This medicine is authorised for use in the European Union.

Overview

Aspaveli is a medicine to treat adults with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), a condition in which there is excessive breakdown of red blood cells (haemolysis), leading to large amounts of haemoglobin (the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body) being released into the urine. Aspaveli is used in patients who continue to have anaemia (low levels of red blood cells) despite treatment with a type of medicine called a C5 inhibitor for at least 3 months.

Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria is rare, and Aspaveli was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 22 May 2017.

Aspaveli contains the active substance pegcetacoplan.
