Identification

Generic Name
APL-9
DrugBank Accession Number
DB16460
Background

APL-9 is an investigational drug intended to centrally control the complement cascade at C3, potentially treating various diseases caused by excessive or uncontrolled complement activation. It shares the same mechanism of action as Apellis’ lead compound, pegcetacoplan (APL-2), but with a lower molecular weight and shorter half-life. APL-9 is designed for intravenous administration for acute use
