Basel, 27 August 2024 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today that the European Commission has approved PiaSky® (crovalimab), a novel recycling monoclonal antibody that inhibits the complement protein C5, for adults and adolescents (12 years of age or older with a weight of 40 kg and above) with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) who are either new to, or have been previously treated with C5 inhibitors. PNH is a rare and life-threatening blood condition where red blood cells are destroyed by the complement system – part of the innate immune system – causing symptoms such as anaemia, fatigue and blood clots, and potentially leading to kidney disease.4
