About this study

Official title: Post-authorization Safety Study of Iptacopan in Adult Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) Using Data From the Non-interventional IPIG PNH Registry

This is an observational single-arm descriptive cohort study based on the secondary use of data collected on iptacopan-treated patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) through the International PNH Interest Group (IPIG) PNH registry.

Read the detailed description

This multinational, non-interventional, descriptive single-arm cohort study is based on secondary analysis of data collected within the iptacopan silo of the IPIG PNH Registry (data on iptacopan-treated patients made available to Novartis). This is a non-interventional study utilizing secondary data and is considered a "registry-based study." The IPIG PNH Registry (CT.gov NCT06524726), the parent registry, includes a dedicated drug silo to collect data from patients using iptacopan in routine care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemoglobinuria, Paroxysmal, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with infections caused by encapsulated bacteria (time frame: From initiation of iptacopan until discontinuation + 3 days, or end of follow-up, up to 5 years.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2026.
