What medications can cure PNH?
Currently, there is no medication that can cure PNH. The only treatment with the potential to cure PNH is a bone marrow transplant (also called stem cell transplantation).
However, bone marrow transplant doesn't work for everyone and comes with serious health risks. Because of these risks, it's typically reserved only for people with severe or life-threatening PNH who haven't responded to other treatments.
While medications can't cure PNH, several effective treatments are available that can control the condition and help you live a normal life span. These include complement inhibitors such as:
- Eculizumab (Soliris)
- Ravulizumab (Ultomiris)
- Pegcetacoplan (Empaveli)
- Iptacopan (Fabhalta)
- Crovalimab (PiaSky)
These medications work by blocking your complement system, which prevents your immune system from attacking your red blood cells. With these treatments, many people with PNH can now expect to live as long as someone without the condition.
PNH is generally treated as a long-term condition that can be managed effectively with the right treatment plan.
