Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Be at least 18 years old (inclusive).

- Have LDH =1.5 x ULN at the screening visit.

- Have PNH diagnosis, confirmed by high sensitivity flow cytometry (granulocyte or
monocyte clone >10%).

- Have Hb less than the lower limit of normal (LLN) at the screening visit.

- Have ferritin greater than/equal to the LLN, or total iron binding capacity (TIBC)
less than/equal to ULN at the screening visit, based on central laboratory reference
ranges. If a subject is receiving iron supplements at screening, the Investigator must
ensure that the subject's dose has been stable for 4 weeks prior to screening, and it
must be maintained throughout the study. Subjects not receiving iron at screening must
not start iron supplementation during the course of the study.

- Body mass index (BMI) = 35 kg/m2 at the screening visit.

- Have a platelet count of >50,000/mm3 at the screening visit.

- Have an absolute neutrophil count >500/mm3 at the screening visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Treatment with any complement inhibitor (eg, eculizumab) within 3 months prior to
screening.

- Hereditary complement deficiency.

- History of bone marrow transplantation.

- Concomitant use of any of the following medications is prohibited if not on a stable
regimen for the time period indicated below prior to screening:

- Erythropoietin or immunosuppressants for at least 8 weeks

- Systemic corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks

- Vitamin K antagonists (eg, warfarin) with a stable international normalized ratio
(INR) for at least 4 weeks

- Iron supplements, vitamin B12, or folic acid for at least 4 weeks

- Low-molecular-weight heparin for at least 4 weeks
