Pegcetacoplan is in clinical development for the treatment of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a form of motor neurone disease. ALS is a progressive disease where the nerve cells responsible for sending instructions to the muscles gradually deteriorate, leading to weakness, muscle wasting and paralysis. ALS is a debilitating and life-threatening disease. Currently, there is no cure for ALS and few treatments available, none of which have a profound effect on survival.
