Apellis Wins FDA Approval for EMPAVELI in Rare Kidney Diseases

Apellis Pharmaceuticals Inc. has received FDA approval for EMPAVELI® (pegcetacoplan) as the first treatment for C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) in patients aged 12 and older. The approval follows positive results from the Phase 3 VALIANT study, which demonstrated significant reductions in proteinuria, stabilization of kidney function, and substantial clearance of C3 deposits. In the European Union, Apellis' partner Sobi® anticipates an opinion from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use $(CHMP)$ before the end of the year.
