Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include males and females of any age diagnosed with aHUS, regardless of whether they have an identified complement pathogenic variant.

Probably not a fit

Patients with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome solely due to Shiga Toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) may not benefit from this registry.

What this trial studies

This registry collects post-marketing safety data on patients diagnosed with Atypical Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) who are treated with eculizumab or ravulizumab, as well as those who are untreated. The study aims to gather comprehensive information on the progression of the disease in all enrolled patients, regardless of their treatment status. By documenting patient outcomes and safety data, the registry seeks to enhance understanding of aHUS and improve future treatment strategies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could provide valuable insights into the safety and efficacy of treatments for aHUS, ultimately leading to better patient management.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have successfully utilized registries to gather safety and efficacy data for rare diseases, indicating that this approach is both valid and beneficial.
