In this study, we collected real-world evidence on the use of pegcetacoplan among 22 Italian patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria showing suboptimal response to anti-C5 treatments eculizumab and ravulizumab. Most patients exhibited a complete or good response as per the criteria of the European Bone Marrow Transplant group (Risitano et al. Front Immunol 2019) and median haemoglobin improvement from baseline was +3.

In 2024, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended two new health technologies for paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria. This review systematically compares the clinical and cost-effectiveness evidence considered within the NICE single technology appraisals of iptacopan, danicopan and pegcetacoplan, examines the consistency of the clinical evidence and economic modelling, and considers whether single technology appraisals are a suitable apparatus for consistent decision making. The studies used different follow-up lengths and used different definitions for reporting breakthrough haemolysis (BTH), but otherwise reported similar outcomes and found a significant benefit for their interventions.

While several antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors have been approved for wet AMD, challenges persist with the need for frequent dosing.
