Study Description

The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan
upon switching from anti-C5 antibody to iptacopan treatment in study participants with
aHUS. The study is designed as a multicenter, single-arm, open label study to evaluate the
efficacy and safety of iptacopan upon switching from anti-C5 antibody to iptacopan
treatment in participants with aHUS. It consists of a screening period of up to 8 weeks
followed by a 12-Month Core Treatment period and 12-Month Extension Treatment period.

The study will assess the effects of iptacopan on a range of efficacy assessments
relevant to aHUS.
