Company Overview

Akari Therapeutics plc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The company’s research is focused on modulating the complement system and inflammatory pathways that contribute to tissue damage and disease progression.

Akari’s lead investigational product is nomacopan, a recombinant small protein originally derived from tick saliva. Nomacopan is designed to inhibit complement component C5 and leukotriene B4, two pathways involved in inflammation. The company is also developing PAS-nomacopan, a longer-acting formulation intended to extend treatment duration.

The company has investigated its therapies in conditions including pediatric hematopoietic stem-cell-transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy and bullous pemphigoid. Akari’s programs remain in clinical development, and its therapies have not been established as approved treatments for these indications.

Akari Therapeutics is headquartered in the United Kingdom and conducts its development activities through international clinical and research programs. The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Clive Richardson and is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol AKTX.
