SYFOVRE (pegcetacoplan)

Complement Inhibitors
Ophthalmology Approved 2023-02-17

Syfovre treats geographic atrophy, a condition that develops in patients with age-related macular degeneration. This medication helps patients with this advanced form of eye disease by functioning as a complement inhibitor. It is used to address the specific biological pathways that contribute to the progression of retinal damage.

How SYFOVRE Works

This medication works by binding with high affinity to the complement protein C3 and its activation fragment, C3b. This binding regulates the cleavage of C3 and the subsequent generation of downstream effectors of complement activation. By controlling these specific immune proteins, the drug helps manage the biological activity associated with the condition.
