Annexon, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies that modulate the classical complement pathway, an immune system mechanism implicated in autoimmune and neuroinflammatory diseases. Its lead program, ANX1502, is an oral small-molecule inhibitor being studied in cold agglutinin disease and other complement-mediated autoimmune indications. The company was incorporated in 2011 and has remained in the research-and-development phase, with no approved products and no product revenue to date. Annexon’s business model is centered on advancing product candidates through clinical development and, if successful, eventually commercializing them directly or through partners.
