@LambrisJD Delighted to participate in this project unraveling new mechanistic insights into C3-mediated inflammatory and fibrotic responses. Many congrats to all collaborators!!

Pleased to share our newly published paper entitled: "Clinical C3 Inhibition With AMY-101 Reveals Novel Insights Into IL-8–Driven Inflammation in COVID-19" https://t.co/1J9GwLuJyG
This work, which was done a few years back, investigated the effects of AMY-101 in treating severe COVID-19, with a focus on understanding how C3 inhibition modulates key elements of IL-8–driven inflammation in these patients. It builds on the promising biological readouts of the ITHACA Phase II trial (see here: https://t.co/BwGnvZBJ81) by providing new mechanistic insight that positions C3 activation at the heart of cytokine-driven proinflammatory pathways that can exacerbate lung pathology and neutrophil-driven thromboinflammation across various organs.
The study showed that AMY-101 administration not only reduced markers of systemic inflammation, including NETs, CRP, and ferritin but also modulated IL-8, a major chemoattractant for neutrophils. It identified fibroblasts as a major source of increased IL-8 in severe COVID-19 and showed that C3 inhibition can broadly attenuate the proinflammatory consequences of the deregulated fibroblast-IL-8-neutrophil axis in severe COVID-19.
These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of C3 targeting in COVID-19 and other neutrophil-driven inflammatory and fibrotic disorders. Moreover, they reveal a crucial mechanistic connection between C3 activation and IL-8–mediated immune responses.
