Products and Services

• Nomacopan - Akari’s flagship product candidate, nomacopan, stands as a beacon of hope for patients suffering from a variety of severe autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. This second-generation complement inhibitor is designed to halt the inflammatory and prothrombotic activities that are characteristic of disorders such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, Guillain-Barré syndrome, hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy, and bullous pemphigoid. By targeting the underlying mechanisms that drive these conditions, nomacopan could significantly improve the quality of life for those affected.
• PASylated-Nomacopan - In its relentless pursuit of innovation, Akari is also advancing a pre-clinical program focused on the development of a long-acting version of nomacopan. This PASylated-nomacopan variant is engineered to extend the molecule's half-life, thereby offering a potentially transformative treatment option for geographic atrophy secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration. This advancement underscores Akari’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of science to uncover new solutions for diseases with substantial unmet needs.
