  • Publication number: 20210292436
    Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods for treating, inhibiting, alleviating, or preventing acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, or some other pulmonary or other manifestation of coronavirus infection, such as thrombosis, in a mammalian subject infected with coronavirus, such as SARS-CoV-2. The methods comprise the step of administering to a subject infected with coronavirus an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation. In one embodiment, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent is a MASP-2 monoclonal antibody, or fragment thereof that specifically binds to a portion of SEQ ID NO:6. In one embodiment, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent is a small molecule MASP-2 inhibitory compound.
