Vaccinate patients with a meningococcal vaccine at least 2 weeks prior to receiving the first dose of SOLIRIS Revaccinate according to current medical guidelines for vaccine use Monitor patients for early signs of meningococcal infections, evaluate immediately if infection is suspected, and treat with antibiotics if necessary SOLIRIS SmPC: SOLIRIS (eculizumab) summary of product characteristics.

61 Solirisin Korean PNH Patients Key Result: Efficacy of Soliris 1) 85% Reduction in the degree of hemolysis 2) Reduction in transfusion requirement 3) Improvement of clinical symptoms: The FACIT-Fatigue scores improved by a median of 8 points during the first 24 weeks of Soliristherapy. Kim JS et al. Korean J Hematol Dec;45(4):

62 SUMMARY Elevated hemolysis(ldh 1.5 ULN) at diagnosis and impaired renal function (IRF)increases the risk of thrombosis, and mortality among patients with PNH. The size of the PNH clone did not correlate with risk of thrombosis, and mortality. This highlights that clone size should just play a role in confirming diagnosis of PNH. The combination of elevated hemolysisand one or more of the clinical symptoms poses a much greater risk of a TE than any of the individual factors alone. 62

63 SUMMARY LDH, TE, IRF, Abd. pain, Chest pain and dyspneain PNH have a significantly increased mortality rate over the age and gender matched general population. Solirishas become the therapeutic gold-standard for hemolytic PNH patients and led to a major improvement in survival The decision to recommend the treatment option of PNH must take into account factors related both to PNH and to comorbid conditions. We are emphasizing the importance of patient selection in case of allo-sct. 63

64 Proposed guideline for PNH Management Risk factors of TE & Mortality Finding an evidence of TE LDH Fold 1.5 ; Hemolysis Full Clinical Assessment is critical Monitoring Renal function (Cr or egfr) PNH diagnosis confirmed via Flow cytometry; Clone size 10% Regardless clone size Asking Clinical Symptoms If experienced abdominal pain or Chest pain or Dyspnea Effective PNH treatment option is required in high risk patients 64
