“For nine months, Justice was a growing and healthy boy with overflowing amounts of energy. But then one day I 

went to pick him up and he was limp … the days that followed in the hospital were intense, and we were so afraid for 

our son. I vividly recall the doctor sitting us down and telling us Justice has atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. We 

were overwhelmed and panicked. But then we learned there is a treatment called Soliris, which gave us hope.”

extreme fatigue and debilitating pain. I was terrified that I would not be able to work or even take care of my

Today I am still taking Soliris, and 2013 was a great year — I got married and proudly watched my son graduate

In 2013, we made significant progress across all of 

preliminary interim data from an open-label, single-arm,

multicenter Phase 2 trial of eculizumab in sensitized 

programs and strengthen our early-stage research,

we remain focused exclusively on delivering life-

expanded deceased-donor AMR study. 

Eculizumab: Growing Our Portfolio 

with New Indications

As we build on the strong, long-term safety and efficacy 

profile of Soliris in PNH and aHUS, we are investigating 

eculizumab in other severe and rare complement-

mediated disorders. Two of these programs are in the 

kidney transplant setting: antibody-mediated rejection 

(AMR) and delayed graft function (DGF). Acute AMR 

can lead to severe damage to the transplanted kidney, 

resulting in rapid loss of function and possible loss of the 

organ, which makes the risk of AMR a significant clinical 

barrier to transplantation in many patients. Research 

suggests that uncontrolled activation of complement, 

triggered by the binding of donor-specific antibodies 

DGF is an early and serious complication of organ 

transplantation that is characterized by the failure of 

a transplanted organ to function normally immediately 

following transplantation. In patients undergoing a 

kidney transplant, DGF leads to the patient requiring 

dialysis in order to survive. There is currently no approved 

therapy to prevent DGF in kidney transplant recipients. 

In addition, a significant number of donor kidneys are 

reportedly discarded each year due to the risk of DGF and 

its associated poor clinical outcomes. Following positive 

discussions with regulatory authorities in 2013, we are 

preparing to conduct a single registration trial in DGF, 

and in January 2014, the FDA granted an orphan drug 

designation to eculizumab for prevention of DGF.

helpless because there was nothing I could do to alleviate the pain, and I wondered what was around the corner 

for us if it was already this bad. Hearing the diagnosis of hypophosphatasia was devastating because at first we

Asfotase Alfa: Preparing to

These guiding principles are clearly illustrated in our 

asfotase alfa development program for patients with 

HPP, a chronic, life-threatening, genetic and ultra-rare 

metabolic disease that leads to progressive damage to 

multiple vital organs, destruction and deformity of bones 

and, in too many cases, premature death. Asfotase alfa is

Other Highly Innovative Therapeutic Candidates

Beyond eculizumab and asfotase alfa, our research and 

development programs include additional compounds 

with breakthrough potential. In the metabolic disease 

area, we continue to accelerate development of our 

cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP) replacement 

therapy for the treatment of molybdenum cofactor
