Canada
Alexion is focused on providing innovative treatments to patients with severe and life-threatening rare diseases for which there are few, if any, effective treatment options. In 2009, Alexion began operations in Canada to serve patients locally. We aim to work in partnership with all stakeholders including healthcare providers, patient advocacy organizations and government in order to best serve patients. By expanding the knowledge and awareness of rare diseases, we help the medical community improve the process for diagnosis and treatment. Our goal is to bring hope to patients and families by delivering life-changing therapies.
In Canada, SOLIRIS® (eculizumab) has received marketing authorization from Health Canada for all patients with PNH. SOLIRIS is also approved by Health Canada as safe and effective for use in children and adults with atypical HUS to inhibit complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). More recently, SOLIRIS has also been approved by Health Canada for use in adult patients with generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG). To further advance the understanding of PNH and atypical HUS in the Canadian population, Alexion Canada sponsors disease registries that enroll treated and untreated patients who are diagnosed with these conditions. This is our commitment to ongoing research into the rare conditions that our therapies treat.
In addition, STRENSIQ® (asfotase alfa) is approved in Canada as an enzyme replacement therapy for patients with confirmed diagnosis of paediatric-onset hypophosphatasia under the Notice of Compliance with conditions (NOC/c) policy. In addition, KANUMA® (sebelipase alfa) is approved in Canada as an enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of infants, children and adults diagnosed with lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) deficiency, under the Notice of Compliance with conditions (NOC/c) policy.
