Iptacopan , sold under the brand name Fabhalta, is a medication used for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.[1] It is a complement factor B inhibitor that was developed by Novartis.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Iptacopan was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria in December 2023.[2][3] The FDA considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[4]

Medical uses

Iptacopan is indicated for the treatment of adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.[1][5]

Side effects

The FDA label for iptacopan contains a black box warning for the risk of serious and life-threatening infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae type B.[1]

Research

In a clinical study with twelve participants, iptacopan as a single drug led to the normalization of hemolytic markers in most patients, and no serious adverse events occurred during the 12-week study.[6][7]

Iptacopan is also investigated as a drug in other complement-mediated diseases, like age-related macular degeneration and some types of glomerulopathies.[8]
