Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming growing or coming back The use of eculizumab may prevent leukemia and stop the destruction of red blood cells in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying how well eculizumab works in treating patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the safety of eculizumab in patients with transfusion-dependent hemolytic paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
Determine the efficacy of this drug in terms of hemoglobin stabilization and the number of packed red blood cell units transfused during the 26-week treatment period in these patients

Secondary

Compare the occurrence of transfusion avoidance hemolysis measured by lactate dehydrogenase LDH area under the curve and the changes in fatigue during the 26-week treatment period in patients treated with this drug vs placebo
Compare LDH changes quality of life changes thrombosis platelet activity nitric oxide and free hemoglobin measures during the 26-week treatment period in patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter study Patients are stratified according to the number of packed red blood cell PRBC units transfused 1 year prior to screening 15 units vs 15-25 units vs 25 units Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Within 10 days after PRBC transfusion administered during the study observation period patients receive placebo IV over 30 minutes once a week for 5 weeks and then once every 2 weeks for 21 weeks
Arm II Within 10 days after PRBC transfusion administered during the study observation period patients receive eculizumab IV over 30 minutes once a week for 5 weeks and then once every 2 weeks for 21 weeks

Quality of life is assessed at baseline at weeks 0-4 12 20 and 26 during study treatment then at weeks 1 2 4 and 8 after completion of study treatment

After completion of study treatment patients are followed at weeks 1 2 4 and 8

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 75 patients 37 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
