Summary: A parent is requesting that the FDA not withdraw the approval of TAVNEOS (Avacopan). They argue that the medication has been life-saving for their daughter and would be a significant regression to use steroids instead.
Please please do not remove TAVNEOS from the approved drug list. This drug has saved my daughter’s life. She has been taking Avacopan for 3 years and her life would not be the same without it. She was severely ill and it made all the difference. She has zero side effects from the drug and her kidney function is monitored on a very regular basis. Her life would be drastically different if she had to go back to steroids. Please consider the lives that Avacopan is making a difference in.
