Phase II
Intervention type
Biologic
Study type
Interventional
Purpose and 
rationale
To determine whether LFG316 administered via i.v. infusion can induce a 
hematological response, as measured by reduction in hemolytic activity, in 
patients with PNH.
Period 4 was implemented to convert PNH patients receiving i.v. infusion of 
LFG316 to oral treatment with LNP023 in order to enable participation in the 
planned LNP023 long-term extension study CLNP023C12001B, and to 
assure continuous treatment of the study patients who otherwise have limited 
treatment options.
Primary 
Objective(s)
To assess the effect of LFG316 on the reduction of intravascular hemolysis 
in PNH patients as determined by measuring changes in serum LDH levels 
within 4 weeks of treatment and over the entire treatment period.
Secondary 
Objectives
To assess the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of LFG316 in patients with 
PNH. Standard safety monitoring with increased vigilance for infections will 
be applied, and measurement of serum concentrations of LFG316.
Study design
Open-label, non-controlled study in patients with PNH. The study will consist 
of a 60-day screening period to assess eligibility and conduct vaccinations if 
required (for all patients not previously vaccinated at least 2 weeks prior to 
first dosing or if prior vaccination cannot be confirmed). During the treatment 
period 1, all patients will receive infusions of LFG316 every 14 days. At the 
end of period 1, efficacy on hemolytic activity by serum LDH will be assessed. 
All patients will be allowed to enter the optional treatment period 2 and 
subsequently period 3, and will undergo all assessments specified by the 
Protocol Assessment Schedule. The extension period 3 will be followed by a 
Study Completion evaluation approximately 8 weeks after the last drug 
administration.
Patients participating in extension period 3 (up to 260 weeks) will roll over
from the last dosing visit of period 2 to the first visit (which includes drug 
administration) of period 3. The same dosing interval applied in period 1 and 
2 needs to be respected between the last dosing visit of period 2 (Week 52 
of treatment) and the first visit of period 3. The LFG316 treatment for all 
patients will be completed by end of 2021 regardless of each individual 
treatment period.
Patients participating in period 3 will have the option to complete the period 
3 Follow up and Study Completion evaluation or to continue with study period 
4 which is a pre-requisite for their eligibility to join the long-term extension

study CLNP023C12001B. During period 4, which will last approximately 21 
weeks, treatment will be converted from intravenous LFG316 to oral LNP023. 
During the first 4 weeks patients will continue to receive LFG316 20 mg/kg 
every two weeks (total of two administrations) in addition to oral 
administration of LNP023 200 mg b.i.d. After 4 weeks, patients will 
discontinue LFG316 and will proceed with LNP023 200 mg b.i.d. for
approximately 16 weeks (+/- 28 days).
Population
The study population will be comprised of male and female PNH patients not 
currently receiving eculizumab therapy and who fulfill all other eligibility 
criteria.
Key inclusion 
criteria

Introduction
1.1
Background
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a life threatening condition caused by a somatic 
mutation in hematopoietic stem cells leading to loss of cell surface complement regulatory 
proteins (CD55 & CD59) on all progeny cells including red blood cells (RBCs). The deficiency 
in CD55 & CD59 allows for uncontrolled C3 activation & opsonization of RBCs. Subsequently, 
assembly of the membrane attack complex (MAC) from Complement factors C5, C6, C7, C8, 
C9 causes intravascular lysis of RBCs. The resulting paroxysms of hemolysis lead to the release 
of high amounts of free hemoglobin into the circulation, which is reflected by hemoglobinuria
and a drop in circulating haptoglobin. The clinical manifestations of PNH are multifold and 
include fatigue, abdominal pain and smooth muscle dystonias. The highly elevated risk for 
thromboembolic events is the most important cause of mortality. Frequent blood transfusions 
are required to treat anemia in PNH patients experiencing severe episodes of hemolysis.
LFG316 is an anti-C5 antibody that binds to a different, remote epitope on C5 compared with 
eculizumab. 
Beside the well-described intravascular hemolysis, PNH patients frequently present with 
persistent extravascular hemolysis despite blockade of the complement Factor C5 leading to 
continuous red blood cell hemolysis, reactive reticulocytosis, increased bilirubin and LDH 
levels (Hill et al 2010; Risitano et al 2009).
LNP023 is a novel oral small molecular weight compound that reversibly inhibits FB of the 
complement alternative pathway (AP) thereby preventing C3 fragments from opsonizing PNH 
erythrocytes
leading 
to 
less 
extravascular 
and 
intravascular 
hemolysis 
(Risitano and Marotta 2016; Subias Hidalgo et al 2017). It is thought that blockade of the AP 
with oral LNP023 has the potential to prevent both intra- and extravascular hemolysis and 
therefore offer therapeutic superiority to the anti-C5 therapy.

Human safety and tolerability data
1.1.1.3.1 LFG316
Eculizumab was approved in 2007 for the treatment of PNH and in 2011 for atypical hemolytic 
uremic syndrome. The most important serious safety finding with eculizumab therapy is the 
increased risk of Neisseria infections. Therefore, patients are vaccinated against N. meningitides
prior to receiving eculizumab. In some countries, the prophylactic administration of antibiotics 
is required. Similar measures will be applied in the present study.

1.1.1.3.2 LNP023
There are N=29 PNH patients receiving b.i.d dose between 25 and 200 mg LNP023 in 
CLNP023X2201 and CLNP023X2204 studies. The approximately 3 months core parts of both
studies are completed and patients continue to receive LNP023 in an extension phase
(total treatment duration between approximately 10 months and 2.5 years depending on the 
patient).
In addition, there are several ongoing studies in C3 glomerulopathy, IgA nephropathy (IgAN) 
and membranous nephropathy (MN).

Known potential safety risks of LNP023 based on the mechanism of action (complement FB
inhibition) include susceptibility to infections. Patients with mutations of FB are generally 
healthy, 
but 
have 
impaired 
resistance 
against 
encapsulated 
bacterial 
infections 
(Slade et al 2013).
There have been no serious infections reported in PNH patients treated with LNP023, the most 
significant non-serious infections being recurrent herpes virus infections, bilateral otitis and 
mild acneiform lesions in one patient each.
Of note, a suspected unexpected serious adverse reaction (SUSAR) of pneumococcal 
pneumonia with septic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was recently 
reported on the C3 glomerulopathy trial in a multiply immunosuppressed patient with a history 
of renal transplantation. This first report of an infection with encapsulated bacteria was 
considered by the Investigator as suspected to be related to LNP023, but also to the other 
immunosuppressive agents the patient was on concomitantly (i.e., prednisone, cyclosporin, 
mycophenolate mofetil) and triggered the issuance of an Investigator Notification. The patient 
completely recovered.

Study purpose
The purpose of the study is to determine whether LFG316 administered via i.v. infusion at 
20 mg/kg once every 14 days can induce a hematological response, as measured by reduction 
in hemolytic activity, in patients with PNH. 
Period 3 (extension of treatment duration) was implemented to ensure a seamless continuation 
of treatment for LFG316-responsive patients enrolled in the study.
Period 4 is implemented to convert PNH patients receiving i.v. infusion of LFG316 to oral 
treatment with LNP023, thereby allowing them to be considered for participation in the planned 
long-term extension study CLNP023C12001B.

Investigational plan
3.1
Study design
This is an open-label, non-controlled study in patients with PNH. Approximately 10 patients 
will be enrolled in the study. At the time that Protocol amendment v07 is effective, no additional 
patients will be enrolled. The study drug will be administered via i.v. infusion at the dose level 
of 20 mg/kg every 14 days. Patients participating in study will have an option to either complete 
period 3 Follow up and Study Completion evaluation or continue in study period 4 that is
pre-requisite to join the long-term extension study CLNP023C12001B, that is separate to this 
study protocol. Patients who are potentially eligible and willing to participate in the LNP023 
long-term extension study will join period 4, where treatment will be converted from LFG316 
to LNP023 200 mg b.i.d.
The study will consist of a 60-day screening period to assess eligibility and conduct vaccinations
if required (for all patients not previously vaccinated at least 2 weeks prior to first dosing or if 
prior vaccination cannot be confirmed). An extensive screening window (up to 60 days) is 
planned in order to comply with local vaccination requirements, if available and deemed 
necessary at the investigator’s discretion. Safety evaluation assessments requiring blood and 
urine samplings, pregnancy test, pulmonary function test, ECG, patient reported outcomes, and 
assessment of number of blood transfusions should be performed no longer than 4 weeks prior

to the planned dosing day. Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria at screening will be 
admitted to baseline (Day 1) evaluations. The patients will enter treatment period 1, and will 
receive infusions of LFG316 every 14 days, days 1, 15 and 29 (3 administrations).
At the end of period 1, efficacy on hemolytic activity by serum LDH will be assessed. 
All patients will then be allowed to enter the optional treatment period 2, and will receive 
infusions of LFG316 every 14 days, and undergo the efficacy, PK, 
 and 
safety assessments for additional 48 weeks.
Following the 48-week treatment period 2, LFG316-responsive patients (assessed based on 
investigator’s judgment) will be allowed to enter an additional third extension period of up to 
260 weeks (extension period 3).
The LFG316 treatment for all patients will be completed by end of 2021 regardless of each 
individual treatment period.
Patients participating in extension period 3 will roll over from the last dosing visit of period 2 
to the first visit (which includes drug administration) of period 3. The same dosing interval 
applied in Period 1 and 2 will be applied between the last dosing visit of Period 2 and the first 
visit of Period 3.
Period 4 can be initiated as directed by Sponsor and will last approximately 21 weeks. 
During the first 4 weeks patients will continue to receive LFG316 20 mg/kg every two weeks
(total of two administrations) in addition to oral administration of LNP023 200 mg b.i.d. After 
4 weeks, patients will discontinue LFG316 and will proceed with LNP023 200 mg b.i.d.
monotherapy for approximately 16 weeks (+/- 28 days). Patients who participate in period 4 
can join the long-term extension study CLNP023C12001B as soon as their eligibility is 
confirmed and study CLNP023C12001B is open to receive patients. There should be no 
LNP023 treatment gap between the studies. Please refer to Section 7.1 for guidance regarding 
safety monitoring and LNP023 down-titration in case of LNP023 treatment discontinuation.
For patients not participating in the period 4, the extension period 3 will be followed by a Study 
Completion evaluation approximately 8 weeks after the last drug administration. Patients who
discontinue treatment prematurely during any of the study periods will be followed for 8 weeks
after discontinuation, and will similarly undergo a study completion visit. The 8 weeks follow-
up period will start the day after the last drug administration (both for patients completing 
treatment and patients prematurely discontinuing), and will comprise one visit after 
approximately 4 weeks, and a study completion visit after approximately 8 weeks from the last 
drug administration. Safety assessments will include physical examinations, ECG, vital signs, 
standard clinical laboratory evaluations (hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis) and adverse 
event monitoring.
Patients participating in period 4, will complete their Study Completion evaluation 
approximately one week after last LNP023 treatment administered as a part of this study.

Rationale of study design
The design of this study addresses the primary objective of reduction of hemolysis in patients
with PNH and takes into account the rarity of this disease and the objective nature of the 
measurement, i.e. reduction in serum LDH levels.
This non-controlled study was designed as a non-placebo-controlled study since the absence of 
a placebo response in this patient population can be assumed, based on published data and the 
nature of the primary outcome measure, which is a biochemical parameter. This study will be 
limited to patients who require treatment but are currently not treated with eculizumab.

Rationale of dose/regimen, duration of treatment
3.3.1
LFG316
LFG316 will be administered at 20 mg/kg as i.v. infusion every 14 days throughout all periods.
Duration of the infusion will vary between 40 minutes and 2 hours as described in provided 
separately pharmacy manual.
The dosing regimen may be adjusted in period 2 to achieve sufficient 
drug exposure to warrant safety of the patient, e.g. in case of breakthrough hemolysis towards 
the end of a dosing interval. In period 1 dosing should not be changed, unless judged 
unavoidable to warrant patient’s safety by the investigator. Details are outlined in Section 6.3.
Considering the favorable safety profile and exposure levels detected at the 20 mg/kg dose, a 
dosing regimen of 20 mg/kg every 14 days (2 weeks) was chosen in the present study. 
The dosing regimen may be adjusted if insufficient duration of benefit is observed, e.g. in case 
of breakthrough hemolysis towards the end of a dosing interval, as measured by LDH levels.
To date patients up to 82 years old were safely treated with LFG316 and considering lack of 
any treatment options it is deemed justified to allow the treatment of older PNH patients.

LNP023
The dose of 200 mg LNP023 b.i.d. as continuous treatment has been selected for period 4 of 
this study based on the available efficacy and safety data obtained at the time of interim analyses 
from the two ongoing Phase 2 PNH studies and is supported by PKPD modeling results.
In the CLNP023X2201 study in patients with active hemolysis despite treatment with 
eculizumab, LNP023 at a dose of 200 mg b.i.d. was administered to N=10 PNH patients 
(Cohort 1) and at a dose of 50 mg b.i.d. to N=6 PNH patients (Cohort 2). 
In the CLNP023X2204 study, enrolling anti-C5 antibody treatment naive patients, participants
received LNP023 monotherapy with sequential dose increments at Week 4 from LNP023 25 
mg b.i.d. to 100 mg b.i.d (Sequence 1) or LNP023 50 mg b.i.d. to 200 mg b.i.d. (Sequence 2). 
The dose of 200 mg b.i.d. is expected to provide optimal efficacy required for PNH as 
monotherapy with an adequate safety profile

In summary, LNP023 at a dose of 200 mg b.i.d. was not only safe and well tolerated by patients 
in both studies in PNH but demonstrated convincing efficacy as monotherapy measured as 
efficacious control of both, intra- as well as extravascular hemolysis. The same LNP023 dose 
of 200 mg BID was tested safe, well tolerated and efficacious in patients with IgA nephropathy 
(study CLNP023X2203; NCT04557462) and C3 glomerulopathy (CLNP023X2202; 
NCT03832114), further supporting its use in this study. The taper down of 2 weeks was 
included to mitigate potential risk of increased hemolysis after LNP023 discontinuation. 
This will be only implemented for patients who cannot complete period 4 or continue LNP023 
treatment in long-term extension study.
Four weeks of LFG316 and LNP023 co-exposure in period 4 allows to establish LNP023 steady 
state concentration and efficacious complement Factor B inhibition before discontinuing the 
complement Factor C5 neutralization with LFG316. Based on data from study CLNP023X2201 
(see above), co-exposure of LNP023 and anti-C5 therapy is considered safe and well tolerated.
A treatment duration with LNP023 is thought to fulfill the required minimum of 3 months stable 
conditions under LNP023 monotherapy that allows patients to join the long-term extension 
study CLNP023C12001B.

Risks and benefits
PNH is a hematological disease with various severe morbidities and increased mortality, mostly
due to thromboembolic complications. The only approved and effective therapy is the anti-C5 
antibody eculizumab.

. Classical treatment regimens are based on blood transfusion, 
anticoagulation, and support of erythropoiesis. They are poorly efficacious and associated with 
a high burden to the patients.
LFG316 has comparable PK/
properties as eculizumab and is therefore expected to 
effectively inhibit hemolysis and show similar clinical benefit in all PNH patients including 
carriers of the variant described above.
The main risks of anti-C5 therapies are related to infections. To date, no infection has been 
observed in the limited number of subjects who have received intravenous LFG316. The most 
important adverse effect associated with systemic eculizumab, however, is infection by 
Neisseria (N). meningitidis (e.g. meningitis). These infections are consistent with reports of
occasional but recurrent meningococcal infections seen in patients with total hereditary C5 
deficiency (Rosenfeld et al 2006; Haeney et al 1980; Cesbron et al 1985; Sanal et al 1992; 
Delgado-Cerviño et al 2005; 
López-Lera et al 2009; 
Zerzri et al 2010);
pneumococcal 
infections were also reported in hereditary complement deficiency. Where measured, affected 
(homozygous) patients showed no measurable circulating C5 protein or complement-mediated 
hemolytic activity. Importantly, heterozygous C5-deficient relatives have roughly half the 
normal levels of circulating C5 and hemolytic activity but do not appear to be at risk for 
infections, thus suggesting that the risk increases only in cases of >50% inhibition of C5.
The risk to patients in this trial will be minimized by adherence to the eligibility criteria,
counseling, close clinical monitoring, and meningococcal vaccination prior to administration of 
LFG316, due to the risk of infection with encapsulated bacteria.
For patients under treatment with any other immunosuppressive drugs during the study, 
treatment with prophylactic antibiotics is strongly recommended. Overall, the potential benefits 
of anti-C5 therapy outweigh the risks in this population of PNH patients.
The study is divided into 4 parts: treatment period 1 (29 days), during which a total of
approximately 350 mL of blood will be collected, treatment period 2 (335 days), during which 
approximately 700 mL blood will be collected,  treatment period 3 (up to 5 years duration),
during which the maximum collected blood volume will be approximately 1300 mL, and period 
4 (approximately 5 months) when approximately 220 mL of blood will be collected.
The maximum blood volume over any 12 week period will not exceed 450 ml.
Additional samples for monitoring of any safety findings would be in addition to this. This is 
not considered to be a risk for this population.
Women of child bearing potential should be informed that taking the study drug may involve 
unknown risks to the fetus if pregnancy were to occur during the study and agree that in order 
to participate in the study they must adhere to the contraception requirement for the duration of 
the study. If there is any question that the subject will not reliably comply, they should not be 
entered in the study.
There may be unknown risks of LFG316 which may be serious and unforeseen.
In the absence of any additional anticipated or known risks of complement inhibition in 
relationship with COVID-19, the benefit/risk ratio of this study protocol and of both 
investigational drugs in particular, LFG316 and LNP023, remains unchanged during the 
COVID-19 pandemic.

3.6.1
Risks and benefits for period 4
The risks associated with the use of LNP023 are those inferred by its mechanism of action as 
well as the findings of preclinical safety studies. The most relevant risks and mitigation 
strategies are described below and a more comprehensive description of safety findings to date 
is available in Section 1.1.1.3.2 and in the IB.
Based on its mechanism of action, the main potential risk of LNP023 is infection-related. 
An intact complement system is particularly important for the defense against encapsulated 
bacteria (e.g., Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Hemophilus influenzae). 
Patients with factor B loss-of-function mutations are more susceptible to such infections 
(Slade et al 2013). The mitigation strategy is to vaccinate patients before the first LNP023 
treatment. If LNP023 treatment has to start earlier than 2 weeks post vaccination, prophylactic 
antibiotic treatment must be initiated. Data suggest that the protective effect of vaccination is 
maintained after blockade of the AP, but not after C5 blockade (Konar and Granoff 2017). 
In addition, patients will be instructed to contact the Investigator immediately in case of any 
signs or symptoms of infection (listed on a “Patient Card” for participant awareness), and 
relevant AEs will be reviewed on a regular basis.
Regarding the potential safety risks mentioned above, to date, there have been no serious 
infections reported in PNH patients, although a SUSAR of pneumococcal pneumonia and sepsis 
was recently reported on the C3 glomerulopathy trial in a severely immunosuppressed patient 
with a history of renal transplantation (see Section 1.1.1.3.2). Considering implementation of 
the vaccinations and close monitoring, the risk for serious infection during LNP023 treatment 
is still considered to be low. Finally, there have been no serious adverse events related to the 
other potential risks in any of the clinical studies.

The risk to subjects in this trial receiving LNP023 will be minimized by adherence to the 
eligibility criteria, close clinical monitoring, pre-defined stopping rules, periodic review of the 
safety data, and guidance for the investigators in the Investigator’s Brochure.
To note, women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must be informed that taking the study 
treatment may involve unknown risks to the fetus if pregnancy were to occur during the study, 
and agree that in order to participate in the study they must adhere to the highly effective 
contraception requirements outlined in the Exclusion Criteria. If there is any question that the 
subject will not reliably comply, they should not be entered or continue in the study.

Treatment exposure and compliance
LFG316 will be administered at the dose level of 20 mg/kg via intravenous infusion by the 
Investigator or designated study staff over approximately 2 hours in Period 1 and between 
40 minutes and 2 hours in Periods 2 and 3 (please refer to Pharmacy Manual), and therefore 
compliance with the planned treatment will be assumed since infusions will be carried out under 
close medical supervision at the study sites. Although infusion reactions have not been observed
with LFG316 to date, close medical supervision at the study site is requested during the infusion 
time of LFG316 and up to 2 hours after the end of the infusion during Treatment Period 1.
In case of a suspected infusion reaction (e.g. mild rash, general discomfort) the infusion rate 
should be reduced and vital signs should be monitored continuously. Infusion should be stopped 
in case of severe reactions with need for intervention, as judged by the investigator 
(e.g. treatment with glucocorticoids, histamine antagonists, epinephrine, bronchodilators).
Pharmacokinetic parameters (measures of treatment exposure) will be determined in all subjects 
treated with LFG316, as detailed in Section 8.5.
Applicable for period 4: LNP023 will be administered orally at the patients’ home or at the 
study center (mandatory at days when PK samples are collected). During days 1-28 patients 
will be receiving both LFG316 every 2 weeks and LNP023 every day. On days 29-141 (+/-28 
days), LNP023 will be administered as monotherapy. LNP023 dose diary will be implemented 
to capture information on missing doses. During the COVID-19 pandemic that limits or 
prevents on-site study visits, delivery of LNP023 directly to a patient’s home is generally 
permitted in the event the Investigator has decided that an on-site visit by the patient is no longer 
appropriate or possible, and that it is in the interest of the patient’s health to administer the study

treatment even without performing an on-site visit. Implementation will need to be discussed 
with Novartis. The dispatch of IMP from the site to the patient’s home remains under the 
accountability of the Investigator. In this case, regular phone calls or virtual contacts (at the 
frequency matching planned study visit) will occur between the site and the patient for 
instructional purposes, safety monitoring, and discussion of the patient´s health status until the 
patients can again visit the site.
6.8
Recommended treatment of adverse events
Treatment of AEs should follow standard practice. Medication used to treat AEs must be 
recorded on the Concomitant medications/Significant non-drug therapies CRF.
6.9
Rescue medication
Use of rescue medication must be recorded on the Concomitant medications/Significant non-drug 
therapies CRF after start of study drug. Additional doses of LFG316 may be administered in case of 
hemolytic crisis between infusions (as evidenced e.g. by sudden increase in LDH levels, decrease in 
Hb and based on Investigator’s judgment, and can be discussed with Novartis).
Use of eculizumab or other biologics as a rescue medication would lead to treatment 
discontinuation, and subjects entering the 8 week safety follow-up. Blood transfusions and other 
therapeutic measures are permitted, as outlined in Section 6.1.2.
6.10
Concomitant treatment
All prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs and significant non-drug therapies 
(including physical therapy and blood transfusions) administered or taken within the timeframe 
defined in the entry criteria prior to the start of the study and during the study, must be recorded 
on the Concomitant medications/ Significant non-drug therapies section of the CRF.
Medication entries should be specific to trade name, the single dose and unit, the frequency and 
route of administration, the start and discontinuation date and the reason for therapy.
7
Discontinuation and study completion
7.1
Discontinuation of study treatment
Subjects may voluntarily discontinue study treatment for any reason at any time.
The investigator must discontinue study treatment for a given subject if, on balance, he/she 
believes that continuation would be detrimental to the subject’s well-being.
Study treatment must be discontinued under the following circumstances:

Subject withdraws consent

Pregnancy

Emergence of the following adverse events:

Evidence for invasive Neisseria infection

In case of other severe systemic or life-threatening infections, treatment
discontinuation should be decided on a case-by-case basis

Novartis
Confidential
Page 48
Amended Protocol Version v08 (Clean)
Protocol No. CLFG316X2201

Use of prohibited treatment as per Section 5.2.

Any other protocol deviation that results in a significant risk to the subject’s safety
Subjects who discontinue study treatment or who decide they do not wish to participate in the 
study further should NOT be considered withdrawn from the study UNLESS they withdraw 
their consent (see Section 7.3). Where possible, they should return for the 8 week safety 
follow-up, which includes monitoring of intravascular hemolysis after drug discontinuation. 
If they fail to return for these assessments for unknown reasons, every effort (e.g. telephone, 
e-mail, letter) should be made to contact them as specified in Section 7.2.1.
If treatment with LNP023 has to be discontinued prematurely and immediately (i.e., because of 
a significant safety risk which warrants immediately stopping LNP023 treatment), it is 
recommended to promptly re-initiate treatment with Standard of Care (SoC), as judged by the 
investigator.
Close monitoring of patients for signs and symptoms of hemolysis should be performed upon 
LNP023 discontinuation. It is recommended to monitor at minimum for: increase in LDH, 
decrease in hemoglobin level and PNH clone size, increase in serum creatinine, thrombosis, and 
change in neurological/mental status. If serious hemolysis occurs, the Investigator should 
consider the following supportive treatments (and recording them in the appropriate CRF 
pages):

Blood transfusion (packed RBCs), or

Exchange transfusion if the PNH RBCs are >50% of the total RBCs by flow
cytometry,

Corticosteroids,

Anticoagulation,

Any other supportive treatment or therapy as judged by the investigator.
An End of Study (EoS) visit one week after permanent discontinuation of LNP023 should occur 
for the assessments as specified in the Assessment schedule.
If treatment with LNP023 has to be discontinued prematurely but it is not warranted to 
immediately discontinue LNP023 treatment (i.e., discontinuation due to patient/guardian 
decision or confirmed pregnancy), it is recommended to promptly initiate the available SoC in 
the country as judged by the investigator. In addition, it should be considered to taper down 
LNP023 over a period of 14 days:
Down-titration is also recommended for patients who start LNP023 treatment in period 4 and 
do not join long-term extension study.
The investigator should consider the proposed monitoring and supportive treatments listed 
above in case serious hemolysis occurs. During LNP023 tapering, weekly visits are 
recommended 
 The following assessments are recommended: 
blood hematology and chemistry for parameters specified in Section 8.3.4.

All data collected will be entered in the appropriate CRF page as an unscheduled 
visit/assessment.
7.2
Study completion and post-study treatment
Each subject will be asked to complete this study in its entirety (period 1, 2 and 3) and they may
be offered to enter an additional extension trial, provided LFG316 shows benefit as defined by 
the response criteria. Patients willing and eligible to join the extension study
CLNP023C12001B must participate in period 4.
Study completion is defined as when the last subject completes their End of Study visit, and 
any repeat assessments associated with this visit have been documented and followed-up 
appropriately by the Investigator, or in the event of an early study termination decision, the date 
of that decision.
At a minimum, patients ending participation after period 3, will be contacted for safety 
evaluations during the 8 week safety follow-up period in which intravascular hemolysis will be
monitored, and a final Study Completion Visit will be conducted at the conclusion of the safety 
follow-up period. A safety follow-up call should be conducted approximately 30 days after last
LNP023 administration to confirm he patient has not experienced any SAEs during this post-
study period for any patient participating in period 4, who does not roll over into 
CLNP023C12001B. Documentation of attempts to contact the subject should be recorded in 
the source documentation The investigator must provide follow-up medical care for all subjects 
who are prematurely withdrawn from the study, or must refer them for appropriate ongoing care.
7.2.1
Lost to follow-up
For subjects whose status is unclear because they fail to appear for study visits without stating 
an intention to discontinue or withdraw, the investigator should show "due diligence" by 
documenting in the source documents steps taken to contact the subject, e.g. dates of telephone 
calls, registered letters, etc. A subject should not be formally considered lost to follow-up until 
his/her scheduled end of study visit would have occurred.
7.3
Withdrawal of consent
Subjects may voluntarily withdraw consent to participate in the study for any reason at any time.
Withdrawal of consent occurs only when a subject does not want to participate in the study 
anymore and does not allow further collection of personal data.
If a subject withdraws consent, the investigator must make every effort to determine the primary 
reason for this decision and record this information. Study treatment must be discontinued and 
no further assessments conducted, and the data that would have been collected at subsequent 
visits will be considered missing. Further attempts to contact the subject are not allowed unless 
safety findings require communicating or follow-up.
Novartis will continue to keep and use collected study information (including any data resulting 
from the analysis of a subject’s samples until the time of withdrawal) according to applicable 
law.

Page 50
Amended Protocol Version v08 (Clean)
Protocol No. CLFG316X2201
For US and Japan: All biological samples not yet analyzed at the time of withdrawal may still 
be used for further testing/analysis in accordance with the terms of this protocol and of the 
informed consent form.
For EU and RoW: All biological samples not yet analyzed at the time of withdrawal will no 
longer be used, unless permitted by applicable law. They will be stored according to applicable 
legal requirements.
7.4
Study stopping rules
Enrollment will be put on hold pending full safety review if more than one unexpected and 
possibly related SAEs is reported. The study will be stopped if the benefit-risk ratio changes to 
be unacceptable in this indication.
7.5
Early study termination
The study can be terminated at any time by Novartis.
Reasons for early termination:

Unexpected, significant, or unacceptable safety risk to subjects enrolled in the study

Decision based on recommendations from applicable board(s) after review of safety and
efficacy data

Discontinuation of study drug development
In taking the decision to terminate, Novartis will always consider subject welfare and safety.
Should this be necessary, subjects should be seen as soon as possible and treated as a 
prematurely withdrawn subject. The investigator may be informed of additional procedures to 
be followed in order to ensure that adequate consideration is given to the protection of the 
subject’s interests. The investigator or sponsor will be responsible for informing IRBs/IECs of the 
early termination of the trial depending on local regulation.
8
Procedures and assessments
Subjects should be seen for all visits on the designated day, with the assessments performed as 
per schedule, within the allowed “visit/assessment window” specified in the Site Operations 
Manual.
If the COVID-19 pandemic limits or prevents on-site study visits, alternative methods of providing 
continuing care may be implemented. Phone calls, virtual contacts (e.g. teleconsultation) or visits 
by site staff/home nursing service to the patient´s home depending on local regulations and 
capabilities, can replace on-site study visits, for the duration of the pandemic until it is safe for the 
patient to visit the site again. Local laboratory to monitor safety might be implemented if feasible.

8.1
Informed consent procedures
Eligible subjects may only be included in the study after providing written (witnessed, where 
required by law or regulation), IRB/IEC-approved informed consent.
If incapable of doing so, in cases where the subject’s representative gives consent, the subject 
should be informed about the study to the extent possible given his/her understanding. If the 
subject is capable of doing so, he/she should indicate assent by personally signing and dating 
the written informed consent document or a separate assent form.
Informed consent must be obtained before conducting any study-specific procedures (i.e. all of 
the procedures described in the protocol). The process of obtaining informed consent should be 
documented in the subject source documents.
The date of signing of informed consent (and withdrawal, if later withdrawn) should be 
documented in the CRF.
Novartis will provide to investigators a proposed informed consent form that complies with the 
ICH GCP guideline and regulatory requirements and is considered appropriate for this study. 
Any changes to the proposed consent form suggested by the investigator must be agreed to by 
Novartis before submission to the IRB/IEC.
If applicable, Pregnancy Outcome Reporting Consent for female patients will be implemented.
In the event that Novartis wants to perform testing on the samples that are not described in this 
protocol, additional Institutional Review Board and/or Ethics Committee approval will be 
obtained.
A copy of the approved version of all consent forms must be provided to the Novartis monitor 
after IRB/IEC approval.
8.2
Subject demographics/other baseline characteristics
Subject demographic and baseline characteristic data will be collected on all subjects.
Relevant medical history/current medical conditions data includes data until signature of 
informed consent. Where possible, diagnoses and not symptoms will be recorded.
Investigators have the discretion to record abnormal test findings on the medical history section 
of the CRF whenever in their judgment, the test abnormality occurred prior to the informed 
consent signature.
Historical data of serum LDH may be recorded, if available, to help characterize disease status 
and progression.

Safety
Safety assessments are specified below; methods for assessment and recording are specified in 
the Site Operations Manual, with the Assessment schedule detailing when each assessment is 
to be performed.
8.3.1
Physical examination
8.3.2
Vital signs

Body temperature

Blood pressure (BP)

Pulse
Blood pressure and pulse should be collected in a sitting position, after the subject has been 
sitting for 3 minutes.
8.3.3
Height and weight

Height

Body weight (to be used for ongoing dose calculation according to SOM instructions)

Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated (Body weight (kg) / [Height (m)]2)
8.3.4
Laboratory evaluations
Clinically relevant deviations of laboratory test results that are considered unexpected in PNH 
patients, occurring during or at completion of the study must be reported and discussed with 
Novartis personnel. The results should be evaluated for criteria defining an adverse event and 
reported as such if the criteria are met. Repeated evaluations are mandatory until normalization 
of the result(s) or until the change is no longer clinically relevant. In case of doubt, Novartis 
personnel should again be contacted.
Hematology
Hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, white blood cell count with differential and 
platelet count will be measured.
Clinical chemistry
Sodium, potassium, creatinine, urea, uric acid, chloride, albumin, calcium, alkaline phosphatase, 
total bilirubin, CRP, LDH, GGT, AST, ALT, aPTT, PT/INR, CK, glucose, total cholesterol, 
triglycerides. 

Bilirubin: Bilirubin is released during hemolysis and is frequently increased in PNH
patients. Serum levels will be determined using standard procedures. If the total
bilirubin concentration is increased above 3 times above the baseline value, direct and
indirect reacting bilirubin should be differentiated.

Ferritin: Ferritin levels have been reported to increase during treatment with
eculizumab, and are a measure for iron overload. Serum levels will be determined
using standard procedures.


Blood hormones (For period 4 only):
o
Thyroid hormone levels including T3, T4, TSH and reversed T3.
o
Reproductive hormones: Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), Follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Urinalysis
A semi-quantitative "dipstick" evaluation for the following parameters will be performed: 
specific gravity, pH, glucose, protein, bilirubin, urobilinogen, ketones, nitrite, leukocytes and 
blood/hemoglobin.
If the dipstick result is positive for protein, nitrite, leucocytes and/or blood the sample will be 
sent for microscopic analysis of WBC, RBC and casts.
8.3.5
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
PR interval, QRS duration, heart rate, RR, QT, QTc
The Fridericia QT correction formula (QTcF) should be used for clinical decisions.
8.3.6
Pregnancy and assessments of fertility
All pre-menopausal women who are not surgically sterile will have regular serum pregnancy 
test at screening and urine pregnancy tests at all other time points during the study. A positive 
urine pregnancy test requires immediate interruption of study drug until serum β-hCG is 
performed and found to be negative. Only for post-menopausal women hormone measurement
(FSH) to confirm post-menopausal status is required at screening.
8.3.7
Vaccination
Vaccination will be performed according to local recommendations for patients with 
complement deficiencies, if prior vaccination cannot be confirmed. The choice of vaccine(s) 
should take into account the serotypes prevalent in the geographic areas in which study patients 
will be enrolled.
The meningococcal vaccine(s) should be administered at least two weeks prior to starting 
LFG316 and should be boosted during the study as per recommendation. If LNP023 treatment 
has to start earlier than 2 weeks post vaccination, prophylactic antibiotic treatment must be 
initiated.
For patients participating in period 4, vaccination for the prevention of S. pneumoniae and H. 
influenzae infections should be administered at least 2 weeks prior to first dosing with LNP023, 
as per local guidelines and regulations. If LNP023 treatment has to start earlier than 2 weeks 
post vaccination, prophylactic antibiotic treatment must be initiated. Based on local 
recommendations, revaccination at the start of LFG316 therapy should be considered for 
previously vaccinated subjects as well as during LFG316 and LNP023 therapy for subjects who 
will receive prolonged treatment.
Continuous close monitoring of subjects for early symptoms and signs of meningococcal 
infection is required in order to evaluate subjects immediately if an infection is suspected.

Pharmacokinetics
PK samples will be collected at the time points defined in the Assessment schedule.
Further details on sample collection, numbering, processing and shipment can be found in the 
Site Operations Manual.
Determination of the concentration of total LFG316 in serum will be performed using an ELISA 
or LC/MS assay.
A detailed description of the method used to quantify the concentration of total LFG316 will be 
included in the bioanalytical raw data of the study and in the bioanalytical data report.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) samples will be obtained and evaluated in all subjects.
Total LFG316 concentrations will be expressed as μg/mL. 
.
PK samples remaining after completion of the determination of total LFG316 may be used for 
exploratory assessments or other bioanalytical purposes (e.g. cross check between different sites, 
stability assessment). Given the exploratory nature of the work, the analytical method used for 
those assessments will not be validated.
For standard pharmacokinetic abbreviations and definitions see the list provided at the 
beginning of this protocol.
The following pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined (if feasible) using 
non-compartmental method(s) with Phoenix WinNonlin (Version 6.2 or higher): AUC (0-tlast), 
AUC(0-t), Cmax, tmax, Cmax/D, AUC/D. The linear trapezoidal rule will be used for AUC 
calculation.

Safety monitoring
9.1
Adverse events
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (i.e., any unfavorable and 
unintended sign [including abnormal laboratory findings], symptom or disease) in a subject or 
clinical investigation subject after providing written informed consent for participation in the
study. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a 
medicinal (investigational) product.
The occurrence of adverse events should be sought by non-directive questioning of the subject 
at each visit during the study. Adverse events also may be detected when they are volunteered 
by the subject during or between visits or through physical examination, laboratory test, or other 
assessments.
Abnormal laboratory values or test results constitute adverse events only if they fulfill at least 
one of the following criteria:

they induce clinical signs or symptoms, 

they are considered clinically significant, 

they require therapy. 
Clinically significant abnormal laboratory values or test results should be identified through a 
review of values outside of normal ranges/clinically notable ranges, significant changes from 
baseline or the previous visit, or values which are considered to be non-typical in patients with 
underlying disease. Investigators have the responsibility for managing the safety of individual 
subject and identifying adverse events. Alert ranges for liver related events are included in
Section 9.3.
Adverse events must be recorded on the Adverse Events CRF pages for subjects that pass 
screening and enter into the study. The adverse events should be reported according to the signs, 
symptoms or diagnosis associated with them, and accompanied by the following information:
1. the severity grade

mild:
usually transient in nature and generally not interfering with normal 
activities

moderate: sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal activities

severe:
prevents normal activities
2. its relationship to the study treatment (no/yes)
3. its duration (start and end dates) or if the event is ongoing an outcome of not 
recovered/not resolved should be reported.
4. whether it constitutes a serious adverse event (SAE) See Section 9.2 for definition of SAE

Novartis
Confidential
Page 64
Amended Protocol Version v08 (Clean)
Protocol No. CLFG316X2201
5. action taken regarding [study/investigational] treatment(select as appropriate). 
All adverse events should be treated appropriately. Treatment may include one or more of 
the following: 

no action taken (i.e. further observation only) 

study treatment dosage adjusted/temporarily interrupted 

study treatment permanently discontinued due to this adverse event 

concomitant medication given 

non-drug therapy given 

subject hospitalized/subject’s hospitalization prolonged 
6. its outcome (not recovered/not resolved; recovered/resolved; recovering/resolving, 
recovered/resolved with sequelae; fatal; or unknown)
Once an adverse event is detected, it should be followed until its resolution or until it is judged 
to be permanent, and assessment should be made at each visit (or more frequently, if necessary) 
of any changes in severity, the suspected relationship to the study drug, the interventions 
required to treat it, and the outcome.
Information about common side effects already known about the investigational drug can be 
found in the Investigator Brochure (IB) or Core Data Sheet (for marketed drugs) or will be 
communicated between IB updates in the form of Investigator Notifications. This information 
will be included in the subject informed consent and should be discussed with the subject during 
the study as needed.
The investigator should also instruct each subject to report any new adverse event (beyond the 
protocol observation period) that the subject, or the subject’s personal physician, believes might 
reasonably be related to study treatment. This information should be recorded in the 
investigator’s source documents; however, if the AE meets the criteria of an SAE, it must be 
reported to Novartis.

Serious adverse event reporting
9.2.1
Definition of SAE
An SAE is defined as any adverse event (appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) 
undesirable sign(s), symptom(s) or medical conditions(s) which meets any one of the following 
criteria:

is fatal or life-threatening 

results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity

constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect

requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, unless 
hospitalization is for:

routine treatment or monitoring of the studied indication, not associated with any 
deterioration in condition 

elective or pre-planned treatment for a pre-existing condition and has not worsened 
since the start of study drug

treatment on an emergency outpatient basis for an event not fulfilling any of the 
definitions of a SAE given above and not resulting in hospital admission 

social reasons and respite care in the absence of any deterioration in the patient’s 
general condition

is medically significant, i.e. defined as an event that jeopardizes the subject or may require 
medical or surgical intervention.
Life-threatening in the context of a SAE refers to a reaction in which the subject was at risk of 
death at the time of the reaction; it does not refer to a reaction that hypothetically might have 
caused death if more severe.
All malignant neoplasms will be assessed as serious under “medically significant” if other 
seriousness criteria are not met.
Any suspected transmission via a medicinal product of an infectious agent is also considered a 
serious adverse reaction.
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether other situations should 
be considered serious reactions, such as important medical events that might not be immediately 
life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but might jeopardize the patient or might 
require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above. Examples of such events 
are intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood 
dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization or development of dependency or 
abuse.
All AEs (serious and non-serious) are captured on the CRF, SAEs also require individual 
reporting to DS&E as per Section 9.2.2.

9.2.2
SAE reporting
To ensure subject safety, every SAE, regardless of causality, occurring after the subject has 
provided informed consent and until 30 days after the last study drug administration must be 
reported to Novartis within 24 hours of learning of its occurrence as described below. Any SAEs 
experienced after this should only be reported to Novartis if the investigator suspects a causal 
relationship to study treatment.
Recurrent episodes, complications, or progression of the initial SAE must be reported as follow-
up to the original episode, regardless of when the event occurs. This report must be submitted 
within 24 hours of the investigator receiving the follow-up information. An SAE that is 
considered completely unrelated to a previously reported one should be reported separately as 
a new event.
Information about all SAEs (either initial or follow up information) is collected and recorded 
on the paper Serious Adverse Event Report Form. The investigator must assess the relationship 
to each specific component of study treatment (if study treatment consists of several drugs)
complete the SAE Report Form in English, and send the completed, signed form by fax within 
24 hours after awareness of the SAE to the local Novartis Drug Safety and Epidemiology 
Department, notifying the Clinical Trial Leader. Contact information is listed in the 
Site Operations Manual.
The original copy of the SAE Report Form and the fax confirmation sheet must be kept with 
the source documentation at the study site. Follow-up information should be provided using a 
new paper SAE Report Form stating that this is a follow-up to a previously reported SAE.
SAEs (initial and follow-up) that are recorded electronically in the Electronic Data Capture 
system should be entered, saved and e-signed within 24 hours of awareness of the SAE or 
changes to an existing SAE. These data will automatically be submitted to Novartis Drug Safety 
& Epidemiology immediately after investigator signature or 24 hours after entry, whichever 
occurs first. Study site personnel must also inform the Clinical Trial Leader.
Follow- up information provided should describe whether the event has resolved or continues, 
if and how it was treated, whether the treatment code was broken or not and whether the subject
continued or withdrew from study participation. Each re-occurrence, complication, or 
progression of the original event should be reported as a follow-up to that event regardless of 
when it occurs.
If the SAE is not previously documented in the Investigator’s Brochure or Package Insert 
(new occurrence) and is thought to be related to the investigational treatment a Drug Safety and 
Epidemiology Department associate may urgently require further information from the 
investigator for Health Authority reporting. Novartis may need to issue an Investigator 
Notification (IN) to inform all investigators involved in any study with the same investigational 
treatment that this SAE has been reported. Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions 
(SUSARs) will be collected and reported to the competent authorities and relevant ethics 
committees in accordance with EU Guidance 2011/C 172/01 or as per national regulatory 
requirements in participating countries.

Liver safety monitoring
To ensure subject safety and enhance reliability in determining the hepatotoxic potential of an 
investigational drug, a standardized process for identification, monitoring and evaluation of 
liver events has to be followed. 
The following two categories of abnormalities / adverse events have to be considered during 
the course of the study:

Liver laboratory triggers, which will require repeated assessments of the abnormal 
laboratory parameter

Liver events, which will require close observation, follow-up monitoring and 
completion of the standard base liver CRF pages
Please refer to Table 9-1 and Table 9-2 for complete definitions of liver laboratory triggers and 
liver events.
Every liver laboratory trigger or liver event should be followed up by the investigator or 
designated personal at the trial site, as summarized below and detailed in Table 9-2.
For the liver laboratory trigger:

Repeating the LFT within the next week to confirm elevation
These LFT repeats should be performed using the central laboratory if possible. If this is not 
possible, then the repeats can be performed at a local laboratory to monitor the safety of the 
patient. Repeats laboratory should then be performed at central laboratory as soon as possible. 
If a liver event is subsequently reported, any local LFTs previously conducted that are 
associated with this event should be reported on the Liver CRF pages.
For the liver events:

Repeating the LFT to confirm elevation as appropriate

Discontinuation of the investigational drug (refer to Section 7.1, if appropriate

Hospitalization of the subject if appropriate

A causality assessment of the liver event via exclusion of alternative causes 
(e.g. disease, co-medications)

An investigation of the liver event which needs to be followed until resolution

These investigations can include serology tests, imaging and pathology assessments, 
hepatologist’s consultancy, based on investigator’s discretion. All follow-up information, and 
the procedures performed should be recorded as appropriate in the CRF, including the liver 
event overview CRF pages.

Pregnancy reporting
To ensure patient safety, each pregnancy in a subject on study drug must be reported to Novartis 
within 24 hours of learning of its occurrence. The pregnancy should be followed up to determine 
outcome, including spontaneous or voluntary termination, details of the birth, and the presence 
or absence of any birth defects, congenital abnormalities, or maternal and/or newborn 
complications. The study drug must be discontinued, though the subject may stay in the study, 
if she wishes to do so. All assessments that are considered as a risk during pregnancy must not 
be performed. The subject may continue all other protocol assessments. Pregnancy must be 
recorded on a Pharmacovigilance Pregnancy Form and reported by the investigator to the local 
Novartis Drug Safety and Epidemiology Department. Pregnancy follow-up should be recorded 
on the same form and should include an assessment of the possible relationship to the Novartis 
study drug of any pregnancy outcome. Any SAE experienced during pregnancy must be 
reported on an SAE Report Form.
9.6
Early phase safety monitoring
The Investigator will monitor adverse events in an ongoing manner and inform the Sponsor of 
any clinically relevant observations. Any required safety reviews will be made jointly between 
medically qualified personnel representing the Sponsor and Investigator. Such evaluations may 
occur verbally, but the outcome and key discussion points will be summarized in writing (e-mail) 
and made available to both Sponsor and all Investigator(s). Criteria pertaining to stopping the 
study/treatment or adapting the study design are presented above.
The Sponsor will advise all the participating the Investigators at all sites in writing (e-mail) (and 
by telephone if possible) of any new, clinically relevant safety information reported from 
another site during the conduct of the study in a timely manner.

Data review and database management
10.1
Site monitoring
Before study initiation, at a site initiation visit or at an investigator’s meeting, a Novartis 
representative will review the protocol and CRFs with the investigators and their staff. 
During the study Novartis employs several methods of ensuring protocol and GCP compliance 
and the quality/integrity of the sites’ data. The monitor will visit the site to check the 
completeness of subject records, the accuracy of entries on the CRFs, the adherence to the 
protocol and to Good Clinical Practice, the progress of enrollment, and to ensure that study drug 
is being stored, dispensed, and accounted for according to specifications. Key study personnel 
must be available to assist the monitor during these visits.
Continuous remote monitoring of each site’s data may be performed by Novartis. Additionally, a 
central analytics organization may analyse data & identify risks & trends for site operational 
parameters, and provide reports to Novartis Clinical Teams to assist with trial oversight.
The investigator must maintain source documents for each subject in the study, consisting of 
case and visit notes (hospital or clinic medical records) containing demographic and medical 
information, laboratory data, electrocardiograms, and the results of any other tests or 

Novartis

assessments. All information on CRFs must be traceable to these source documents in the 
subject's file. The investigator must also keep the original informed consent form signed by the 
subject (a signed copy is given to the subject).
The investigator must give the monitor access to all relevant source documents to confirm their 
consistency with the CRF entries. Novartis monitoring standards require full verification for the 
presence of informed consent, adherence to the eligibility criteria, documentation of SAEs, and 
the recording of data that will be used for all primary and safety variables. Additional checks 
of the consistency of the source data with the CRFs are performed according to the study-
specific monitoring plan. No information in source documents about the identity of the subjects 
will be disclosed.
10.2
Data collection
Designated investigator staff will enter the data required by the protocol into the Electronic 
Case Report Forms using fully validated software that conforms to 21 CFR Part 11 
requirements. Designated investigator site staff will not be given access to the EDC system until 
they have been trained. Automatic validation programs check for data discrepancies and, by 
generating appropriate error messages, allow the data to be confirmed or corrected before 
transfer of the data to the CRO working on behalf of Novartis. The Investigator must certify 
that the data entered into the Electronic Case Report Forms are complete and accurate. 
After database lock, the investigator will receive a CD-ROM or paper copies of the subject data 
for archiving at the investigational site.
Data not requiring a separate written record will be defined in the Site Operations Manual and 
Assessment schedule and can be recorded directly on the CRFs. All other data captured for this 
study will have an external originating source (either written or electronic) with the CRF not 
being considered as source.
All data should be recorded, handled and stored in a way that allows its accurate reporting, 
interpretation and verification.
CRO staff working on behalf of Novartis review the data entered into the eCRFs by 
investigational staff for completeness and accuracy and instruct the site personnel to make any 
required corrections or additions. Queries are sent to the investigational site using an electronic 
data query. Designated investigator site staff is required to respond to the query and confirm or 
correct the data. If the electronic query system is not used, a paper Data Query Form will be 
faxed to the site. Site personnel will complete and sign the faxed copy and fax it back to the 
CRO working on behalf of Novartis who will make the correction to the database.
Concomitant medications entered into the database will be coded using the WHO Drug 
Reference List, which employs the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification system. 
Medical history/current medical conditions and adverse events will be coded using the Medical 
dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA) terminology.
Laboratory samples will be processed centrally and the results will be sent electronically to 
Novartis (or a designated CRO).

Analysis of the primary variable(s)
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of LFG316 on the reduction of 
intravascular hemolysis in PNH patients as assessed by reduction in serum LDH levels after the 
first 4 weeks of treatment and during the entire treatment period.
11.4.1
Variable(s)
The primary efficacy variable for assessing the effect of LFG316 over the first 4 weeks of 
treatment is response rate where a patient will be considered a responder if the percentage 
reduction from baseline in serum LDH is at least 60% at any time up to and including week 4
for that patient.
The primary efficacy variable for assessing the effect of LFG316 over the entire treatment 
period is the actual serum LDH value measured at multiple time points during the study.
11.4.2
Statistical model, hypothesis, and method of analysis
Proof of concept will be based on LDH levels during the first four weeks. A positive sign of 
efficacy is when:

The estimated median response rate is at least 50%
For the analysis of serum LDH values from multiple time points, a longitudinal model analysis 
of log-transformed LDH levels over time pre- and post-treatment will also be performed.
Longitudinal modelling will include individual and treatment average graphical presentations 
over time incorporating any historical LDH data collected so as to better put post-treatment 
changes in context. 
11.4.3
Handling of missing values/censoring/discontinuations
The study aims to replace subjects enrolled before protocol amendment 5 who discontinue 
before the end of period 1 for reasons other than safety and the primary responder analysis will 
be based on period 1 completers only, in a per protocol fashion.
Further longitudinal model analyses performed to assess the effect of missing data on the 
conclusions drawn from the primary analysis will include, if available, data from any subjects 
who discontinued early. Lack of efficacy will not be considered a missing value. Even if 
treatment is discontinued, LDH values should still be assessed in the eight-week follow-up 
period.

Supportive analyses
For comparison with the Bayesian analysis above, supportive analyses are in the frequentist 
paradigm giving the possibility of incorporating meaningful prognostic characteristics, such as 
being carriers or not of the minor allelic variant of C5, in modelling the response rate as binary 
data in logit models.
Alternative longitudinal model analyses of log-transformed LDH levels over time pre- and 
post-treatment may also be performed, to assess the sensitivity of the primary analysis to 
missing data, any deviations from assumptions, and to also assess the impact of prognostic 
factors on conclusions. 
Additionally serum LDH at each timepoint will also be summarized in terms of the number and 
percentage of patients achieving a reduction in LDH to within the normal limits.
11.5
Analysis of secondary 
 variables
The analysis of the two secondary endpoints of standard safety monitoring with increased 
vigilance for infections and measurement of serum concentrations of LFG316 are covered in 
Section 9.1 (adverse events) and Section 8.5 (pharmacokinetics) respectively. There will be no 
adjustment for multiplicity over the three main analyses of efficacy (primary), safety and PK 
(both secondary).
11.5.1
Efficacy / 
The analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint of reduction in LDH is described above in

Adverse events
All information obtained on adverse events will be displayed as summary and by subject as per 
the secondary objective.
The number and percentage of subjects with adverse events will be tabulated by body system 
and preferred term. A subject with multiple adverse events within a body system is only counted 
once towards the total of this body system.
As this study has four treatment periods an adverse event starting in period 1 and continuing 
into the next period is counted only in the period 1. A subject with multiple adverse events 
within a body system and treatment period is only counted once towards the total of this body 
system and treatment period. There will be three summaries of AEs, at the end of treatment 
period 1; periods 2 and 3 combined; and period 4.
Vital signs
All vital signs data will be listed by subject and visit/time and if ranges are available 
abnormalities (and relevant orthostatic changes) will be flagged. Summary statistics will be 
provided by visit/time.
ECG evaluations
All ECG data will be listed by subject and visit/time, and abnormalities will be flagged. 
Summary statistics will be provided by visit/time.
Clinical laboratory evaluations
All laboratory data will be listed by subject and visit/time and if normal ranges are available 
abnormalities will be flagged. Summary statistics will be provided by visit/time.

Pharmacokinetics
Total LFG316 concentration data will be listed by subject, and visit/sampling time point. 
Descriptive summary statistics will be provided by visit/sampling time point, 
Summary statistics will include mean (arithmetic and geometric), SD, CV (arithmetic and 
geometric), median, minimum and maximum. An exception to this is Tmax where median, 
minimum and maximum will be presented.
Pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated as described 
in Section 8.5 and will be listed by subject.

Sample size calculation
The sample size text below still applies following amendment 6, as the potential increase in 
number of patients treated is not so much to increase power of the study but to provide a 
treatment option for C5 variant PNH patients without an alternative. Notwithstanding that, if 
further patients are recruited then overall power will increase and the calculations below may 
then also be applicable to C5-variant patients only. If no further patients are recruited, the below 
text remains valid.

Ethical considerations
12.1
Regulatory and ethical compliance
This clinical study was designed and shall be implemented and reported in accordance with the 
ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, with applicable local 
regulations (including European Directive 2001/20/EC, US Code of Federal Regulations Title 
21, and Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare), and with the ethical principles laid 
down in the Declaration of Helsinki.
12.2
Responsibilities of the investigator and IRB/IEC
Before initiating a trial, the investigator/institution should obtain approval/favorable opinion 
from the Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC) for the trial 
protocol, written informed consent form, consent form updates, subject recruitment procedures 
(e.g. advertisements) and any other written information to be provided to subjects. Prior to study 
start, the investigator is required to sign a protocol signature page confirming his/her agreement 
to conduct the study in accordance with these documents and all of the instructions and 
procedures found in this protocol and to give access to all relevant data and records to Novartis 
monitors, auditors, Novartis Quality Assurance representatives, designated agents of Novartis, 
IRBs/IECs, and regulatory authorities as required. If an inspection of the clinical site is 
requested by a regulatory authority, the investigator must inform Novartis immediately that this 
request has been made.
For multi-center trials, a Coordinating Investigator will be selected by Novartis around the time 
of Last Patient Last Visit to be a reviewer and signatory for the clinical study report.

Publication of study protocol and results
Novartis assures that the key design elements of this protocol will be posted in a publicly 
accessible database such as clinicaltrials.gov. In addition, upon study completion and 
finalization of the study report the results of this trial will be either submitted for publication 
(e.g. peer-reviewed journal) and/or posted in a publicly accessible database of clinical trial 
results.
13
Protocol adherence
This protocol defines the study objectives, the study procedures and the data to be collected on 
study patients. Additional assessments required to ensure safety of subjects should be 
administered as deemed necessary on a case by case basis. Under no circumstances should an 
investigator collect additional data or conduct any additional procedures for any research related 
purpose involving any investigational drugs.
Investigators must apply due diligence to avoid protocol deviations. If the investigator feels a 
protocol deviation would improve the conduct of the study this must be considered a protocol 
amendment, and unless such an amendment is agreed upon by Novartis and approved by the 
IRB/IEC/REB it cannot be implemented. All significant protocol deviations will be recorded 
and reported in the CSR.
13.1
Protocol Amendments
Any change or addition to the protocol can only be made in a written protocol amendment that 
must be approved by Novartis, Health Authorities where required, and the IRB/IEC prior to 
implementation.
Only amendments that are intended to eliminate an apparent immediate hazard to subjects may 
be implemented, provided the Health Authorities and the reviewing IRB/IEC are subsequently
notified by protocol amendment.
Notwithstanding the need for approval of formal protocol amendments, the investigator is 
expected to take any immediate action required for the safety of any subject included in this 
study, even if this action represents a deviation from the protocol. In such cases, the CTL should 
be informed and (serious) adverse event reporting requirements (Section 9) followed as 
appropriate.
