The classical pathway is interrupted, while the alternative and lectin pathways remain intact, True North CEO Nancy Stagliano explained in a phone interview.

Omeros' MASP-2 program has been focused on the development of antibodies that target MASP-2 and its unique role in the activation of the lectin pathway. The Company has conducted a series of in ...

The lectin pathway is homologous to the classical pathway, but with the opsonin, mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolins, instead of C1q. The FDA has now approved seven indications for ...

Plus, it has to be taken every day subcutaneously. On the other hand, DNTH103 avoids targeting the lectin [C5 inhibition seen here] and alternative pathways [c3a, c35a and other pathways seen here].

The lectin pathway is the third pathway in the complement cascade, discovered after the classical and alternative pathways. It more closely resembles the classical pathway due to similar binding ...

In addition to its lectin pathway inhibitors, the company is advancing its development of antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors against MASP-3 to block activation of the alternative pathway.

Omeros also has identified MASP-3 as responsible for the conversion of pro-factor D to factor D and as a critical activator of the human complement system’s alternative pathway.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is the most prevalent glomerulonephritis worldwide that does not have a specific treatment. Its pathogenesis is complex and not well understood, but there is ...
