Spherix Global Insights Highlights Patient Influence in Shaping PNH Treatment Choices

Ultomiris (AZ/Alexion) and Empaveli (Apellis) identified as driving greater PNH treatment flexibility and individualized care

EXTON, Pa., Sept. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spherix Global Insights today announced the latest quarterly update to its RealTime Dynamix™: Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) service, revealing how patient requests and physician perspectives are reshaping the treatment landscape. This update highlights both the growing influence of the patient voice in therapy selection and a shifting paradigm in clinical priorities toward quality of life.

Among surveyed hematologists (n=62), patient requests for specific therapies remain a notable driver of treatment discussions. Requests most frequently centered on Ultomiris (AZ/Alexion), Fabhalta (Novartis), Soliris (AZ/Alexion), Empaveli (Apellis), and emerging options such as Voydeya (AZ/Alexion) and PiaSky (Genentech/Roche). Physicians reported varying levels of success in prescribing these agents, with accessibility and appropriateness influencing whether patient requests could be fulfilled. These insights underscore the active role patients play in shaping care decisions and the importance of clear communication between patients and their providers.

Commenting on the broader landscape, a leading PNH KOL emphasized in conversation with Spherix that the next major paradigm shift in PNH will move beyond controlling disease markers to prioritizing the patient’s lived experience. “It’s not just controlling the disease, but the patient wants to feel well and the patient wants to feel normal. And this is where patients are striving, and this is where we need to get. For the first time, we can do that,” he noted, underscoring the increasing role of patient activation and community advocacy through societies and online groups.

The study findings suggest that as treatment choices expand, both patient advocacy and physician willingness to align with patient preferences will continue to accelerate adoption of new therapies. These dynamics reflect a maturing market in which efficacy and safety remain central, but the ultimate measure of success is increasingly patient-defined.
