About Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing life-transforming therapies for patients with severe and life-threatening diseases that are also ultra-rare and have no effective treatment options.Our first marketed product, Soliris® (eculizumab), is the world’s first and only approved terminal complement inhibitor. Soliris is approved in more than 40 countries as a treatment for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), and in the United States, European Union and Canada as a treatment for patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Both PNH and aHUS are life-threatening, ultra-rare diseases that are caused by chronic uncontrolled complement activation.
Alexion currently has nine lead development programs with Soliris and four other highly innovative therapeutic candidates for patients with life-threatening and ultra-rare disorders beyond PNH and aHUS. These include, asfotase alfa as a treatment for patients with hypophosphatasia and cPMP replacement therapy for newborns with molybdenum cofactor deficiency Type A.
