Jan 19th, 2021 - Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired, life-threatening hematologic disease characterized by chronic complement-mediated hemolysis and thrombosis. Despite treatment with eculizumab, a C5 inhibitor, 72% of individuals remain anem...

Dec 28th, 2020 - Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a hematological disorder that affects hematopoietic stem cells. An association with other hematological diseases, such as hemolytic anemia and neutropenia, is observed with a high occurrence of aplastic...

Dec 21st, 2020 - We aimed to determine whether small paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) clones detected by flow cytometry (FCM) harbor PIG gene mutations with quantitative correlation. We analyzed 89 specimens from 63 patients whose PNH clone size was ≥0.1%...

Dec 20th, 2020 - While red blood cells (RBCs) and granulocytes have been more studied, platelets and reticulocytes are not commonly used in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) flow-cytometry and less is known about susceptibility to complement-mediated destr...

Dec 10th, 2020 - Ravulizumab every 8 weeks showed non-inferiority to eculizumab every 2 weeks in a 26-week, phase 3, randomized controlled trial in adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) who were clinically stable on eculizumab (NCT03056040). We rep...

Jun 9th, 2010 - Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by a somatic mutation in the PIGA gene, leading to a deficiency of proteins linked to the cell membrane via glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors....

Jan 21st, 2020 - The introduction of eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting C5 of the complement cascade, revolutionized the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare hematologic disorder characterized by complement-mediated intravascular.

Oct 20th, 2019 - The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ravulizumab (Ultomiris, Alexion Pharmaceuticals) to inhibit complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in adults and children age 1 month or older with atypical hemolytic uremic synd...

Apr 18th, 2019 - GLASGOW – APL-2, a complement factor 3 (C3) inhibitor, may be a future treatment option for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), according to investigators from two separate studies. Will Pass/MDedge Ne.
