Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Analyst Notes
On May 5, 2014, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Alexion) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Company's supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) providing regular approval for Soliris® (eculizumab).

Commenting on the development, Leonard Bell, CEO, Alexion said "We are pleased that, since 2011, the FDA's Accelerated Approval process has enabled us to provide Soliris to individuals whose lives have been at risk of the severe clinical manifestations of aHUS and who would otherwise have had no safe or effective treatment options."
