Vulnerable Population
Minors aged 16–17 are eligible (inclusion: "16 years or older"). Informed consent required: "Willing to provide written informed consent" (participants provide written consent themselves). The trial data indicate vulnerable population not selected (isVulnerablePopulationSelected: false). No specific assent procedures or additional consent-age procedures are described in the available documents.

  • {"criterion_text":"- The patient is eligible for treatment with ravulizumab in line with relevant Dutch guidelines or is already being treated with ravulizumab according to the label and Dutch guidelines.\n- Willing to provide written informed consent\n- 16 years or older"}

Exclusion criteria

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Percentage of change in LDH compared to baseline LDH between standard dosing and individualized dosing","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Change in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level compared to baseline LDH between treatment arms (LDH measurement vs baseline)."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Difference in percentage target attainment (Ravulizumab concentration >100 mg/L) between the standard dosing regimen and the individualized dosing regimen","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Proportion of patients achieving ravulizumab concentration >100 mg/L (measured ravulizumab serum concentration), comparison between regimens."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The proportion of patients with breakthrough hemolysis, defined as at least 1 new or worsening symptom or sign of intravascular hemolysis (fatigue, hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, shortness of breath [dyspnea], anemia [hemoglobin <10 g/dL], major adverse vascular event [including thrombosis], dysphagia, or erectile dysfunction) in the presence of elevated LDH ≥2× the ULN after prior reduction of LDH to <1.5× the ULN on treatment","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Breakthrough hemolysis defined as ≥1 new/worsening symptom or sign listed above in presence of LDH ≥2× ULN after prior reduction to <1.5× ULN."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Quality of life assessed with the FACIT-Fatigue Scale and patient preference","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Quality of life measured using the FACIT-Fatigue Scale; patient preference captured by study-specific preference measures."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Differences between number of transfusions between both dosing strategies","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Number of transfusions per patient compared between dosing strategies (count of transfusion events)."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Differences in cumulative ravulizumab dose over 52 weeks, number of infusions and appointments with the physician as surrogate marker for treatment costs.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Cumulative ravulizumab dose over 52 weeks (mg), count of infusions and physician appointments used as surrogate markers for treatment costs."}
