On December 15th, Apellis Pharmaceuticals and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (SOBI) jointly announced that the European Commission has approved Aspaveli (pegcetacoplan) for the treatment of episodes of anemia after receiving complement C5 inhibitors for at least 3 months.
Pegcetacoplan is the first and only therapy targeting complement C3 to receive regulatory approval
Pegcetacoplan represents the first new category of complement drugs approved by the regulatory authorities in more than a decade, and has the potential to improve the standard of care for PNH patients
PNH is a rare, chronic, and life-threatening blood disease.
This approval is based on the results of the head-to-head phase 3 study of PEGASUS
Pegcetacoplan is a targeted complement C3 inhibitor, C3 is the upstream signaling molecule of C5
Soliris and Ultomiris are two complement C5 inhibitors sold by Alexion.
In December 2020, AstraZeneca announced that it would acquire Alexion for $39 billion in cash and stock
