C3 is a key complement protein, located at the nexus of all complement activation pathways. Extracellular, tissue, cell-derived, and intracellular C3 plays critical roles in the immune response that is dysregulated in many diseases, making it an attractive therapeutic target.
Currently, Apellis' pegcetacoplan is the only C3 inhibitor approved in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and geographic atrophy, with brand name EMPAVELI and SYFOVRE, respectively.
A few of the potential emerging C3 complement inhibitors are Arrowhead's ARO-C3 (RNAi based C3 inhibitor), and Amyndas' AMY-101.
Both ARO-C3 and AMY-101 are currently being investigated in a Phase I study for C3 Glomerulopathy (C3G) and IgA Nephropathy (IgAN).
The market size of C3 complement inhibitor is expected to increase at a steady growth rate, owing to anticipated commercial success of emerging and marketed therapies in multiple complement dysregulated disorders during our forecast period (2024-2034).

C3 Complement Inhibitors Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
C3 Complement Inhibitors Overview
Three major pathways of complement which are the classical, alternative and lectin pathways converge on complement C3. As the central component among the intricate protein network of the complement system, C3 is associated with diverse immunomodulatory system and biological process that affect human physiology and pathophysiology, thereby representing a 'hot-spot' for current complement-targeted therapeutic intervention. It is the most abundant complement protein which mediates numerous protective effects or pathological effects of complement. C3 plays roles in complement cascade by active fragments or complexes, which are achieved through a panel of enzyme processing procedure. C4b2a is C3 convertase (C3-cleaving enzyme) that triggers the activation in classical (antibody) or lectin (sugar) pathways, whereas in the alternative pathway that is C3bBb.The alternative pathway, triggered by spontaneous hydrolysis of C3 to C3-H2O, also generates C3 convertase (C3(H2O)Bb), leading to C3 cleavage and amplification. The resulting C3b facilitates further complement activation, including the formation of the MAC complex, essential for cell membrane permeation and lysis.
C3 Complement Inhibitors Treatment
Apellis' pegcetacoplan is currently the only approved C3 inhibitor in the complement dysregulation disorder market. On February 17, 2023, FDA approved SYFOVRE (pegcetacoplan) for the treatment of Geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration. The FDA previously approved pegcetacoplan (EMPAVELI) as a therapy for adult patients with PNH who are treatment naive and those switching from treatment with SOLIRIS (eculizumab) and ULTOMIRIS (ravulizumab). Pegcetacoplan works by inhibiting C3 to regulate downstream immune response in the complement system. Dysregulated activation of this system can cause both inflammation and damage to motor neurons.
C3 Complement Inhibitors Drug Chapters
The drug chapter segment of the complement inhibitors reports encloses a detailed analysis of complement inhibitors' marketed drugs and late-stage (Phase I and Phase II) pipeline drugs. It also helps understand the complement inhibitors' clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, approval and patent details, advantages and disadvantages of each included drug and the latest news and press releases.
Marketed Drugs
Pegcetacoplan - Apellis
In 2021, EMPAVELI (pegcetacoplan) became the first C3 compliment inhibitor, administered subcutaneously, to be approved by the FDA for the treatment of PNH. Later, in 2023, Apellis launched it under a different brand name, SYFOVRE (pegcetacoplan injection), for the treatment of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
EMPAVELI is available only through a restricted program under a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy. Meningococcal (a type of bacteria) infections can occur in patients taking Empaveli and can become life-threatening or fatal if not treated early.
Pegcetacoplan binds to C3 and its activation fragment C3b, thereby inhibiting the cleavage of C3 into C3a and C3b, and the downstream effectors of complement activation, leading to regulation of MAC-mediated intravascular haemolysis and C3-mediated extravascular haemolysis.
Emerging Drugs
ARO-C3: Arrowhead
ARO-C3 is designed to reduce production of complement component 3 as a potential treatment for various complement mediated diseases. It uses a technology called RNA interference (RNAi). When a gene is read to produce a protein, the code providing instructions for making the protein is copied into a temporary molecule called messenger RNA. This RNA molecule is then used by other cell machinery components as a template for making the protein.The basic idea behind RNAi therapies such as ARO-C3 is to inactivate the messenger RNA of a specific gene, in order to reduce the amount of protein that is produced.
The ARO-C3 is currently being investigated in a Phase I study involving adult patients with complement-mediated renal disease (C3 Glomerulopathy and IgA Nephropathy).
C3 Complement Inhibitors Market Outlook
The approval of Apellis' pegcetacoplan in Geographic atrophy and PNH has set a positive example for other companies who are investigating their drugs in multiple complement mediated diseases.
Furthermore, since C5 inhibitors are associated with heterogeneous responses among patients, C3 offers a potent alternative to the current C5 inhibitors such as SOLIRIS and ULTOMIRIS.
Also, since PNH and aHUS has already been crowded with a lot of marketed/emerging drugs, and anticipated generic entrants, the companies have now shifted their focus to other complement dysregulation disorders, including but not limited to C3G, IgA-N, and Geographic Atrophy.
Besides major players, small pharma companies are currently exploring RNAi based C3 inhibitors, with an aim to offer a more robust product with better clinical efficacy.

Below are the highlights of the results:
The primary endpoint was met, with a significant proportion of patients showing a reduction in C3c staining after 12 weeks.
Furthermore, 55% of patients, including those with IC-MPGN, showed zero C3c staining intensity, suggesting clearance of C3c deposits
October 2023 - Apellis announced that the FDA has approved the EMPAVELI Injector for PNH patients. The EMPAVELI Injector is the first high-volume (20mL), subcutaneous on-body delivery system, which is developed in collaboration with Enable Injections, based on the enFuse(R) Syringe Transfer System.
