Developed by UK pharma major AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN), Ultomiris (ravulizumab) has been approved in Europe for a new indication.

Last year, Ultomiris was approved in the European Union for expanded use to include children—with a body weight of 10kg or above—and adolescents with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and prior to that also for adults.
