Individual has been immunized with a meningococcal vaccine at least two weeks prior to administration of the first dose of (unless the clinical record documents that the risks of delaying outweigh the risk of meningococcal infection) AND C. There is no evidence of an active meningococcal infection AND D. Either of the following criteria i or ii are met: i. The individual has: 1. Had at least four transfusions in the last 12 months OR HT MHS
2 Page 2 ii. 2. At least one transfusion in the past two years for anemia or anemia-related symptoms or personal beliefs that preclude transfusions 3. Hemoglobin is less than or equal to 7 g/dl, or the individual has symptoms of anemia and the hemoglobin is less than or equal to 9 g/dl AND 4. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is 1.5 times the upper limit of normal OR Documented history of a major adverse vascular event (MAVE) from thromboembolism II. is medically necessary in an initial six week trial for the treatment of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (ahus) when the following criteria are met: A. The diagnosis of ahus is supported by the absence of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli infection AND B. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) has been ruled out (for example, normal ADAMTS 13 activity and no evidence of an ADAMTS 13 inhibitor), or if TTP cannot be ruled out by laboratory and clinical evaluation, a trial of plasma exchange did not result in clinical improvement AND C. Individual has been immunized with a meningococcal vaccine at least two weeks prior to administration of the first dose of (unless the clinical record documents that the risks of delaying outweigh the risk of meningococcal infection) AND D. There is NO evidence of an active meningococcal infection III. Continuation of eculizumab following an initial six week trial for the treatment of ahus is medically necessary when there is clinical improvement after the initial trial (for example, increased platelet count or laboratory evidence of reduced hemolysis) IV. is considered investigational and is not medically necessary when the criteria above are not met and for all other indications, including but not limited to treatment of: A. Antibody mediated rejection in organ transplantation B. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) vasculitis C. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome D. Dense deposit disease or C3 nephropathy E.

The most current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations should be complied with in respect to meningococcal vaccination in individuals with complement deficiencies. Soliris is available only through a restricted Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program VI.
