Study Description

The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan upon switching from anti-C5 antibody to iptacopan treatment in study participants with aHUS. The study is designed as a multicenter, single-arm, open label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan upon switching from anti-C5 antibody to iptacopan treatment in participants with aHUS. It consists of a screening period of up to 14 weeks followed by a 12-Month Core Treatment period and 12-Month Extension Treatment period.

The study will assess the effects of iptacopan on a range of efficacy assessments relevant to aHUS.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* Male and female adult participants ≥ 18 years of age with diagnosis of aHUS for whom etiologies of other types of TMA and non-aHUS kidney disease have been excluded.

•. Currently on the recommended (as per label) dosage regimen of anti-C5 antibody treatment, for at least 3 months prior to entering the screening period.
* In the opinion of the investigator the participant has responded to anti-C5 antibodytreatment prior to screening and has clinical evidence of response (in absence of PE/PI) during the Screening period.

Clinical evidence of response to anti-C5 antibody treatment (in absence of PE/PI) confirmed during the Screening period by central laboratory at two visits 12 weeks apart. Clinical evidence of response is defined as:

1. Hematological normalization in platelet count ≥150 x 10\^9/L and LDH below upper limit of normal \[ULN\], and
2. Stable kidney function as defined by serum creatinine values within ±15% during the Screening period

* Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae infections is required prior to the start of treatment with iptacopan.
* If not received previously or if a booster is required, vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae infection, should be given, if available and according to local regulations.

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of aHUS disease relapse while on anti-C5 antibody treatment.
* eGFR \< 30 ml/min/1.73m\^2
* Active infection or history of recurrent invasive infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, i.e., meningococcus, pneumococcus (eg., N. meningitidis, S. pneumoniae) or H. influenzae.
* Participants with sepsis or active systemic bacterial, viral (including COVID-19) or fungal infection within 14 days prior to study treatment administration.
* Kidney, bone marrow transplant (BMT)/hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), heart, lung, small bowel, pancreas, liver transplantation or any other cell or solid organ transplantation
* Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to conceive during the course of the study
