Introducing RA101495: A Novel Subcutaneously-Administered Peptide Inhibitor of C5 for PNH Blocks C5 cleavage and production of C5a and C5b Phase 1 data in healthy volunteers shows rapid, complete, and sustained inhibition of ex vivo hemolysis Distinct from eculizumab binding site allows treatment of patients with R885H/C mutations Blocks interaction of C5b with C6 to prevent MAC assembly May be beneficial in hypercoagulative states where thrombin or other proteases can cleave C5 Administered by subcutaneous self-injection Potential for increased convenience, freedom, and flexibility for patients RA101495 binds in this region Eculizumab binding (yellow)  R885H polymorphism: Eculizumab resistance (red) 2
