How FABHALTA Works

Iptacopan binds to Factor B of the alternative complement pathway, proximally regulating the cleavage of C3 and the amplification of the terminal pathway. In PNH, this proximal inhibition allows for the control of both C3b-mediated extravascular hemolysis (EVH) and terminal complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis (IVH). In IgAN and C3G, Fabhalta inhibits the overactivation of the alternative pathway, reducing C3 deposition and the subsequent inflammatory processes that lead to glomerular damage and proteinuria.
