The present invention further relates to using vaccinia virus complement control protein (VCP), factor H and/or a complement control protein (CCP)-containing protein as modulator of the entry and/or replication of pathogen(s), wherein the pathogen is a virus or bacteria. The present invention further relates to a method of prevention and/or treatment of influenza A virus (IAV) infection in a subject of need thereof and to a method of modulation of the entry and/or replication of pathogen(s) in a subject of need thereof.

The present invention relates to a product comprising (i) an anti-VEGF entity; and (ii) a negative complement regulator, or nucleotide sequences encoding therefor, as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in therapy. In particular, the anti-VEGF entity is an anti-VEGF antibody, preferably aflibercept and the negative complement regulator is Complement Factor I (CFI) or Complement Factor H Like Protein 1 (FHL1). The main uses are for the treatment of eye diseases, in particular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The present disclosure provides methods for treating, preventing, or inhibiting diseases in patients having one or more mutations in complement factor H (CFH), complement component 3 (C3), and complement factor B (CFB) by administering to the patients a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector encoding a CFH polypeptide or biologically active fragment and/or variant thereof.

The present disclosure provides methods for treating, preventing, or inhibiting diseases in patients having one or more mutations in complement factor H (CFH), complement component 3 (C3), and complement factor B (CFB). Also provided are combination therapies comprising a CFH protein and a VEGF antagonist for treating neovascularization-associated ocular diseases.

The present disclosure provides methods for treating, preventing, or inhibiting diseases in patients having one or more mutations in complement factor H (CFH), complement component 3 (C3), and complement factor B (CFB). Also provided are combination therapies comprising a CFH protein and a VEGF antagonist for treating neovascularization-associated ocular diseases.

The present disclosure provides methods for treating, preventing, or inhibiting diseases in patients having one or more CFI mutations.

Disclosed are methods and compositions for the treatment of an individual having neurodegeneration associated with Gaucher's disease and/or different forms of Parkinson's Disease. The disclosed methods and compositions include administering an inhibitor of the C5a pathway to an individual in need thereof, in an amount sufficient to delay onset of and/or alleviate neurodegeneration in the individual having, or suspected of having, Gaucher's disease. Inhibitors of the C5a pathway may include C5a Receptor (C5aR) inhibitors, antagonists of C5aR1, C5aR2, muteins of C5a, and combinations thereof.

The disclosure features novel lipids and compositions involving the same. Nanoparticle compositions include a novel lipid as well as additional lipids such as phospholipids, structural lipids, and PEG lipids. Nanoparticle compositions further including therapeutic and/or prophylactics such as RNA are useful in the delivery of therapeutic and/or prophylactics to mammalian cells or organs to, for example, regulate polypeptide, protein, or gene expression.

Subject matter of the present invention is a binder, e.g. protein or protein fragment, binding to complement-anaphylatoxin C5a and/or C3a and/or C4a and thereby inhibiting the activity of C5a and/or C3a and/or C4a for use in the treatment of a subject having an ocular wound and/or fibrosis.

This invention relates to factor B inhibitors or nucleic acid molecules encoding thereof and selective inhibition of the alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system using said factor B inhibitors or nucleic acid molecules encoding thereof or compositions thereof. The invention also provides methods of treating an AP complement-mediated disease or AP complement-mediated disorder in a subject by administering a therapeutically effective amount of the factor B inhibitor or nucleic acid molecules encoding thereof or composition thereof.
