Medical Uses
SYFOVRE (pegcetacoplan), from Apellis Pharmaceuticals, is indicated for the treatment of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Pegcetacoplan is a complement inhibitor that targets complement protein C3, blocking the complement cascade implicated in the progressive retinal cell damage of geographic atrophy — the first therapy shown to slow the growth of GA lesions.
