The purpose of this open-label, single arm, multicenter, phase 3 study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of iptacopan in pediatric patients and to assess whether iptacopan is safe and well tolerated when used for the treatment of pediatric paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) patients 2 to \< 18 years of age.
This is a multicenter, open-label, single arm study comprised of an up to a 8-week Screening Period, and a 26-week Treatment Period followed by a 26-week Extension Treatment Period. This study will enroll a minimum of 12 pediatric patients 2 to \< 18 years of age in a staggered manner into 3 cohorts: Cohort 1 (adolescents 12 to \< 18 years of age, approximately 6 patients), Cohort 2a (6 to \< 12 years of age, approximately 4 patients), and Cohort 2b (2 to \< 6 years of age, approximately 2 patients).

Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Incidence and severity of AEs and SAEs by treatment group, including changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and laboratory results qualifying and reported as AEs.
Time frame: 26 weeks
PK parameter (Cmax)
Cmax is defined as the maximum (peak) observed concentration following a dose.
Time frame: Week 2
PK parameter (AUClast)
AUClast is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of last quantifiable concentration (tlast).
Time frame: Week 2
PK parameter (AUCtau)
AUCtau describes the area under the curve limited to the end of a dosing interval.
Time frame: Week 2
PK parameter (Ctrough)
Ctrough is the observed plasma concentration that is just prior to the beginning of, or at the end of a dosing interval.
Time frame: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 26
Change in hemoglobin (Hb) from baseline ≥1 g/dL (in the absence of RBC transfusions from Day 14).
To evaluate the proportion of patients who achieve an increase in hemoglobin levels from baseline of ≥ 1 g/dL at 26 weeks and at 52 weeks (in the absence of RBC transfusions from Day 14 until the end of the 26-week and 52-week treatment periods).
Time frame: Baseline, Week 26, Week 52
Change in Hb from baseline ≥2 g/dL (in the absence of RBC transfusions from Day 14).
To evaluate the proportion of patients who achieve an increase in hemoglobin levels from baseline of ≥ 2 g/dL at 26 weeks and at 52 weeks (in the absence of RBC transfusions from Day 14 until the end of the 26-week and 52-week treatment periods).

Time frame: Baseline, Week 26, Week 52
Normal Hb in the absence of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions from Day 14.
To evaluate the proportion of participants achieving hemoglobin normalization at 26 weeks and at 52 weeks (in the absence of RBC transfusions from Day 14 until the end of the 26-week and 52-week treatment periods).
Time frame: Week 26 and Week 52
Absence of packed-RBC transfusions and not meeting transfusion criteria from Day 14 at Week 26 and Week 52
To evaluate transfusion avoidance as the proportion of participants who remain free from transfusions and do not meet transfusion criteria from Day 14 until the end of the 26-week treatment period and until the end of the 52-week treatment period.
Time frame: Week 26 and Week 52
Change from baseline in hemoglobin
To evaluate mean changes from baseline in hemoglobin at 26 weeks and at 52 weeks (evaluation of naive patients and prior anti-C5 treated patients, separately).
Time frame: Baseline, Week 26, Week 52
Change from baseline in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
To evaluate mean changes from baseline in LDH at 26 weeks and at 52 weeks (evaluation of naive patients and prior anti-C5 treated patients, separately).
