  • Publication number: 20230416344
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a method of treating a complement mediated disorder caused by a virus, e.g., corona virus; Dengue virus (DENY); Ross River vims (RRV) and/or influenza virus (flu) by administering an effective amount of a complement modulator, such as, e.g., C5 inhibitor, such as eculizumab or an eculizumab variant or a C5a inhibitor such as olendalizumab (ALXN1007) or a variant thereof, to the subject. In addition, the present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a method of treating human patients inflicted with severe coronavirus disease-2019 (severe COVID-19) who is undergoing treatment with eculizumab. The method includes measuring a level of circulating component C5b-9 (membrane attack complex), in the patient's blood sample to titrate an effective eculizumab dose for the treatment of COVID-19.
