A First-in-Human Safety and Efficacy Study of ALN-CFB, a Small Interfering RNA (siRNA) Targeting Complement Factor B, in Adult Participants With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria With Persistent Anemia on a C5 Inhibitor

This study is researching an experimental drug called ALN-CFB. The study is focused on people with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) who are currently taking a complement component C5 inhibitor ("C5-inhibitor") and continue to have anemia (low red blood cell count).

The aim of the study is to see how tolerable ALN-CFB is compared to placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not contain any drug.

The study is looking at several other research questions, including:

* What side effects may happen from taking ALN-CFB * How much ALN-CFB is in the blood at different times * How much Complement Factor B (CFB) protein levels in the blood are affected by ALN-CFB

About this study

The protocol will be amended to describe Part B of the study after Part A data have been analyzed.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Has been diagnosed with PNH confirmed by a history of high flow cytometry from prior testing
  • Treated with a stable dose of C5 inhibitor (eculizumab or approved eculizumab biosimilar, ravulizumab, or crovalimab) for at least 24 weeks prior to screening visit, as described in the protocol
  • Has hemoglobin ≤10.5 g/dL at screening visit 1, with evidence of anemia prior to this visit, as described in the protocol
  • Has peripheral blood reticulocyte count of ≥100 x 10^9/L at screening visit 1

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has history of bone marrow transplantation or receipt of an organ transplant
  • Has history of meningococcal infection or similar recurrent infections by other encapsulated bacterial organisms
  • Has any active, ongoing infection or a recent infection requiring ongoing systemic treatment with antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within 2 weeks of screening or during the screening period
  • Has laboratory evidence of bone marrow failure, as described in the protocol
  • Have recent, unstable medical conditions, not related to PNH or PNH-related complications, as described in the protocol
