    Abstract: Methods are described for administering to a subject an anti-human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a monoclonal antibody. The methods include parenterally administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anti-HPA-1a monoclonal antibody in an amount of about 0.02 ng/mL to about 0.4 ng/mL, and/or an amount effective to achieve a maximum plasma concentration of the anti-HPA-1a monoclonal antibody of about 0.01 IU/mL to about 10 IU/mL in the subject.

  • Publication number: 20240141024
    Abstract: The disclosure provides antibodies that are useful for, among other things, inhibiting terminal complement (e.g., the assembly and/or activity of the C5b-9 TCC) and C5a anaphylatoxin-mediated inflammation and, thus, treating complement-associated disorders. The antibodies have a number of improved properties relative to eculizumab, including, e.g., increased serum half-life in a human.

  • Publication number: 20240018220
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treatment designed to prevent or minimize formation of deleterious multivalent immune complexes in a human patient having a complement mediated disorder (e.g., paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) or atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS)), who has been or is being treated with a first anti-C5 antibody and is then treated with a second (different) anti-C5 antibody, as well as methods of safely switching a patient from treatment with a first anti-C5 antibody to a second (different) anti-C5 antibody. Also provided are methods for determining an adjusted regimen antibody (e.g., a regimen to prevent or minimize formation of multivalent immune complexes) comprising an adjusted therapeutic dose and/or timing of administration of a second anti-C5 to treat a patient who has been or is being treated with a first anti-C5 antibody.
