IPTACOPAN ASH UPDATE
The path to PNH diagnosis and treatment involves many steps
and can take months to years
Delays in
diagnosis and
treatment of PNH
Up to 3 years to diagnose PNH (avg. 7-9 months)
■ Median age at disease onset 36 years¹
■ Common symptoms (e.g., fatigue, hemoglobinuria) can have multiple causes
■ "Watch & Wait" for disease progression before treatment is initiated
■ Patients still experiencing symptoms and may be receiving transfusions
Increase urgency
to intervene earlier
Limited options
available for
treatment
■ Until 2021, only anti-C5's available for treatment
■ 4-6 weeks to determine if treatment is working
■ Some patients unwilling to commit to regular infusions
More choice in
first line and switch
Need to make
treatment for life
manageable
☐
Regular monitoring with stable patients every 3 months but unstable patients
as often as weekly
■ "Good enough" patient outcomes accepted
Managed by hematologists
Unburden patients from
infusions and expect
more from treatments
