Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for Complement Factor D therapeutics has entered a critical phase with the recent approval of first-in-class oral inhibitors. The landscape is shifting from paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) toward geographic atrophy (GA) in age-related macular degeneration and rare kidney diseases. As first-generation small molecules establish clinical proof-of-concept, the next wave of R&D is targeting combination regimens with C5 inhibitors and novel modalities including siRNA-based hepatic silencing.
