  • Publication number: 20240076408
    Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the effects of MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a living subject. The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation. In some embodiments, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent inhibits cellular injury associated with MASP-2-mediated alternative complement pathway activation, while leaving the classical (C1q-dependent) pathway component of the immune system intact. In another aspect, the invention provides compositions for inhibiting the effects of lectin-dependent complement activation, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

  • Publication number: 20210315736
    Abstract: Provided are multi-wavelength phototherapy devices, systems and methods for the treatment of a disorder or disease, including multi-wavelength low level light therapy (“PBM”), in particular to multi-wavelength PBM and other phototherapy systems and methods for improving functionality in and/or restoring functionality to a cell and/or tissue through the coordinated and targeted delivery to the cell or tissue of two or more doses of light having distinct wavelengths, wherein the two or more doses of light, when delivered in a coordinated fashion, can stimulate the activity of two or more light sensitive factors that, when activated, provide and/or enhance a desired target cell functionality. Ophthalmic phototherapy devices, systems, and treatment methods to expose an eye to selected multi-wavelengths of light to promote the healing of damaged or diseased eye tissue.

  • Publication number: 20210178178
    Abstract: Methods for treating ocular diseases such as dry age-related macular degeneration include administering non-invasive photobiomodulation light therapy in the context of a prior PBM treatment, on the basis of a subject response to prior PBM treatment, on the basis of a patient pre-treatment characteristic, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, methods comprise administering PBM therapy to subjects who have received PBM about four to six months prior to the present administering. In some embodiments, methods comprise administering PBM therapy to subjects in early stages of dry age-related macular degeneration.
