- The US Food and Drug Administration has approved Ultomiris (ravulizumab-cwvz), the first and only long-acting C5 complement inhibitor administered every eight weeks, for the treatment of adult patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, a debilitating ultra-rare blood disorder characterized by complement-mediated destruction of the red blood cells (hemolysis), US-based Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Alexion Receives Early FDA Approval for Ultomiris in Adults with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
The product is a long-acting complement inhibitor that prevents hemolysis. The efficacy of the product was studied in a clinical trial of 246 patients who earlier had not been treated for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (treatment naive), and whom were randomised to be treated with Ultomiris or eculizumab - the current standard.
USFDA approves Ultomiris
It increases hemoglobin F concentrations, which decreases HgbS concentration and prevents HgbS polymerization, which in turn decreases RBC sickling and hemolysis. (1,5) Additional effects include inhibiting white blood cell and platelet production, which may ameliorate occlusive episodes.
