Steven D. Podos has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12239645
    Abstract: The dosages and methods described herein provide desirable pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) characteristics which inhibit alternative pathway complement activity, for example at least 85% or more inhibition of AP activity in vivo at dosages from about 120 mg to 200 mg BID that provides a plasma level Ctrough at least about 65 ng/ml, which provides sufficient AP inhibition to reduce the risk of complement breakthrough. In addition, the dosage form described herein provides a significantly low Cmax, providing additional safety margin and better dosing flexibility.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 17, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 4, 2025
    Assignee: Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
    Inventors: Mingjun Huang, Steven D. Podos
  • Publication number: 20250032490
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating a subject with PNH comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of complement component C5 (C5) inhibitor, complement component C3 (C3) inhibitor, or complement factor B (CFB) inhibitor in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of small molecule complement factor D (CFD) inhibitor of Formula I or Formula II, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

  • Publication number: 20210215714
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for using determinative urinary biomarkers for identifying a human subject suffering from an alternative pathway (AP)-associated nephropathy. Also provided herein is a method for using determinative urinary biomarkers to determine whether a human subject suffering from a complement mediated nephropathy is likely to respond to an inhibitor of the alternative complement pathway (“AP”) in treating the complement mediated nephropathy. Further provided herein is a method for using urinary biomarkers to assess the therapeutic response of a human subject suffering from an AP-associated nephropathy receiving inhibitors of the complement alternative pathway (AP inhibitors).
