Active substance of BCD-148 is eculizumab - a monoclonal antibody that targets complement protein C5. Cycle 1 (induction therapy): 600 mg of eculizumab QW for the first four weeks; Cycle 2 (maintenance therapy): 900 mg of eculizumab at Week 5 and 900 mg of eculizumab every 14±2 days until Week 27 (inclusive) afterwards (dosing regimen for the main study period). QW - once weekly

Change in mean FACIT-Fatigue score
FACIT Fatigue Scale is a short, 13-item, easy to administer tool that measures an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. The level of fatigue is measured on a four point Likert scale (4 = not at all fatigued to 0 = very much fatigued)
Time frame: week 27, week 52
Change in mean EORTC QLQ-C30 score

EORTC QLQ-C30 is questionnaire developed to assess the quality of life. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. Higher score for the functioning scales and global health status denote a better level of functioning (i.e. a better state of the patient), while higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms (i.e. a worse state of the patient).
