If more than 1 breakthrough event occurred per patient, this was indicated as a, event 1; b, event 2; and c, event 3.

LDH was not obtained on single-agent pegcetacoplan because of limited time on single-agent treatment.

Samples were hemolyzed. LDH before the event was normal and after the event was 1.1× ULN.
