Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and delivering life-transforming therapies for patients with severe and life-threatening diseases that are also ultra-rare. Patients with these devastating diseases often have no effective treatment options, and they and their families suffer with little hope.
Our first commercial product is Soliris® (eculizumab), the world's first and only approved terminal complement inhibitor. Today, Soliris is approved in nearly 50 countries as a treatment for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), and in the United States, European Union, Japan and other countries as a treatment for patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Both PNH and aHUS are life-threatening, ultra-rare diseases.
Alexion's metabolic franchise includes two highly innovative enzyme replacement therapies for patients with life-threatening and ultra-rare disorders: Strensiq® (asfotase alfa) is approved for patients with hypophosphatasia (HPP) and Kanuma® (sebelipase alfa) is approved for patients with lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D).Main EU files targeted
Alexion monitors and follows policy of relevance for the biopharmaceutical sector. It interacts with the EU institutions and engages in issues relating to healthcare, pharmaceuticals, patient safety, research and innovation, competitiveness and internal market.
