Danicopan, sold under the brand name Voydeya, is a medication used for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.[2] It is a complement inhibitor which reversibly binds to factor D to prevent alternative pathway-mediated hemolysis and deposition of complement C3 proteins on red blood cells.[2]

Danicopan was approved for medical use in Japan in January 2024,[3] and in the United States in March 2024.[4]

Medical uses

Danicopan is indicated as add-on therapy to ravulizumab or eculizumab for the treatment of extravascular hemolysis in adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.[1][2]
