Soliris® (eculizumab) is given through an IV. In neurology it treats two conditions: generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in people 6 and older who are AChR antibody positive, and Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in adults who are AQP4 antibody positive. It also treats two blood conditions.
There is something important to know before you start. Soliris raises your risk of a serious infection called meningococcal disease. Because of that, you need certain vaccines at least two weeks before your first treatment, and Soliris is only available through a special safety program. Read the safety section below carefully — this is not fine print.
Soliris is given at our Infusion Therapy Center in Colorado | Advanced Neurology:
You need meningococcal vaccines finished at least 2 weeks before your first treatment. If you need to start sooner than that, your doctor will give you an antibiotic to take in the meantime and get you vaccinated as soon as possible. You will also carry a safety card so any doctor who treats you knows you are on this medicine.
Your immune system has a group of proteins called complement. They help you fight off germs. They work like a chain — one protein switches on the next, and so on down the line.
In myasthenia gravis and NMOSD, that chain gets switched on in the wrong place. Instead of attacking germs, it damages healthy tissue: the spot where your nerves meet your muscles in myasthenia gravis, or your optic nerves and spinal cord in NMOSD.
Soliris breaks the chain partway through.
Here is what it does:
If you have myasthenia gravis, many people notice their strength improving during those first few weeks of treatment.
If you have NMOSD, the goal is different. Soliris is there to stop attacks before they happen. Success looks like an attack you never had. That is harder to feel, but it matters — each NMOSD attack can cause damage that does not go away.

“Amazing. I have been with other Doctors at this practice as well but I had an amazing experience with Dr. Lackey specifically. Very attentive and friendly to work with! Highly recommend!”
"ANC runs like a well-oiled machine. Appointments start on time, and the staff remembers me every visit."
"Migraine magician - Botox + Nurtec combo cut my headache days from 25/month to 4. His headache diary app makes tracking effortless."
"I feel confident knowing I'm in capable hands and truly appreciate the thoughtful, attentive care Dr. Dasari provides. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking comprehensive and compassionate neurological care."
"Dr. Gilder has been my neurologist for going on 10 years now. She is incredibly knowledgeable in choosing a treatment plan that will work best. Most importantly, she listens and won't BS you when it comes to concerns she may have. All in all, you're in good hands by selecting Dr. Beverly Gilder as your specialist."
I have only visited Dr Lackey twice, however I feel totally comfortable with him. I was a little worried after being a regular patient of Dr Miller for years, but I feel very safe with him and his knowledge of MS. He is very thorough and personable and I look forward my next visit.
Dr. Elijah Lackey is an excellent neurologist and I was lucky enough to land as his patient after 2 almost back to back concussions. I'm grateful to have graduated neurology for the time being after a couple of visits. His friendly demeanor and knowledge calmed my worries and I certainly will not look elsewhere should I need further specialized neurological care.
Doctor Lackey took time out of his lunch to visit with us when we had to come back in because we had some questions. He is very personable, very helpful, has a great bedside manner, and seems genuinely concerned about his patients.
I felt heard with Dr. Lackey and appreciated how thorough he was in both explaining and showing me related details in my MRI. He answered all questions and made sure I knew the plan and next steps. Very grateful I was able to get in knowing wait times are long in NoCo in general for neuro. Thank you!
"Spotless floors, sanitizer everywhere, and masks required. Felt very safe."
Dr. Lackey was professional, warm and friendly. He was newly assigned to me. I met him for the first time after one prior phone call. He was familiar with my medical history. Dr. Lackey worked with me rather than just tell me what to do, and listened to my concerns. I found him to be knowledgeable and competent.
Dr. Lackey is the best. He takes time with me to explain everything and makes sure that my questions are answered. He’s a great listener and I feel very cared for by Dr. Lakey.
"Dr. Gilder is awesome! Every time I see her, she always takes the time to visit with me and really understand how I’m doing. She doesn’t make snap decisions but takes her time to make a diagnosis. I highly recommend her."
"No-nonsense. Dr. Dasari's neuropathy staging system helped us prioritize treatments."
Dr. Lackey was great to work with and very knowledgeable. He did more physical tests than any one else has. Very comfortable with him. Mr daughter-in-law, an RN, was there too and very impressed with him.
"Billing is transparent—no surprise charges like at my last neuro."
"ANC’s telehealth option saved me a 2-hour drive. Seamless tech setup!"
I saw Dr. Lackey for first time. He is a wonderful Dr., very knowledgeable, sincere, listens very well, gave me time to tell him my concerns. Very easy to talk to. He was honest and forthright in his advice and opinion according to my care plan. Thank you Dr Lackey. And welcome to Colorado.
