DOI: 10.1182/blood-2024-200838

Abstract: Introduction: There are now 6 FDA approved therapies for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). All are effective in controlling complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis (IVH) but associated with potential for breakthrough hemolysis (BTH). Differentiating pharmacokinetic (PK) from pharmacodynamic… read more here.
