Looking ahead, Apellis anticipates regulatory developments, including the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) review of the marketing authorization application (MAA) for SYFOVRE and the expected topline data from the Phase 3 VALIANT study of systemic pegcetacoplan in mid-2024. Financially robust, Apellis recently closed a $375 million funding deal with Sixth Street to buy out existing liabilities, significantly improving its liquidity profile and positioning the company for sustainable growth.
Apellis's commitment to advancing science is evident through its extensive pipeline and collaborations, such as its partnership with Sobi for systemic pegcetacoplan.
