Q: Does Alexion have plans to launch additional treatments beyond Soliris?
A: Since our inception in 1992, Alexion has focused our research and development
programs on new approaches for treating serious and life-threatening diseases for
which current therapies are either non-existent or inadequate. Today, we have emerged
as a world leader in complement inhibition therapy and monoclonal antibodies.
Beyond the initial indication of Soliris® (eculizumab) as a treatment
for patients with PNH, we are working in partnership with investigators around the
world to explore the clinical benefits of this first-in-class complement inhibitor
as a treatment for several ultra-rare diseases, including kidney disorders, high-risk
kidney transplantation, hematologic and neurologic diseases. More than eight clinical
trials are planned or underway to explore Soliris for the treatment of at least
five other ultra-rare disorders. Alexion is also investigating its CD200 antibody
for the potential treatment of patients with
hematologic and solid-tumor cancers.
