Eculizumab has transformed outcomes for patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Its efficacy and safety profile was well characterized in the clinical trial program. The long-term not previously assessed or compared against nontreated an observational registry setting.The Global aHUS Registry recruits diagnoses of aHUS. This analysis includes baseline characteristics targeted events from adult pediatric who were "ever treated" versus "never eculizumab first 5 years registry,...

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare disease in which uncontrolled terminal complement activation leads to systemic thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Pregnancy can trigger aHUS and, without inhibition, many women with pregnancy-triggered (p-aHUS) progress end-stage renal (ESRD) high risk of morbidity. Owing relatively small patient numbers, published characterizations p-aHUS have been limited, thus the Global Registry (NCT01522183, April 2012) provides unique opportunity...

Abstract Introduction Atypical haemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare form of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) associated with complement dysregulation; aHUS may be other ‘triggers’ or ‘clinical conditions’. This study aimed to characterize this patient population using data from the Global Registry, largest collection real‐world on patients aHUS. Methods Patients enrolled in Registry between April 2012 and June 2021 recorded aHUS‐associated triggers clinical conditions prior/up onset...

Abstract Introduction Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare form of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) often caused by alternative complement dysregulation. Patients with aHUS can present malignant hypertension (MHT), which may also cause TMA. Methods This analysis the Global Registry (NCT01522183) assessed demographics and clinical characteristics in eculizumab-treated not-treated patients aHUS, ( n = 71) without 1026) hypertension, to further elucidate potential relationship...

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a progressive rare disease that, if untreated, can result in severe organ damage and death. Ravulizumab, next-generation terminal complement inhibitor, provides immediate, complete, sustained C5 inhibition. Real-world data patients with aHUS who switched to ravulizumab from eculizumab are lacking.

Two risk minimization (RM) tools—a healthcare professional frequently asked questions (HCP-FAQs) brochure and a patient/caregiver information (PCIB)—were developed for HCPs adolescents (aged ≥ 13 years) receiving aripiprazole bipolar I mania their caregivers. This study evaluated the effectiveness of these RM tools in improving awareness education patients/caregivers.

Abstract Background and Aims Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is a progressive rare disease caused by complement dysregulation that can result in severe organ damage death. Ravulizumab, next-generation terminal inhibitor, was designed via targeted modification of eculizumab to enhance antibody recycling attenuate target-mediated drug disposition achieve an extended half-life. Ravulizumab first approved for the treatment aHUS 2019. Real-world evidence with ravulizumab patients...

Background Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT-TMA) is a serious post-transplant complication. Diagnosis difficult due to overlapping symptoms other conditions and lack of universally adopted diagnostic criteria. Methods This retrospective, observational study investigated HSCT-TMA incidence between July 2009–August 2020 using the TriNetX US Electronic Medical Record database. Patients who underwent autologous or allogeneic HSCT...
