Soliris®
Understanding Soliris®
Soliris® (eculizumab) is a monoclonal antibody used to treat rare and serious autoimmune disorders by blocking a part of the immune system known as the complement system. Specifically, Soliris® inhibits the C5 protein, preventing excessive immune attacks that can lead to severe inflammation and tissue damage. By reducing these harmful immune responses, Soliris® helps alleviate symptoms, prevent relapses, and improve quality of life in patients with these conditions.
How Soliris® Works:
- Inhibits the C5 complement protein to prevent immune overactivation.
- Reduces inflammation and protects red blood cells, nerves, and blood vessels in affected conditions.
- Prevents relapses and disease progression in autoimmune disorders.
FDA Approvals:
- Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH): Approved in 2007
- Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS): Approved in 2011
- Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG): Approved in 2017
- Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD): Approved in 2019
