## Complement Inhibitors: A Wave of Innovation in Rare and Chronic Disease Treatment
The complement system, a vital part of our immune defense, plays a crucial role in fighting off infections and maintaining tissue health. However, when this system malfunctions, it can lead to the development of a range of serious diseases, including rare conditions like paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), as well as more common illnesses like age-related macular degeneration and lupus nephritis.
Fortunately, a new generation of therapies, known as complement inhibitors, is emerging to address these challenging conditions. These drugs target key proteins in the complement cascade, preventing the overactivation that causes tissue damage and disease progression. The growing understanding of the intricate workings of the complement system has fueled a surge in research and development, leading to a dynamic landscape of promising complement inhibitors currently in clinical trials.
