This is a Phase II, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of NM8074 administered intravenously to adult patients with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH).
The proposed study will enroll a planned number of 12 treatment naïve PNH patients with amaximum of 18 PNH patients who have been diagnosed with hemolytic anemia and meet the inclusion criteria. There will be 2 cohorts with 6 to 9 patients each. Patients in Cohort 1 will be administered NM8074 at 20 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every 2 weeks over the treatment period. Cohort 2 patients will be administered a dose of 10 mg/kg NM8074 weekly for 4 weeks followed by a 20 mg/kg dose of NM8074 administered via IV every 2 weeks for the remainder of the treatment period. This study will determine if NM8074 will provide the desired inhibition of the alternative pathway (AP).

Monitoring of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Adverse events will be graded according to the CTCAE v4.03. If the AE term is not described in the grading scales, the AE severity shall be reported according to the following: Grade I: Mild (awareness of sign or symptom, but easily tolerated) Grade II: Moderate (discomfort sufficient to cause interference with normal activities) Grade III: Severe (incapacitating, with inability to perform normal activities) Grade IV: Life threatening Grade V: Fatal

Change from Baseline or Percent Change from Baseline in Quality of Life (QoL) Survey Assessed via the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale, Version 4.
The FACIT-fatigue scale is a 13-item patient-reported measure of fatigue with a 7-day recall period. Items are scored on a 0 - 4 response scale ranging from "Not at all" to "Very much so". All items are summed to create a single fatigue score with a range from 0 to 52 with a better quality of life indicated by a higher score.

Change from Baseline or Percent Change from Baseline in Quality of Life (QoL) Survey Assessed via the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 Scale (QLQ- C30), Version 3.0.
All EORTC QLQ-C30 scales and single-item measures range from 0 to 100. This includes 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting), 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), single-item questions addressing symptoms like insomnia, dyspnea, loss of appetite, and others that are commonly reported by cancer patients, and the perceived financial impact of the disease. A higher score is associated with a greater quality of life for global health status.
