Brief Summary  

The purpose of this Phase 3b study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of iptacopan in participants with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). All participants should have successfully completed the full study treatment period in a Novartis-sponsored Phase 3 study of iptacopan in aHUS. 

aHUS is a very rare disease that happens when there is an uncontrolled activation of an important system in your body called the alternative complement pathway (AP). The AP usually provides protection against infections. However, in aHUS, the over-activation of AP can lead to destruction of red blood cells, low platelets and damage small blood vessels in your kidneys causing inflammation. This is known as thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). The constant inflammation causes continued damage to your kidneys.

Iptacopan is a new treatment  tested in aHUS. It is believed that it may improve aHUS by reducing inflammation and helping your kidneys. Iptacopan acts on a protein called factor B in your immune system. Inhibition of factor B has the potential to prevent the destruction of red blood cells by your own immune system resulting in maintenance of normal hemoglobin levels.
