Business [Abstract] | |
Business | Business Business Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Alexion, the Company, we, our or us) is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on serving patients and families affected by rare diseases and devastating conditions through the discovery, development and commercialization of life-changing medicines. As a leader in rare diseases for more than 25 years, Alexion has developed and commercializes two approved complement inhibitors to treat patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), as well as the first and only approved complement inhibitor to treat anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in patients who are anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody positive. Alexion also has two highly innovative enzyme replacement therapies and the first and only approved therapies for patients with life-threatening and ultra-rare metabolic disorders, hypophosphatasia (HPP) and lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) as well as the first and only approved Factor Xa inhibitor reversal agent for patients treated with rivaroxaban or apixaban when reversal of anticoagulation is needed due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. In addition to our marketed therapies, we have a diverse pipeline resulting from internal innovation and business development. Alexion focuses its research efforts on novel molecules and targets in the complement cascade and its development efforts on the core therapeutic areas of hematology, nephrology, neurology, metabolic disorders, cardiology, ophthalmology and acute care. We were incorporated in 1992 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Merger Agreement with AstraZeneca On December 12, 2020, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with AstraZeneca PLC, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (AstraZeneca), Delta Omega Sub Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca (Bidco), Delta Omega Sub Holdings Inc. 1, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Bidco (Merger Sub I) and Delta Omega Sub Holdings LLC 2, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Bidco (Merger Sub II). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein (1) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Alexion (the “First Merger”), with Alexion surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bidco, and (2) immediately following the effective time of the First Merger (the Effective Time), Alexion will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the Second Merger and, together with the First Merger, the Mergers), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bidco and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca. Under the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Alexion issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive (1) 2.1243 American depositary shares of AstraZeneca (or, at the election of the holder thereof, a number of ordinary shares of AstraZeneca equal to the number of underlying ordinary shares represented by such American depositary shares) and (2) $60.00 in cash, without interest (collectively, the Merger Consideration). The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the acquisition. The respective obligations of Alexion and AstraZeneca to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of customary conditions, including: (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Alexion’s stockholders; (2) approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by AstraZeneca’s shareholders; (3) the absence of any law or order prohibiting consummation of the Mergers; (4) AstraZeneca’s registration statement on Form F-4 having been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission; (5) AstraZeneca’s shareholder circular (or, if required, prospectus) having been approved by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority; (6) the American depository shares of AstraZeneca issuable in the Mergers (and the ordinary shares of AstraZeneca represented thereby) having been approved for listing on the Nasdaq; (7) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the approval of the Mergers under the antitrust and foreign investment laws of other specified jurisdictions; (8) accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to certain materiality standards set forth in the Merger Agreement and (9) compliance by the other party in all material respects with such other party’s obligations under the Merger Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we are subject to a variety of specified restrictions under the Merger Agreement. Unless we obtain AstraZeneca’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and except (i) as required or expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) as required by applicable law or (iii) as set forth in the confidential disclosure schedule delivered by Alexion to AstraZeneca, we may not, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and aggregate limitations, incur additional indebtedness, issue additional shares of our common stock outside of our equity incentive plans, repurchase our common stock, pay dividends, acquire assets, securities or property, dispose of businesses or assets, enter into material contracts or make certain additional capital expenditures. Under the Merger Agreement, Alexion will be required to make a payment to AstraZeneca equal to $1,180.0 if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, including because the Alexion board of directors has changed its recommendation in favor of the Mergers or we terminated the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an agreement providing for a Company Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and Alexion will be required to make a payment to AstraZeneca equal to $270.0 if the Merger Agreement is terminated because Alexion’s stockholders fail to adopt the Merger Agreement. AstraZeneca will be required to make a payment to Alexion equal to $1,415.0 if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, including because the AstraZeneca board of directors has changed its recommendation in favor of the Mergers or because AstraZeneca’s shareholders fail to approve the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter 2021. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial statements for interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future periods. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and updated, as necessary in this report. The financial statements of our subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, historical exchange rates for stockholders' equity and weighted average exchange rates for operating results. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations in other income and expense. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Caelum Biosciences (Caelum), a variable interest entity (VIE) for which we are the primary beneficiary, refer to Note 10, Caelum Biosciences . All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the inception of the arrangement and at each reporting date. This assessment is based on our power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and our obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For the consolidation of Caelum, we record net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statements of operations based on the ownership interest retained by the respective noncontrolling parties. New Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" : In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform, including optional expedients and exceptions for the accounting implications of contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this new standard only apply to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the standard do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. We are currently reviewing our contracts impacted by reference rate reform and are assessing the impact of this standard on our financial condition and results of operations. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, “Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”: In December 2019, the FASB issued a new standard intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new standard also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our financial condition and results of operations. ASU 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging - Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815” : In January 2020, the FASB issued a new standard intended to clarify the interactions between Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 321, ASC 323 and ASC 815. The new standard addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measurement of certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires changes to be made prospectively. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our financial condition and results of operations. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions Business Combinations Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In October 2019, Alexion entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Achillion), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral Factor D inhibitors. Achillion was developing oral small molecule Factor D inhibitors to treat people with complement alternative pathway-mediated rare diseases, such as PNH and C3 glomerulopathy (C3G). Achillion had two clinical stage medicines in development, including danicopan (ACH-4471/ALXN2040) and ACH-5228 (ALXN2050). The acquisition of Achillion closed on January 28, 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired all outstanding common stock of Achillion for $6.30 per share, or an aggregate of $926.2, inclusive of the settlement of Achillion's outstanding equity awards. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. The transaction includes the potential for additional consideration in the form of non-tradeable contingent value rights (CVRs), which will be paid to Achillion shareholders if certain clinical and regulatory milestones are achieved within specified periods. These include $1.00 per share for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of danicopan and $1.00 per share for the initiation of a Phase III clinical trial in ACH-5228. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The following table summarizes the total consideration transferred to acquire Achillion and the estimated fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date: Consideration Upfront payment to shareholders and option holders $ 926.2 Upfront payment, fair value of equity compensation attributable to the post-combination service period (20.0) Upfront cash paid, net 906.2 Contingent consideration 160.7 Contingent consideration, fair value of equity compensation attributable to the post-combination service period (5.7) Total consideration $ 1,061.2 Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed Cash and cash equivalents $ 68.5 Marketable securities 106.1 In-process research & development assets (IPR&D) 918.0 Goodwill 37.8 Deferred tax liabilities, net (62.9) Other assets and liabilities, net (6.3) Total net assets acquired $ 1,061.2 Our accounting for this acquisition was finalized during the second quarter of 2020. Measurement period adjustments increased goodwill by $3.1 during the second quarter of 2020 due to purchase price allocation increases to deferred tax liabilities, net. Measurement period adjustments were recorded as a result of studies completed during the second quarter of 2020 to determine the tax deductibility of certain acquisition-related costs and the valuation of historical net operating loss and income tax credit carryforwards. The initial fair value estimate of the contingent consideration in the form of non-tradeable CVRs was $160.7, which was recorded as a noncurrent liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, including $5.7 related to compensation attributable to the post-combination service period. We determined the fair value of these milestone-related payment obligations using various estimates, including probabilities of success prior to expiration of the specified period, discount rates and the amount of time until the conditions of the milestone payments are expected to be met. This fair value measurement was based on significant inputs not observable in the market, representing Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The resulting probability-weighted cash flows were discounted using a cost of debt rate ranging from 2.1% to 2.3%. The range of estimated milestone payments upon closing of the acquisition was from zero, if no milestones are achieved for any product, to $306.3 if certain development and regulatory milestones are achieved. Subsequent to the acquisition date, we have adjusted the contingent consideration to fair value with changes in fair value recognized in operating earnings. Changes in fair values reflect new information about the probability and timing of meeting the conditions of the milestone payments. In the absence of new information, changes in fair value will only reflect the interest component of contingent consideration related to changes in the discount rates and the passage of time as development work progresses towards the potential achievement of the milestones. As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the contingent consideration for the Achillion acquisition was $212.8 based on the probability-weighted cash flows, discounted using a cost of debt ranging from 2.5% to 3.0%. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the Achillion acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, was $2.2 and $1.7, respectively. The aggregate fair value of equity compensation attributable to the post-combination service period was $25.7. This amount was excluded from the total consideration transferred and was recognized as a charge to acquisition-related costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter 2020. These amounts were associated with the accelerated vesting of stock options previously granted to Achillion employees. Excluding the $5.7 of contingent consideration related to equity compensation attributable to the post-combination service period, such amounts were paid during the first quarter 2020. Intangible assets associated with IPR&D relate to two development-stage programs, ACH-4471 (ALXN2040) and ACH-5228 (ALXN2050). The estimated fair value of $918.0 was determined using the excess earnings valuation method, a variation of the income valuation approach. The excess earnings valuation method estimates the value of an intangible asset equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to that intangible asset. Some of the more significant assumptions utilized in our asset valuations included the estimated net cash flows for each asset, including net revenues, cost of sales, research and development and other operating expenses, the potential regulatory and commercial success rates, competitive trends impacting the assets, and tax rates. The fair value using the excess earnings valuation method was determined using an estimated weighted average cost of capital for Achillion of 11.5%, which represents a rate of return that a market participant would expect for these assets. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. In the second quarter 2020, we recognized an impairment charge of $11.0 to write off our ACHN-4471 (ALXN2040) IPR&D asset due to clinical results received during the quarter. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill resulting from the acquisition. The goodwill, which is not tax-deductible, has been recorded as a noncurrent asset and is not amortized, but is subject to an annual review for impairment. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill include the value of the acquired workforce, synergies that are specific to our business and not available to market participants, and early research in preclinical Factor D inhibitors, as well as the effects of the establishment of a deferred tax liability for the acquired IPR&D intangible assets, which has no tax basis. We recorded a net deferred tax liabilit y of $62.9, inclusive of measurement period adjustments recorded during the second quarter 2020. This amount was pr imarily comprised of $205.3 of deferred tax liabilities relating to the IPR&D acquired, offset by $142.4 of deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), income tax credits, and other temporary differences. Achillion's results of operations are includ ed in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded $13.9 of pre-tax operating losses associated with the operations of Achillion in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We also recorded acquisition-related costs in connection with the acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as presented below. No revenues were recorded in the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as neither ALXN2040 nor ALXN2050 has been approved for commercial sale by any regulatory agency. Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In May 2020, Alexion entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Portola), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on life-threatening blood-related disorders. Portola’s commercialized medicine, ANDEXXA®, marketed as ONDEXXYA® in Europe, is the first and only approved Factor Xa inhibitor reversal agent, and has demonstrated transformative clinical value by rapidly reversing the anticoagulant effects of Factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban and apixaban in severe and uncontrolled bleeding. The acquisition provides the opportunity to grow Alexion's commercial portfolio and is a strategic fit with our existing expertise in acute care, h ematology and neurology. Alexion completed the acquisition through a tender offer and subsequent merger of Portola which closed on July 2, 2020. Under the terms of the tender offer and merger agreement, Alexion purchased all outstanding common stock of Portola for $18.00 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $1,380.8, including the settlement of certain of Portola's outstanding equity awards but excluding shares of Portola stock held by Alexion at closing. The acquisition was funded by cash on hand. Prior to the acquisition of Portola, in March 2020 and April 2020, we purchased $14.5 and $3.6, respectively, of common stock of Portola, which we recorded at fair value. Upon the closing of the acquisition of Portola, the fair value of the equity investment of $47.8 was derecognized and included in the fair value of consideration transferred. For additional information on our Portola equity investment, refer to Note 11, Other Investments. The aggregate fair value of equity compensation attributable to the post-combination service period was $11.1. This amount was excluded from the total consideration transferred and was recognized as a charge to acquisition-related costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the third quarter of 2020. These amounts were primarily associated with the accelerated vesting of stock options previously granted to Portola employees and were paid during the third quarter 2020. We issued $41.5 of equity compensation replacement awards, of which the portion attributable to services performed prior to the acquisition date, or $7.2, was allocated to purchase consideration. The remaining fair value is attributable to future services and will be expensed as share-based compensation over the remaining service periods. Expense associated with the accelerated-vesting of the replacement awards in connection with employee terminations will be recognized as acquisition-related employee separation costs. In connection with the acquisition, Alexion also paid $196.9 to settle certain debt held by Portola that was subject to preexisting change of control provisions. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The following table summarizes the total consideration transferred to acquire Portola and the estimated fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date: Consideration Upfront payment to shareholders and equity holders $ 1,380.8 Upfront payment, fair value of equity compensation attributable to the post-combination service period (11.1) Upfront cash paid, net 1,369.7 Fair value of equity shares held by Alexion at closing 47.8 Fair value of replacement equity awards attributable to the pre-combination period 7.2 Total consideration to acquire outstanding equity, net 1,424.7 Total consideration to settle preexisting debt 196.9 Total consideration $ 1,621.6 Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed Cash and cash equivalents $ 288.5 Marketable securities 17.8 Inventories, including noncurrent portion of $169.1 and validation batches of $60.9 362.5 Intangible assets 1,051.0 Goodwill 24.9 Deferred tax assets, net 116.6 Other assets 41.9 Accounts payable and accrued expenses (75.6) Long-term debt, including current portion of $7.7 (182.0) Other liabilities (24.0) Total net assets acquired $ 1,621.6 Our accounting for this acquisition was finalized during the fourth quarter of 2020. Measurement period adjustments decreased goodwill by $0.6 during the fourth quarter of 2020 due to purchase price allocation increases to deferred tax assets, net. Measurement period adjustments were recorded as a result of studies completed during the fourth quarter of 2020 to determine the tax deductibility of certain acquisition-related costs and the valuation of historical net operating loss and income tax credit carryforwards. We acquired $362.5 of ANDEXXA inventory, inclusive of $60.9 of validation batches manufactured under processes which are subject to regulatory approval and expected to be commercially saleable following approval. The estimated fair value of raw material inventory was valued at replacement cost, which is equal to the value a market participant would pay to acquire the inventory. The estimated fair value of work-in-process and finished goods inventory was based on the expected selling price of the inventory, adjusted for incremental costs to complete the manufacturing process, for direct selling efforts, and for a normal profit on the remaining manufacturing and selling costs. Additionally, as the inventory acquired, inclusive of validation batches, is expected to be realized over a period of approximately 3 years, the fair value of the inventory was determined using a discount rate of 17.5%, representing the rate of return that a market participant would expect for the inventory, which shares risk that is similar to the underlying intellectual property. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. The acquired inventory, inclusive of the acquisition-date fair value step-up, will be expensed within cost of sales as the inventory is sold to customers. We classified the ANDEXXA inventory that is expected to be utilized beyond our normal operating cycle as a long-term asset. The fair value of the non-current portion of inventory, in addition to the validation batches, are classified within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intangible assets consist of purchased technology of $1,036.0 and IPR&D of $15.0. The purchased technology intangible asset relates to Portola's lead product ANDEXXA. The estimated fair value was determined using the excess earnings valuation method, a variation of the income valuation approach. The excess earnings valuation method estimates the value of an intangible asset equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to that intangible asset. Some of the more significant assumptions utilized in our asset valuation included the estimated net cash flows for ANDEXXA, including net revenues, cost of sales, research and development and other operating expenses, the potential regulatory and commercial success rates associated with ANDEXXA's current conditional approval status and planned extension into the urgent surgery setting, competitive trends impacting the assets, and tax rates. The fair value using the excess earnings valuation method was determined using a discount rate commensurate with the risks of ANDEXXA of 17.5%, which represents a rate of return that a market participant would expect for the asset. The acquired purchased technology intangible asset is being amortized over an estimated useful life of approximately 10 years. IPR&D relates to the cerdulatinib development-stage asset. The estimated fair value of the IPR&D asset was determined using a relief from royalty (RFR) method, a variation of the income approach that is based on the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The RFR method was modified to reflect the cash flow forecast of Portola's pre-existing in-license of cerdulatinib from Astellas Pharma, Inc. The acquired fair value of $15.0 represents an increase in the value of the asset relative to when it was initially in-licensed by Portola. Some of the more significant assumptions utilized in the IPR&D asset valuation included the estimated net revenue, royalty rate, and tax rates. The fair value using the RFR method was determined using an estimated discount rate commensurate with the risks of cerdulatinib of 17.5%, which represents a rate of return that a market participant would expect for the asset. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. In connection with the acquisition, we assumed royalty-based debt which requires repayment through tiered royalties on future net worldwide sales of ANDEXXA. Total potential royalty payments are capped at $290.6, of which $13.7 were paid by Portola prior to the acquisition. The fair value of the remaining $276.9 in royalty-based payments as of the date of acquisition was $182.0. The estimated fair value was measured using Level 3 inputs and was calculated using a real options method, which runs simulations using various estimates, including probability-weighted net sales of ANDEXXA and volatility. Using the simulation results, the fair value was calculated based on the expected probability-weighted risk-neutral royalties, discounted at our estimated cost of debt, ranging from 3.3% to 7.1%, commensurate with the cost of debt at each period in which the royalty-based payments are estimated to be made. We recorded net deferred tax assets of $116.6, inclusive of measurement period adjustments recorded during the fourth quarter 2020. This amount was primarily comprised of $301.6, $41.8, $42.4 and $39.3 of deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), income tax credits, royalty-based debt, and other temporary differences, respectively, offset by $245.1 and $63.4 of deferred tax liabilities relating to intangible assets acquired and inventory fair value adjustments, respectively. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill resulting from the acquisition. The goodwill, which is not tax-deductible, has been recorded as a noncurrent asset and is not amortized, but is subject to an annual review for impairment. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill primarily include the value of the acquired workforce and the effects of the establishment of a deferred tax liability for the fair value step-up of acquired inventory and intangible assets which exceed the incremental book value of acquired deferred tax assets over their fair value. Pro forma financial information (unaudited) The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of Alexion and Achillion as if the acquisition of Achillion had been completed on January 1, 2019, with adjustments to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect operating efficiencies or potential cost savings that may have resulted from the consolidation of operations. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had we completed the transaction on January 1, 2019. Three months ended March 31, 2020 2019 Pro forma revenue $ 1,444.8 $ 1,140.4 Pro forma net income $ 574.9 $ 515.7 The unaudited pro forma consolidated results include pro forma adjustments related to non-recurring activity. Alexion and Achillion acquisition-related costs of $53.3, net of tax, were excluded from income for the three months ended March 31, 2020. These expenses were included in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Acquisition-Related Costs Acquisition-related costs recorded within the condensed consolidated statements of operations associated with our acquisitions of Achillion and Portola and our definitive merger agreement with AstraZeneca for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 include the following: Three months ended March 31 2021 2020 Transaction costs (1) $ 5.4 $ 1.4 Integration costs 4.1 0.1 Fair value of equity compensation attributable to the post-combination service period — 25.7 Employee costs (2) 3.7 10.9 $ 13.2 $ 38.1 (1) Transaction costs primarily include legal fees. First quarter 2020 transaction costs also include costs to effectuate the settlement of the Achillion outstanding options (2) Employee separation costs include severance payments and costs associated with one-time short-term retention awards Acquisition-related costs attributable to the Merger Agreement with AstraZeneca for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $8.2. Acquisition-related costs attributable to the Portola acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $5.0. Acquisition-related costs attributable to the Achillion acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $38.1. |

(“Rhythm”) to acquire its Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV) for $100.0, inclusive of transaction costs. The acquisition of the PRV closed on February 17, 2021. As there is probable future economic benefit from the PRV, we capitalized the $100.0 payment as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $54.1 and $74.7, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, assuming no changes in the gross cost basis of intangible assets, the total estimated amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets is $162.4 for the nine months ending December 31, 2021, and approximate ly $216.0 for each of the years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | Debt Credit Agreement On June 7, 2018, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement), with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement amended and restated our credit agreement dated as of June 22, 2015 (the Prior Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a $1,000.0 revolving credit facility and a $2,612.5 term loan facility. The revolving credit facility and the term loan facility mature on June 7, 2023. Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2019, we are required to make payments of 5.0% of the original principal amount of the term loan facility annually, payable in equal quarterly installments. In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement and the Prior Credit Agreement, we paid an aggregate of $53.1 in financing costs in 2018. Financing costs are amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt. Amortization expense associated with deferred financing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1.2. Remaining unamortized deferred financing costs as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $9.9 and $11.1, respectively. We made principal payments of $32.6 on the term loan during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and as of March 31, 2021, we had $2,351.3 outstanding on the term loan. We had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, we had open letters of credit of $1.0 that offset our availability in the revolving facility. The amount outstanding under the term loan of $2,351.3 as of March 31, 2021 is subject to variable interest rates, which are based on current market rates, and as such, the Company believes the carrying amount of the obligation approximates fair value. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2021. In connection with the planned merger with AstraZeneca, we evaluated the terms of the Credit Agreement and determined the agreement could require acceleration of payments upon a change of control. Royalty-based Financing In connection with our acquisition of Portola during the third quarter 2020, we assumed royalty-based debt relating to a royalty sales agreement Portola had entered into with HealthCare Royalty Partners (HCR) whereby HCR acquired a tiered royalty interest in future worldwide net sales of ANDEXXA. Portola received $50.0 upon closing of the agreement in February 2017 and an additional $100.0 following the U.S. regulatory approval of ANDEXXA in May 2018. Tiered royalties ranging from 4.2% to 8.5% are required to be paid to HCR based on net worldwide sales of ANDEXXA. The applicable rate decreases as worldwide net annual sales levels increase above defined thresholds. Total potential royalty payments are capped at 195.0% of the funding received less certain transaction expenses, or $290.6. As of the date of acquisition, the remaining due to HCR was $276.9 in royalty-based payments. We recorded the HCR debt at its fair value of $182.0 upon closing of the acquisition, representing an initial debt discount of $94.9. We have also recognized a deferred tax asset of $42.4 related to the royalty-based debt as of the acquisition date. For additional information on our acquisition of Portola, please refer to Note 3, Acquisitions. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest rate method over the estimated period the related debt will be paid. This requires estimation of the timing and amount of future royalty payments to be generated from future sales of ANDEXXA. We reassess the expected royalty payments each reporting period and account for any changes through an adjustment to the effective interest rate on a prospective basis. The assumptions used in determining the expected repayment term of the debt require that we make estimates that could impact the short and long term classification of the debt carrying values. Each period, we amortize the initial debt discount using the effective interest rate implied from the projected timing of royalty payments to HCR. The effective interest rate for the HCR royalty-based debt as of March 31, 2021 was 11.4%. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized interest expense associated with the amortization of the debt discount of $5.0. We made royalty-based debt payments of $3.3 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying value of the royalty-based debt includes approximately $2.5 of royalty payments on first quarter sales of ANDEXXA which will be paid during the second quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying value of the HCR royalty-based debt was $188.7, of which $16.3 was recorded within current portion of long-term debt and $172.4 was recorded within long-term debt, less current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the HCR royalty- based debt was $187.0, of which $15.5 was recorded within current portion of long-term debt and $171.5 was recorded within long-term debt, less current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our payment obligations for HCR royalty-based debt are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Total repayment obligation as of December 31, 2020 $ 271.9 Less: Interest to be accreted in future periods (79.9) Less: Payments made (3.3) Carrying value as of March 31, 2021 $ 188.7 |

Earnings Per Common Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Common Share | Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income attributable to Alexion by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding attributable to Alexion. For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, the denominator reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, unvested restricted stock units or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, using the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020: Three months ended March 31, 2021 2020 Net income attributable to Alexion $ 636.0 $ 557.6 Shares used in computing earnings per common share attributable to Alexion —basic 220.1 221.6 Weighted-average effect of dilutive securities: Stock awards 2.5 1.0 Shares used in computing earnings per common share attributable to Alexion —diluted 222.6 222.6 Earnings per common share attributable to Alexion: Basic $ 2.89 $ 2.52 Diluted $ 2.86 $ 2.50 We exclude from EPS the weighted-average number of securities whose effect is anti-dilutive. Excluded from the calculation of EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were 0.8 and 3.2 shares of Alexion common stock, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive. |

We utilize the specific identification method in computing realized gains and losses. As a result of our liquidation of all available-for-sale debt securities during 2020, we have no remaining available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. We sponsor a nonqualified deferred compensation plan which allows certain highly compensated employees to elect to defer income to future periods. Participants in the plan earn a return on their deferrals based on several investment options, which mirror returns on underlying mutual fund investments. We choose to invest in the underlying mutual fund investments to offset the liability associated with our nonqualified deferred compensation plan. These mutual fund investments are valued at net asset value per share and are carried at fair value with gains and losses included in investment income. The changes in the underlying liability to the employee are recorded in operating expenses. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of these investments was $39.7 and $34.9, respectively. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The exposures result from portions of our revenues, as well as the related receivables, and expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro and Japanese Yen. We are also exposed to fluctuations in interest rates on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, if any, and term loan facility. We manage these exposures within specified guidelines through the use of derivatives. All of our derivative instruments are utilized for risk management purposes, and we do not use derivatives for speculative trading purposes. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge exposures resulting from portions of our forecasted revenues, including intercompany revenues that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Revenue foreign exchange forward contracts in effect as of March 31, 2021 had durations of up to 23 months. The purpose of these hedges is to reduce the volatility of exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges upon contract inception. As of March 31, 2021, we had open revenue related foreign exchange forward contracts with notional amounts totaling $853.3 that qualified for hedge accounting with current contract maturities through June 2022. To achieve a desired mix of floating and fixed interest rates on our term loan, we enter into interest rate swap agreements that qualify for and are designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts convert the floating interest rate on a portion of our debt to a fixed rate, plus a borrowing spread. The following table summarizes the total interest rate swap contracts executed as of March 31, 2021: Type of Interest Rate Swap Contract Notional Amount Effective Date Termination Date Fixed Interest Rate or Rate Range Floating to Fixed $450.0 December 2018 December 2022 2.60% - 2.79% Floating to Fixed $1,300.0 December 2019 December 2022 2.37% - 2.83% The amount of gains and (losses) recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 from foreign exchange and interest rate swap contracts that qualified as cash flow hedges were as follows: Three months ended Three months ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Financial Statement Line Item in which the Effects of Cash Flow Hedges are Recorded Net Product Sales Interest Expense Net Product Sales Interest Expense Total amount presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations $ 1,635.7 $ (27.1) $ 1,444.6 $ (25.8) Impact of cash flow hedging relationships: Foreign exchange forward contracts $ (11.8) $ — $ 11.4 $ — Interest rate contracts $ — $ (11.4) $ — $ (4.6) The impact on accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and earnings from foreign exchange and interest rate swap contracts that qualified as cash flow hedges, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2021 2020 Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts: Gain recognized in AOCI, net of tax $ 33.4 $ 26.0 (Loss) gain reclassified from AOCI to net product sales, net of tax $ (9.1) $ 8.8 Interest Rate Swap Contracts: Gain (loss) recognized in AOCI, net of tax $ 1.0 $ (47.3) Loss reclassified from AOCI to interest expense, net of tax $ (8.8) $ (3.6) Assuming no change in foreign exchange rates from market rates as of March 31, 2021, $9.7 of gains recognized in AOCI will be reclassified to revenue over the next 12 months. Assuming no change in LIBOR-based interest rates from market rates as of March 31, 2021, $45.7 of losses recognized in AOCI will be reclassified to interest expense over the next 12 months. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts designed to limit the balance sheet exposure of monetary assets and liabilities. We enter into these hedges to reduce the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on our operating results. Balance sheet hedges related to foreign exchange forward contracts in effect as of March 31, 2021 had durations of up to 3 months. Hedge accounting is not applied to these derivative instruments as gains and losses on these hedge transactions are designed to offset gains and losses on underlying balance sheet exposures. As of March 31, 2021, the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts where hedge accounting is not applied was $1,126.5. We recognized a gain of $12.2 and $16.2, in other income and (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, associated with the foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments. These amounts were partially offset by gains or losses on monetary assets and liabilities.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract] | |
Caelum Biosciences | Caelum Biosciences Background In January 2019, we entered into an agreement with Caelum, a biotechnology company that is developing CAEL101 for light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired a minority equity interest in preferred stock of Caelum and an exclusive option to acquire the remaining equity in Caelum based on Phase II data, for pre-negotiated economics. We paid $30.0 in the first quarter 2019 and agreed to pay up to an additional $30.0 in contingent development milestones prior to the exercise of the option to acquire the remaining equity in Caelum. These contingent payments met the definition of a derivative liability and were initially recorded at fair value of $27.1, based on the probability-weighted cash flows, discounted using a cost of debt ranging from 3.3% to 3.5%. We allocated the total consideration of $57.1, inclusive of the fair value of the contingent payments, to the equity investment in Caelum and the option to acquire the remaining equity in Caelum based on the relative fair values of the assets. Following discussions with the FDA, Caelum changed its clinical development plan for CAEL-101 in the fourth quarter 2019. In December 2019, we amended the terms of the agreement with Caelum to modify the option to acquire the remaining equity in Caelum based on data from the modified Phase II/III trials. The amendment also modified the development-related milestone events associated with the initial $30.0 in contingent payments, provided for an additional $20.0 in upfront funding, as well as funding of $60.0 in exchange for an additional equity interest at fair value upon achievement of a specific development-related milestone event. In December 2019, we accounted for the amendment as an exchange transaction as the terms of the modified option were determined to be substantially different than the terms of the original option. In conjunction with this amendment, we recognized a gain of $32.0 during the fourth quarter 2019 in other income and (expense), which reflected an increase in the fair value of the option, less $20.0 in incremental upfront funding which we accrued as of December 31, 2019 and paid during the first quarter 2020, and $4.1 associated with the change in the fair value of contingent payments which we also modified as part of the amendment. A Phase II trial for CAEL-101 subsequently commenced during the first quarter of 2020 and met its primary objectives, supporting the safety and tolerability of CAEL-101 and confirmed the dose and regimen to be adopted for the Phase III studies. In September 2020, Alexion and Caelum announced the initiation of the Cardiac Amyloid Reaching for Extended Survival (CARES) program. This includes two parallel Phase III trials to evaluate the survival benefits of CAEL-101. In December 2020, in connection with entering into the Merger Agreement with AstraZeneca (refer to Note 1, Business ), we determined that the fair value of our option to acquire the remaining equity of Caelum decreased as a result of a change to the expected option exercise date. This resulted in a $49.0 impairment charge which we recorded to investment income, net. The carrying value of the preferred stock was unaffected. In March 2021, we amended the terms of our agreement with Caelum. The amended terms with Caelum modified the previously agreed upon funding of $60.0 in exchange for additional equity and included provisions to provide additional support to Caelum. Upon execution of the second amendment in March 2021, we provided $46.0 to Caelum in exchange for preferred equity and agreed to pay $14.0 upon achievement of a specified development milestone. We also committed to provide services to Caelum at no cost and to reimburse Caelum for costs incurred for incremental clinical trial activities that we requested be completed. We continue to hold a minority equity interest in Caelum. Including the equity acquired in connection with the execution of the second amendment, we hold a 33.3% fully-diluted interest in Caelum as of March 31, 2021. In the event we exercise the exclusive purchase option, the agreement provides for additional payments to Caelum for up to $500.0, which includes an upfront option exercise payment of $150.0 and potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $350.0. The pending acquisition of Alexion by AstraZeneca will accelerate the expiration period of the exclusive purchase option to 6-months after the close of the acquisition. Our arrangement with Caelum, including through our preferred equity investments, provides Alexion the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from Caelum. From the date of the initial agreement in January 2019 up until the date of the second amendment in March 2021, Caelum was not consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements as we did not have the power to direct the activities of Caelum that most significantly impact its economic performance, notably the completion of the clinical trials and activities to support regulatory approval of CAEL-101. As a result of the second amendment in March 2021, we became the primary beneficiary of Caelum and began consolidating Caelum as the incremental funding and support for clinical trial activities provides us the deemed power to direct the activities of Caelum that most significantly impact its economic performance. Accounting for Caelum as a Consolidated VIE Upon the initial consolidation of Caelum in March 2021, we recorded a $161.0 noncontrolling interest and derecognized our equity investment and purchase option of $41.0 and $15.0, respectively. Additionally, we recorded net assets of $217.0, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and other assets and liabilities, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Caelum is a VIE that does not meet the definition of a business and as a result, no goodwill was recognized. The following table summarizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the consolidation of Caelum: Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed Cash and cash equivalents $ 16.9 Acquired in-process research and development 193.3 Other assets and liabilities, net 6.8 Total net assets acquired $ 217.0 Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets of Caelum is concentrated in a single in-process research and development asset, CAEL-101. Due to the stage of development of this asset at the date of consolidation, significant risk remained and it was not yet probable that there was future economic benefit from this asset. Absent successful clinical results and regulatory approval for the asset, there is no alternative future use associated with CAEL-101. Accordingly, the value of this asset was expensed during the first quarter of 2021. Caelum net loss included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations was $196.0, including acquired in-process research and development of $193.3, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, of which $146.8 was attributed to the noncontrolling interest. The carrying value of the assets and liabilities associated with Caelum included in the condensed consolidated balance s heets as of March 31, 2021, which are limited in use for its operations and do not have recourse against our general credit are as follows: March 31, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 56.5 Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 8.6 Other assets $ 7.8 Accounts payable $ 3.6 Accrued expenses $ 2.3 Accounting for Caelum Prior to Consolidation Prior to our consolidation of Caelum in March 2021, we recognized our equity investment in Caelum and the option to acquire the remaining equity in Caelum within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As our equity investment in Caelum and option to acquire the remaining equity in Caelum did not have readily determinable fair values, we only adjusted the carrying value of the assets for impairment and any subsequent changes resulting from an observable price change in an orderly transaction for identical or similar equity securities of the same issuer. There were no observable price changes or impairments associated with these assets during the three months ended March 31, 2021 prior to consolidation or during the three months ended March 31, 2020. |

These investments are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Dicerna In October 2018, we purchased $10.3 of Dicerna Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Dicerna) common stock in connection with an agreement that we entered into with Dicerna, a publicly-traded biopharmaceutical company. As our equity investment in Dicerna common stock has a readily determinable fair value, we are recording the investment at fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized an unrealized gain of $3.0 and unrealized loss of $3.1, respectively, in investment income to adjust our equity investment in Dicerna to fair value. The fair value of this investment was $21.4 and $18.4 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Zealand In March 2019, we purchased $13.8 (Kr. 90.9) of Zealand Pharma A/S (Zealand) common stock in connection with an agreement that we entered into with Zealand, a publicly-traded biopharmaceutical company based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Refer to Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information on the agreement. As our equity investment in Zealand common stock has a readily determinable fair value, we are recording the investment at fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized an unrealized loss of $2.5 and $0.2, respectively, in investment income to adjust our equity investment in Zealand to fair value. The fair value of this investment was $25.4 and $29.1 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. BridgeBio (Eidos) In September 2019, we purchased $19.9 of Eidos Therapeutics, Inc. (Eidos) common stock, in connection with an agreement that we entered into with Eidos, a publicly-traded biopharmaceutical company and subsidiary of BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. Refer to Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information on the agreement. In January 2021, BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (BridgeBio) completed its acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Eidos common stock that BridgeBio did not already own at which time we received 1.85 shares of BridgeBio common stock for each share of Eidos common stock previously held. As our equity investment in BridgeBio common stock has a readily determinable fair value, we are recording the investment at fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized an unrealized loss of $9.8 and $3.7, respectively, in investment income to adjust our equity investment in BridgeBio (formerly Eidos) to fair value. The fair value of this investment was $63.4 and $73.2 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Portola In March 2020 and April 2020, we purchased $14.5 and $3.6 , respectively, of common stock of Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a publicly traded commercial-stage biological company which we acquired on July 2, 2020. As our equity investment in Portola common stock had a readily determinable fair value, we recorded the investment at fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized an unrealized gain of $0.6, in investment income to adjust our equity investment in Portola to fair value. Upon the closing of the acquisition of Portola on July 2, 2020, the fair value of the equity investment of $47.8 was derecognized and included in the fair value of consideration transferred, resulting in a realized gain of $29.7 in investment income on our initial investment. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions , for additional information. Inozyme On July 17, 2020, we sold certain intellectual property rights and assets focusing on ENPP1 gene deficiencies to Inozyme Pharma (Inozyme), a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company, in exchange for $14.8 of Inozyme Pharma common stock, which was initially recorded at its IPO offering price, net of the effects of a nine month holding period restriction. We recognized the $14.8 of consideration received as a gain within gain on sale of assets in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the third quarter of 2020. As our equity investment in Inozyme common stock has a readily determinable fair value, we are recording the investment at fair value. We have considered the effects of the holding period restriction and determined that the impact on the fair value of the investment is immaterial as of March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized an unrealized gain of $1.5, in investment income to adjust our investment in Inozyme to fair value. The fair value of this investment was $22.0 and $20.5 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively . Other Strategic Investments We have other strategic investments in equity securities of $5.8 and $2.6 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement Authoritative guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The following tables present information about our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine such fair value. Fair Value Measurement as of Balance Sheet Type of Instrument Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 1,258.8 $ — $ 1,258.8 $ — Marketable securities Mutual funds $ 39.7 $ 39.7 $ — $ — Other assets Equity securities $ 137.4 $ 137.4 $ — $ — Prepaid expenses and other current assets Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 41.5 $ — $ 41.5 $ — Other assets Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 0.1 $ — $ 0.1 $ — Other current liabilities Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 21.6 $ — $ 21.6 $ — Other current liabilities Interest rate contracts $ 45.7 $ — $ 45.7 $ — Other liabilities Interest rate contracts $ 32.9 $ — $ 32.9 $ — Current portion of contingent consideration Acquisition-related contingent consideration $ 120.0 $ — $ — $ 120.0 Contingent consideration Acquisition-related contingent consideration $ 303.5 $ — $ — $ 303.5 Fair Value Measurement as of Balance Sheet Type of Instrument Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 833.7 $ — $ 833.7 $ — Marketable securities Mutual funds $ 34.9 $ 34.9 $ — $ — Other assets Equity securities $ 143.2 $ 122.7 $ 20.5 $ — Prepaid expenses and other current assets Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 26.1 $ — $ 26.1 $ — Other current liabilities Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 80.1 $ — $ 80.1 $ — Other liabilities Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 1.2 $ — $ 1.2 $ — Other current liabilities Interest rate contracts $ 45.9 $ — $ 45.9 $ — Other liabilities Interest rate contracts $ 45.4 $ — $ 45.4 $ — Current portion of contingent consideration Acquisition-related contingent consideration $ 114.9 $ — $ — $ 114.9 Contingent consideration Acquisition-related contingent consideration $ 299.4 $ — $ — $ 299.4 There were no securities transferred between Level 1, 2 and 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Valuation Techniques We classify mutual fund investments and equity securities, which are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets with no valuation adjustment, as Level 1 assets within the fair value hierarchy. Cash equivalents classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy relate to money market funds. The fair value of our money market funds was determined through third-party pricing sources. Other investments in equity securities of publicly traded companies which are subject to holding period restrictions are carried at fair value using an option pricing valuation model and classified as Level 2 equity securities within the fair value hierarchy. The most significant assumptions within the option pricing valuation model are the term of the restrictions and the stock price volatility, which is based upon the historical volatility of the applicable company or similar companies. We also use a constant maturity risk-free interest rate to match the remaining term of the restrictions on such investments. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk as well as an evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Contingent consideration liabilities related to business acquisitions are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy and are valued based on various estimates, including probability of success, discount rates and amount of time until the conditions of the milestone payments are met. As of March 31, 2021, there has not been any impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risks. Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration In connection with our prior business combinations, we may be required to pay future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory approvals or sales-based milestone events. We determine the fair value of these obligations using various estimates that are not observable in the market and represent a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2021, the resulting probability-weighted cash flows were discounted using a cost of debt ranging from 2.5% to 3.0% for developmental and regulatory milestones and a weighted average cost of capital of 9.0% for sales-based milestones. As of December 31, 2020, the resulting probability-weighted cash flows were discounted using a cost of debt ranging from 2.8% to 3.3% for developmental and regulatory milestones and a weighted average cost of capital of 9.0% for sales-based milestones. Each reporting period, we adjust the contingent consideration to fair value with changes in fair value recognized in operating income. Changes in fair values reflect new information about the probability and timing of meeting the conditions of the milestone payments. In the absence of new information, changes in fair value will only reflect the interest component of contingent consideration related to changes in discount rates and the passage of time. As of March 31, 2021, estimated future contingent milestone payments related to our business combinations range from zero if no milestone events are achieved, to a maximum of $905.6 if all development, regulatory and sales-based milestones are reached. In the first quarter of 2021, a sales-based milestone associated with our acquisition of Enobia Pharma Corp. was achieved. In connection with such achievement, we will make a $120.0 milestone payment in the second quarter of 2021. No additional milestone payments associated with our prior business combinations are expected during the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration was $423.5. The following table represents a roll-forward of our acquisition-related contingent consideration: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 414.3 Changes in fair value 9.2 Balance as of March 31, 2021 $ 423.5 |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes Tax Rate The following table provides a comparative summary of our income tax expense and effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021: Three months ended March 31, 2021 2020 Income tax expense $ 113.4 $ 106.0 Effective income tax rate 18.8 % 16.0 % Income tax expense is attributable to the U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes on our profitable operations. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily attributable to the consolidation of Caelum during the first quarter 2021. Caelum's net loss included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $196.0, including acquired in-process research and development expense of $193.3, for which no tax benefit has been recognized. This resulted in an increase to the effective tax rate of 5.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In April 2020 we became aware of a European withholding tax regulation that could be interpreted to apply to certain of our previous intra-group transactions. We recorded an immaterial reserve related to this matter during the second quarter of 2020. We have recorded tax on the undistributed earnings of our controlled foreign corporation (CFC) subsidiaries. To the extent CFC earnings may not be repatriated to the U.S. as a dividend distribution due to limitations imposed by law, we have not recorded the related potential withholding, foreign, local, and U.S. state income taxes. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of certain deferred tax assets will not be realized. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Asset Acquisition and In-License Agreements We have entered into asset purchase agreements, license agreements, and option arrangements in order to advance and obtain technologies and services related to our business. These agreements generally require us to pay an initial fee and certain agreements call for future payments upon the attainment of agreed upon development, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. These agreements may also require minimum royalty payments based on sales of products developed from the applicable technologies, if any. Refer to Note 10, Caelum Biosciences, for information on commitments and additional payments that may be required in connection with our agreement with Caelum, which has been consolidated as a variable interest entity in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In March 2019, we entered into an agreement with Zealand which provides us with exclusive worldwide licenses, as well as development and commercial rights, for subcutaneously delivered preclinical peptide therapies directed at up to four complement pathway targets. Pursuant to the agreement, Zealand will lead joint discovery and research efforts through the preclinical stage, and Alexion will lead development efforts beginning with the investigational new drug filing and Phase I studies. In addition to the agreement, we made an equity investment in Zealand (refer to Note 11, Other Investments ). Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $40.0 for an exclusive license to the lead target and the equity investment, as well as for preclinical research services to be performed by Zealand in relation to the lead target. The market value of the equity investment was $13.8 as of the date of acquisition, which we recorded in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We also recognized prepaid research and development expense of $5.0 within the condensed consolidated balance sheets associated with the research activities to be performed by Zealand. Due to the early stage of the asset we are licensing, we recorded the upfront license payment of $21.2 as research and development expense during the first quarter 2019. As of March 31, 2021, we could be required to pay up to $610.0, for the lead target, upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as royalties on commercial sales. In addition, we could be required to pay up to an additional $115.0 in development and regulatory milestones if both a long-acting and short-acting product are developed with respect to the lead target. Each of the three subsequent targets can be selected for an option fee of $15.0 and has the potential for additional development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as royalty payments, at a reduced price to the lead target. In September 2019, we entered into an agreement with Eidos through which Alexion obtained an exclusive license to develop and commercialize AG10 in Japan. AG10 is a small molecule designed to treat the root cause of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) and is currently in a Phase III study in the U.S., Europe and Japan for ATTR cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). In addition, we made an equity investment in Eidos (refer to Note 11, Other Investments ). Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $50.0 for the exclusive license to AG10 in Japan and the equity investment. The market value of the equity investment was $19.9 as of the date of acquisition, which we recorded in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Due to the early stage of the asset we are licensing, we recorded the upfront license payment of $30.1 as research and development expense during the third quarter 2019. In January 2021, BridgeBio completed its acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Eidos common stock that BridgeBio did not already own. As of March 31, 2021, we could be required to pay $30.0 upon achievement of a Japanese-based regulatory milestone as well as royalties on commercial sales. In October 2018, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Dicerna that provides us with exclusive worldwide licenses and development and commercial rights for two preclinical RNA interference (RNAi) subcutaneously delivered molecules for complement-mediated diseases, as well as an exclusive option for other preclinical RNAi molecules for two additional targets within the complement pathway. In addition to the collaboration agreement, we made an equity investment in Dicerna. Under the terms of the agreements, we made an upfront payment of $37.0 for the exclusive licenses and the equity investment. The market value of the equity investment was $10.3 as of the date of acquisition, which we recorded in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Due to the early stage of the assets we are licensing, we recorded the upfront license payment of $26.7 as research and development expense during the fourth quarter 2018. In December 2019, we exercised our option for exclusive rights to two additional targets within the complement pathway under an existing agreement with Dicerna, which expands our existing research collaboration and license agreement with Dicerna to include a total of four targets within the complement pathway. In connection with the option exercise, we paid Dicerna $20.0, which we recorded as research and development expense in the fourth quarter 201 9. As of March 31, 2021, we could be required to pay up to $604.1 for amounts due upon the achievement of specified research, development, regulatory and commercial milestones on the four licensed targets, as well as royalties on commercial sales. In December 2017, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. that allows us to use drug-delivery technology in the development of subcutaneous formulations for our portfolio of products for up to four targets. U nder the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $40.0 for an exclusive license to two of the four potential targets and due to the early stage of the assets we are licensing, we recorded an expense for the upfront payment during the fourth quarter 2017. During the second quarter 2020, we forfeited our rights to one of the two targets we initially licensed. As of March 31, 2021, we could be required to pay up to $155.0 for the remaining licensed target upon achievement of specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestones, as well as royalties on commercial sales. Each of the two subsequent targets can be licensed for an option fee of $8.0, with contingent payments of up to $160.0 per target, subject to development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as royalties on commercial sales. In connection with our prior acquisition of Syntimmune, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing an antibody therapy targeting the FcRn, we could be required to pay up to $800.0 upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones, of which $130.0 is specific to the subcutaneous formulation. We are currently subject to a claim in litigation in connection with the Syntimmune acquisition alleging that Alexion failed to meet its obligations under the merger agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the milestones and plaintiff has requested payment of the full earn-out amount. In addition, as of March 31, 2021, we have other license agreements under which we may be required to pay up to an additional $114.1 for currently licensed targets, if certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones are met, including up to $71.5 for the development of cerdulatinib in multiple indications pursuant to an in-licensing agreement with Astellas Pharma, Inc. which was assumed through the acquisition of Portola in the third quarter 2020. Additional amounts may be payable if we elect to acquire licenses to additional targets, as applicable, under the terms of these agreements. During the next 12 months, we may incur milestone payments related to our asset acquisitions, option and in-license agreements of approximately $155.1 as of March 31, 2021, inclusive of $14.0 of potential milestone payments due to Caelum, which has been consolidated as a variable interest entity as of the first quarter 2021. Additionally, in the event we exercise the exclusive purchase option with Caelum, the agreement provides for additional payments to Caelum for up to $500.0, which includes an upfront option exercise payment of $150.0 and potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $350.0. The pending acquisition of Alexion by AstraZeneca will accelerate the expiration period of the exclusive purchase option to 6-months after the close of the acquisition . Asset Sale and Out-License Arrangements In connection with prior asset sale and out-license arrangements, including those assumed by Alexion through prior acquisitions, Alexion is entitled to receive contingent payments upon the achievement of various regulatory and commercial milestones and other events, as well as royalties on commercial sales. Income resulting from contingent milestone payments and royalties on commercial sales is generally recognized when the contingent consideration is probable and no longer constrained. Additionally, sales-based milestones and royalties on commercial sales resulting from an out-license arrangement are subject to the sales-and-usage based royalty scope exception and recognized only when the associated sales occur. In September 2018, we sold all assets, rights and obligations of the ALXN1101 program to Origin Biosciences, Inc. (Origin) and, as a result, recognized a gain of $3.5 during the third quarter 2018. Under the terms of the agreement with Origin, Alexion is entitled to receive contingent payments upon the achievement of various regulatory and commercial milestones, including Origin’s receipt of a PRV, as well as royalties on commercial sales. In the first quarter of 2021, ALXN1101, now branded as NULIBRY™ (fosdenopterin), received approval from the FDA. Origin also received a PRV in connection with this approval. As a result, we recognized income of $20.0 in gain on sale of assets in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 . This income primarily represents the change in our estimate of variable consideration expected to be received under this contract. Additional rights to receive contingent payments of approximately $21.0 upon certain contingent milestone events, as well as royalties on sales of NULIBRY™, remain fully constrained given the significant uncertainty in realizing any such amounts. The amount of contingent consideration related to our other asset sale and out-license agreements is fully constrained and therefore has not been recognized as of March 31, 2021 . Manufacturing Agreements We have various manufacturing development and license agreements to support our clinical and commercial product needs. We rely on Lonza, a third party manufacturer, to produce a portion of commercial and clinical quantities of our commercial products and product candidates. We have various manufacturing and license agreements with Lonza, with remaining total non-cancellable future commitments of approximately $1,432.1 through 2030. This amount includes $97.9 of undiscounted, fixed payments applicable to our Contr act Manufacturing Organization (CMO) embedded lease arrangement with Lonza. If we terminate certain supply agreements with Lonza without cause, we will be required to pay for product scheduled for manufacture under our arrangement. Under an existing arrangement with Lonza, we pay Lonza a royalty on the sales of SOLIRIS and ULTOMIRIS manufactured at Lonza facilities. In addition to our commitments with Lonza, as of March 31, 2021 we have non-cancellable commitments of approximately $125.7 through 2023 with other third party manufacturers. Contingent Liabilities We are currently involved in various claims, disputes, lawsuits, investigations, administrative proceedings and legal proceedings. On a quarterly basis, we review the status of each significant matter and assess its potential financial exposure. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, if the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Because of uncertainties related to claims, proceedings and litigation, accruals are based on our best estimates based on information available at the time of the assessment. On a periodic basis, as additional information becomes available, or based on specific events such as the outcome of litigation, court decisions or settlement of claims (and offers of settlement), we may reassess the potential liability related to these matters and may revise these estimates, which could result in a material adverse adjustment to our operating results. Costs associated with our involvement in legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. The outcome of any such proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. If we were unable to prevail in any such proceedings, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and future cash flows may be materially impacted. We have received, and may in the future receive, notices from third parties claiming that their patents may be infringed by the use, development, manufacture, importation or sale of our products or product candidates. Under the guidance of ASC 450, Contingencies , we record a royalty accrual based on our best estimate of the fair value percent of net sales of our products that we could be required to pay the owners of patents for technology used in the manufacture and sale of our products. A costly license, or inability to obtain a necessary license, could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. In May 2015, we received a subpoena in connection with an investigation by the Enforcement Division of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting information related to our grant-making activities and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in various countries. In addition, in October 2015, we received a request from the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the voluntary production of documents and other information pertaining to Alexion’s compliance with the FCPA. The SEC and DOJ also sought information related to Alexion’s recalls of specific lots of SOLIRIS and related securities disclosures. The investigations focused on operations in various countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Japan, Russia and Turkey, and Alexion's compliance with the FCPA and other applicable laws. In May 2020, DOJ informed us that it has closed its inquiry into these matters. On July 2, 2020, we reached a civil settlement with the SEC fully resolving the SEC’s investigation into possible violations of the FCPA. Alexion neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing in connection with the settlement but agreed to pay $21.5 to the SEC, consisting of amounts attributable to disgorgement, civil penalties, and pre-judgment interest. In connection with this settlement, in July 2020, we paid $21.5 to the SEC. Following the settlement with the SEC, the Ministry of Health in Turkey initiated an investigation regarding the matters referenced in the SEC Order as they relate to the Company’s operations in Turkey between 2010 and 2015. We are cooperating with this investigation. Alexion is committed to continually focusing on its compliance program and continues to enhance its comprehensive company-wide program that is designed to enhance our business processes, structures, controls, training, talent, and systems across Alexion’s global operations. As previously reported, on December 29, 2016, a sharehold er filed a putative class action against the Company and certain former employees in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, alleging that defendants made misrepresentations and omissions about SOLIRIS. On April 12, 2017, the court appointed a lead plaintiff. On July 14, 2017, the lead plaintiff filed an amended putative class action complaint against the Company and seven current or former employees. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on September 12, 2017. Plaintiffs filed an opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss on November 13, 2017, and defendants filed a reply brief in further support of their motion on December 28, 2017. On March 26, 2019, the court held a telephonic status conference. During that conference, the court informed counsel that it was preparing a ruling granting the defendants’ pending motion to dismiss. The court inquired of plaintiffs’ counsel whether they intended to seek leave to amend their complaint, and indicated that if they wished to file a second amended complaint, they would be allowed to do so. On April 2, 2019, the court granted plaintiffs until May 31, 2019 to file a second amended complaint, thereby rendering moot defendants’ pending motion to dismiss. On June 2, 2019, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint against the same defendants. The complaint alleges that defendants engaged in securities fraud, including by making misrepresentations and omissions in its public disclosures concerning the Company’s SOLIRIS sales practices, management changes, and related investigations, between January 30, 2014 and May 26, 2017, and that the Company's stock price dropped upon the purported disclosure of the alleged fraud. The plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified monetary relief, unspecified equitable and injunctive relief, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Defendants’ filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on August 2, 2019; plaintiffs’ filed their opposition to that motion on October 2, 2019; and defendants’ filed their reply in further support of their motion on November 15, 2019. Given the early stage of these proceedings, we cannot presently predict the likelihood of obtaining dismissal of the case (or the ultimate outcome of the case if the motion to dismiss is denied by the court), nor can we estimate the possible loss or range of loss at this time. In December 2016, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts requesting documents relating generally to our support of Patient Services, Inc. (PSI) and National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), 501(c)(3) organizations that provide financial assistance to Medicare patients taking drugs sold by Alexion; Alexion’s provision of free drug to Medicare patients; and Alexion compliance policies and training materials concerning the anti-kickback statute and information on donations to PSI and NORD from 2010 through 2016. In April 2019, we entered into a civil settlement agreement with the DOJ and the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to resolve this matter. As part of the settlement agreement, Alexion paid $13.1 to the DOJ and OIG. OIG did not require a Corporate Integrity Agreement with Alexion because it made fundamental organizational changes, including hiring a new executive leadership team, replacing half of the members of its Board of Directors, and effecting a significant change in the workforce. In May 2017, Brazilian authorities seized records and data from our São Paulo, Brazil offices as part of an investigation being conducted into Alexion’s Brazilian operations. We are cooperating with this inquiry. In June 2017, we received a demand to inspect certain of our books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware on behalf of a purported stockholder. Among other things, the demand sought to determine whether to institute a derivative lawsuit against certain of the Company’s directors and officers in relation to the investigation by our Audit and Finance Committee announced in November 2016 and the investigations instituted by the SEC, DOJ, U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, and Brazilian law enforcement officials that are described above. We have responded to the demand. Given the early stages of this matter, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. On September 27, 2017, a hearing panel of the Canadian Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB) issued a decision in a previously pending administrative pricing matter that we had excessively priced SOLIRIS in a manner inconsistent with the Canadian pricing rules and guidelines. In its decision, the PMPRB ordered Alexion to decrease the price of SOLIRIS to an upper limit based upon pricing in certain other countries, and to forfeit excess revenues for the period between 2009 and 2017. The amount of excess revenues for the period between 2009 and 2017 was determined not to be a material amount and was paid in 2018. In October 2017, Alexion filed an application for judicial review of the PMPRB’s decision in the Federal Court of Canada. On May 23, 2019, the Federal Court of Canada dismissed Alexion's application for judicial review and, as a consequence, affirmed the decision of the PMPRB that we had excessively priced SOLIRIS. On June 21, 2019, Alexion filed a notice of appeal of the Federal Court of Canada's ruling, and, on October 17, 2019, Alexion filed a memorandum of fact and law in support of the appeal. On December 3, 2019, the Attorney General of Canada filed its memorandum of fact and law in support of the Federal Court of Canada's dismissal of Alexion's appeal of the PMPRB's decision. On December 19, 2019, the intervenor, the Minister of Health for the Province of British Columbia, filed a separate memorandum of fact and law in support of the Federal Court of Canada's decision. The Canadian Federal Court of Appeal heard the appeal on October 21 and 22, 2020, but has not issued a decision as of the date of this filing. Pursuant to an order made by the Federal Court of Canada, as of April 28, 2021, we have placed approximately $80.9 in escrow to secure our obligations pending the final resolution of all appeals in this matter. This amount reflects the difference between the list price for SOLIRIS and the price determined by the PMPRB to be non-excessive for sales of SOLIRIS in Canada for the period beginning September 2017 through March 31, 2021. In addition, on a quarterly basis, until the appeals process has concluded, Alexion will be required to place amounts into escrow for each vial of SOLIRIS sold in the applicable quarter equal to the difference between the list price for SOLIRIS and the price determined by the PMPRB to be non-excessive. Our revenues in Canada have been reduced by $54.7 cumu latively to date, which is our current best estimate of our liability through March 31, 2021 if we lose the appeal of this matter (the amount of our ultimate liability, however, may be greater than this estimate when the appeal process for this matter is concluded). Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has filed three lawsuits against Alexion. The first was filed in November 2018 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. alleging that ULTOMIRIS infringes one U.S. patent held by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Upon issuance of a new U.S. patent on November 12, 2019, Chugai filed a second lawsuit in the United States alleging that ULTOMIRIS infringes the new patent. The parties have agreed to consolidate the November 2018 and November 2019 lawsuits. Chugai filed a third lawsuit in December 2018 in the Tokyo District Court against Alexion Pharma GK (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alexion) in Japan, and alleges that ULTOMIRIS infringes two Japanese patents held by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Chugai’s complaints seek unspecified damages and certain injunctive relief. On March 5, 2020, the Supreme Court of Japan dismissed Chugai's appeal against an earlier IP High Court of Japan decision which held that one of the Chugai patents-in-suit is invalid. Subsequently Chugai filed a correction to the claims of this patents-in-suit and Alexion has countered that the corrected claims are still invalid and not infringed. In all cases, Alexion has denied the charges and countered that the patents are neither valid nor infringed. A trial date for the U.S. case which was initially set for July 2021 has been re-scheduled for January 2022. The case is still at the briefing stage in Japan. Given the early stages of these litigations, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. In connection with an ongoing matter, in August 2019, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service provided a Notice of Tax and Description of the Facts (the “Tax Assessment”) to two Alexion subsidiaries (the "Brazil Subsidiaries"), as well as to two additional entities, a logistics provider utilized by Alexion and a distributor. The Tax Assessment focuses on the importation of SOLIRIS vials pursuant to Alexion’s free drug supply to patients program (referred to as Global Access to Medicines, or GATM) in Brazil. In September 2019, the Brazil Subsidiaries filed defenses to the Tax Assessment disputing the basis for liability under the Tax Assessment, based on, among others, the following: in connection with the operation of GATM, during the period from September 2014 to June 2019: (i) the importers responsible for the importation of the GATM SOLIRIS vials into Brazil were correctly identified and (ii) the correct customs value was utilized for the purpose of importing the GATM SOLIRIS vials provided to the patients free of charge. Alexion prevailed in the first level of administrative appeals in the Brazilian federal administrative proceeding system based on a deficiency in the Brazil Tax Assessment. The decision was subject to an automatic ( ex officio ) appeal to the second level of the administrative courts. On March 30, 2021, counter-arguments against the ex officio appeal were filed on behalf of the Brazil Subsidiaries. There are three separate levels of administrative appeals within the Brazilian federal administrative proceeding system and, if the outcome of these administrative appeals is unfavorable, the final decision of the federal administrative proceeding system can be disputed to the federal court systems in Brazil (at this time, Alexion intends to appeal the Tax Assessment if it is not overturned in the course of administrative appeals). Given the early stage of these proceedings, Alexion is unable to predict the duration, scope or outcome of this matter, but we expect that a final resolution will take three years or more. While it is possible that a loss related to the Tax Assessment may be incurred, given its ongoing nature, we cannot reasonably estimate the potential magnitude of any such possible loss or range of loss, or the cost of the ongoing administrative appeals (and potential appeals to the federal court system) of the Tax Assessment. Any determination that any aspects of the importation of free of charge medications into Brazil as set forth in the Tax Assessment are not, or were not, in compliance with existing laws or regulations could result in the imposition of fines, civil penalties and, potentially criminal penalties, and/or other sanctions against us, and could have an adverse impact on our Brazilian operations. In connection with Alexion’s acquisition of Portola, we have assumed litigation to which Portola was a party. Among the li tigation assumed is a securities fraud class action filed against Portola and certain of its officers, directors and underwriters (“Defendants”) under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, on January 16, 2020, February 7, 2020, and February 28, 2020, stockholders filed three putative class actions in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Hayden v. Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 3:20-cv-00367-VC (N.D. Cal.); McCutcheon v. Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 3:20-cv-00949 (N.D. Cal.) ; and Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority v. Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. , No. 3:20-cv-01501 (N.D. Cal.). These cases have since been consolidated, and on April 22, 2020, the Court issued an Order appointing the Alameda County Employees’ Retirement Association (“ACERA”) as Lead Plaintiff in the litigation. ACERA filed its amended consolidated complaint on May 20, 2020, asserting that Defendants made misrepresentations and omissions in public disclosures (including in materials issued in connection with the August 7, 2019 securities offering) concerning Portola’s sales of andexanet alfa, marketed as ANDEXXA in the United States and ONDEXXYA in Europe, between January 8, 2019 and February 26, 2020. Specifically, plaintiffs allege that Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements about the demand for ANDEXXA, usage of ANDEXXA by hospitals and healthcare organizations, and about Portola’s accounting for its return reserves. Plaintiffs contend that the alleged fraud was revealed on January 9, 2020, when Portola announced its preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter of 2019, and again on February 26, 2020, when Portola issued its fourth quarter 2019 financial results. In July 2020, Portola and the Portola Defendants filed a motion to dismiss with the Court. The court heard oral argument on September 24, 2020 and granted defendants’ pending motion to dismiss, but with leave for plaintiffs to amend further their complaint. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on November 5, 2020. In December 2020, Portola and Portola Defendants filed a motion to dismiss with the Court. A hearing occurred on March 4, 2021, and the Court dismissed the case with leave to amend on March 10, 2021. The Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on March 31, 2021. Portola and the Portola Defendants must file a motion to dismiss by May 5, 2021, with the opposition scheduled to be filed by June 9,2021, and the reply scheduled to be filed by June 30, 2021. A hearing is scheduled for July 22, 2021. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified monetary relief, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Given the early stage of these proceedings, we cannot presently predict the likelihood of obtaining dismissal of the case (or the ultimate outcome of the case if that motion to dismiss is denied by the court), nor can we estimate the possible loss or range of loss at this time. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement with AstraZeneca, nine complaints have been filed by purported Alexion stockholders against Alexion and its current or former directors, and, in certain cases, AstraZeneca and the Merger Subs. The complaints are captioned Votto v. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-02067 (S.D.N.Y); Wang v. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-02095 (S.D.N.Y.); Wei v. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-02100 (S.D.N.Y.); Naquin v. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-02119 (S.D.N.Y.); Raul v. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-02238 (S.D.N.Y.); Parshall v. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-02670 (S.D.N.Y.); Davis v. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-01429 (E.D.N.Y.); Kent v. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-00441 (D. Del.); McKenzie v. Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. 2:21-cv-01515 (E.D. Pa.). The complaints generally allege that the preliminary registration statement filed with the SEC on February 19, 2021, omitted certain allegedly material information in connection with the transaction, and one of the complaints further alleges that the Alexion directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the transaction and that AstraZeneca and the other entity defendants aided and abetted the alleged breaches. The lawsuits seek various remedies, including enjoining the consummation of the transaction unless certain allegedly material information is disclosed, directing dissemination of additional allegedly material disclosures, rescission of the transaction, or rescissory damages in the event the transaction is consummated without such disclosures, and an accounting to the plaintiffs for any damages allegedly suffered. Given the early stage of the proceedings, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial statements for interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future periods. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and updated, as necessary in this report. The financial statements of our subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, historical exchange rates for stockholders' equity and weighted average exchange rates for operating results. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations in other income and expense. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Caelum Biosciences (Caelum), a variable interest entity (VIE) for which we are the primary beneficiary, refer to Note 10, Caelum Biosciences . All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" : In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform, including optional expedients and exceptions for the accounting implications of contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this new standard only apply to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the standard do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. We are currently reviewing our contracts impacted by reference rate reform and are assessing the impact of this standard on our financial condition and results of operations. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, “Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”: In December 2019, the FASB issued a new standard intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new standard also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our financial condition and results of operations. ASU 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging - Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815” : In January 2020, the FASB issued a new standard intended to clarify the interactions between Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 321, ASC 323 and ASC 815. The new standard addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measurement of certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires changes to be made prospectively. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our financial condition and results of operations. |
