Overview
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of MY008211A compared to eculizumab in PNH patients.
Description
This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label, active comparator-controlled, parallel group study. The purpose of this study is to determine whether MY008211A compared to eculizumab is efficacious and safe for the treatment of PNH patients who were naive to complement inhibitor therapy.
