The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Iptacopan as a second-line treatment for high-risk hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA). Iptacopan is a selective oral small-molecule complement factor B inhibitor. It acts by inhibiting factor B, blocking the formation of C3 convertase, reducing C3b deposition, thereby suppressing C5 convertase (C3bBbC3b) and ultimately decreasing the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC), which is expected to mitigate endothelial damage in TA-TMA pathology. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does Iptacopan improve 6-month overall survival in high-risk TA-TMA patients? * What adverse events do participants experience while taking Iptacopan? * Does Iptacopan provide hematological response and organ function recovery in TA-TMA patients? In this prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase II study, all participants will receive Iptacopan treatment. The primary endpoint of this study is the 6-month overall survival rate from TA-TMA diagnosis. Secondary endpoints include safety evaluation, hematological response, and organ function recovery. During the study, participants will: * Receive Iptacopan treatment according to protocol * Undergo regular assessments for safety and efficacy monitoring * Be followed for up to 24 months post-treatment initiation

Iptacopan will be administered under the supervision of hospital staff during inpatient stays or self-managed by patients in an outpatient setting. The induction phase lasts 4 weeks at a dosage of 200 mg twice daily (BID). Starting from Day 29, patients will enter the maintenance phase at a dosage of 200 mg once daily (QD), continuing until treatment completion at Week 12.

Six-month Overall Survival Rate Following TA-TMA Diagnosis
The primary endpoint is defined as the proportion of patients who remain alive at 6 months after the initial diagnosis of transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA). Survival status will be systematically assessed through follow-up visits, medical record review, or direct patient contact at the 6-month timepoint.
Time frame: From the date of TA-TMA diagnosis until 6 months post-diagnosis.
TA-TMA Complete Response Rate by Week 12 (Jodele Criteria)
Proportion of patients achieving complete response of TA-TMA according to Jodele criteria within 12 weeks of treatment initiation.
Time frame: 12 weeks from start of treatment.
TA-TMA Partial Response Rate by Week 12 (Jodele Criteria)
Proportion of patients achieving partial response of TA-TMA (defined as response between complete response and no response) within 12 weeks of treatment initiation.
Time frame: 12 weeks from start of treatment.
Overall Survival (OS)
Time from TA-TMA diagnosis to death from any cause.
Time frame: Up to 24 months from diagnosis.
Non-Relapse Mortality (NRM)
Time from TA-TMA diagnosis to death not attributable to hematologic disease relapse or progression.
Time frame: Up to 24 months from diagnosis.
Cumulative Incidence of Relapse (CIR)
Time from TA-TMA diagnosis to hematologic disease relapse or progression.
Time frame: Up to 24 months from diagnosis.
Mean Hemoglobin Change from Baseline
Change in mean hemoglobin level (g/dL) from baseline to specified time points
Time frame: Baseline to 12 weeks.
Exploratory Biomarker Analysis
Exploratory analysis of complement pathway biomarkers including C5b-9 (ng/mL) and Factor B (ng/mL) levels .
Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after treatment .
Failure-Free Survival (FFS)
Time (in days) from treatment initiation to first occurrence of TA-TMA response among responders.
Time frame: Up to 12 weeks from treatment initiation.
Incidence of Acute and Chronic GVHD
Incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease.
Time frame: Up to 24 months from treatment initiation.
Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) Involvement and Resolution
Assessment of MODS organ involvement and resolution status during treatment.
Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after treatment; thereafter, every three months until study completion
Safety and Tolerability Assessment
Frequency, duration, and severity of adverse events monitored through physical examinations and laboratory assessments, including infections and secondary primary malignancies. Adverse events will be graded according to CTCAE v4.03.
Time frame: From treatment initiation to 30 days after last dose.
