Alexion's Phase 3 study was for treatment for a blood disorder called paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. The company said Thursday the treatment--known as ALXN1210--was generally well tolerated and that its safety profile was similar to Soliris, the treatment for PNH also from Alexion that the company was determining whether it could switch patients from.
