Alexion is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on serving patients and families affected by rare diseases through the discovery, development and commercialization of life-changing therapies.

Breakthrough Therapies

Through the transformative power of our science, Alexion has delivered life-changing ther-apies to patients suffering from rare diseases. We have pioneered the complex field of complement biology and delivered solutions to challenges that once seemed impossible for patients living with rare and devastating diseases.

Alexion has developed and delivered therapies for the treatment of complement-mediated diseases – two for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), and one for patients with anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) an-tibody positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and anti-acetylcholine receptor (AchR) antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).

Alexion also has two highly innovative enzyme replacement therapies for patients with life-threatening and ultra-rare metabolic disorders—hypophosphatasia (HPP) and lysosom-al acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D).
