An abstract at ASH (registration required) indicates continuing very good results in PNH.


In summary, this study demonstrates that eculizumab is well tolerated, dramatically decreases hemolysis and transfusion requirement as well as improving the symptoms of PNH. The effectiveness of eculizumab has been maintained for a median of 12 months of therapy and is ongoing in all patients.
