Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The CFH therapeutic landscape is bifurcating between replacement strategies for complement-mediated renal and ocular diseases (aHUS, C3G, dry AMD) and inhibitory approaches for immuno-oncology. Following setbacks in recombinant protein replacement (GEM103 discontinuation), the field is pivoting toward gene therapy delivery (AAV-CFH) for durable expression in rare diseases, while oncology programs leverage monoclonal antibodies to block CFH-mediated tumor protection and unleash complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). The next wave of R&D focuses on SCR-domain selective modulation to preserve host regulation while targeting pathological surfaces. Localized delivery to the eye for geographic atrophy (GA) and systemic regulation for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and C3 glomerulopathy remain key areas, with gene therapy (e.g., Gyroscope Therapeutics) and small-molecule pathway inhibitors (e.g., Novartis) adding diversity to the pipeline.
