Presentations include complete Phase III results from the SAkuraStar study investigating satralizumab for the treatment of
neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and new multiple sclerosis (MS) research, which provides insights into disease progression, including data from OCREVUS[R] (ocrelizumab) trials that advance understanding of neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels as a potential biomarker for predicting disability outcomes.
Subgroup analyses from the Phase 3 PREVENT study in patients with aquaporin-4 antibody-positive
neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
As the global leader in complement biology and inhibition for more than 20 years, Alexion has developed and commercializes two approved complement inhibitors to treat patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), as well as the first and only approved complement inhibitor to treat atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), anti-acetylcholine receptor (AchR) antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) and
neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).
In the US, Soliris is also approved for the treatment of generalised MG in adult patients who are anti-AchR antibody positive and for the treatment of
neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in adult patients who are anti-AQP4 antibody positive, in the EU as the first and only treatment of refractory gMG in adults who are anti-AchR antibody positive, and in Japan for the treatment of patients with gMG who are anti-AChR antibody positive and whose symptoms are difficult to control with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy or plasmapheresis.
