Apellis Pharmaceuticals is leading the way in advancing therapies across a broad range of complement-driven diseases, including the rare and progressive kidney diseases C3G and primary IC-MPGN.

Because transplantation does not target the complement overactivation that causes C3G and primary IC-MPGN, disease recurrence post transplant occurs in up to 89% of patients.

Visit Apellis at booth #714 at WTC 2025 to learn more.
