The present disclosure relates to the pharmaceutical use of antagonists (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof) that specifically bind to FAM19A5 to treat a retinopathy (e.g., diabetic retinopathy) and/or maculopathy (e.g., age-related macular degeneration) in a subject in need thereof.

Use of anti-FAM19A5 antibodies

The present disclosure relates to the pharmaceutical use of antagonists (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof) that specifically bind to FAM19A5 to treat an atherosclerosis in a subject in need thereof.

Use of anti-FAM19A5 antibodies for treating atherosclerosis

The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to human FAM19A5 and compositions comprising such antibodies. In a specific aspect, the antibodies specifically bind to human FAM19A5 and modulate FAM19A5 activity, e.g., inhibit, suppress, reduce, or reverse the onset of reactive gliosis and/or excessive proliferation of reactive astrocytes, utilizing such antibodies. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating disorders, such as central nervous system damage, a degenerative brain disorder, or a neuropathic pain, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to human FAM19A5.

Anti-family with sequence similarity 19, member A5 antibodies and method of use thereof

The present disclosure relates to the pharmaceutical use of antagonists (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof) that specifically bind to FAM19A5 to treat or to diagnose a fibrosis and/or a fibrosis-associated disease in a subject in need thereof.

Use of anti-FAM19A5 antibodies for treating fibrosis

The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to human FAM19A5 and compositions comprising such antibodies. In a specific aspect, antibodies are deimmunized to reduce immunogenicity in a human subject. In some embodiments, the anti-FAM19A5 antibodies can modulate FAM19A5 activity, e.g., inhibit, suppress, reduce, or reverse the onset of reactive gliosis and/or excessive proliferation of reactive astrocytes, utilizing such antibodies. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating disorders, such as central nervous system damage, a degenerative brain disorder, a neuropathic pain, or a cancer, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to human FAM19A5.

The present disclosure relates to the pharmaceutical use of antagonists (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof) that specifically bind to FAM19A5 to treat a glaucoma in a subject in need thereof.

Use of anti-family with sequence similarity 19, member A5 antibodies for the treatment of glaucoma

The present disclosure provides a method for the treatment of a neuropathic pain including a central neuropathic pain or a peripheral neuropathic pain in a subject comprising the administration of antibodies that specifically bind to human FAM19A5 and compositions comprising such antibodies. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating a neuropathic pain including a symptom of neuropathic pain, and/or an underlining cause of a neuropathic pain, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to human FAM19A5. In a specific aspect, the method comprises administering antibodies specifically bind to human FAM19A5, e.g., binds to soluble human FAM19A5 with a Kof 10 nM or less, or binds to membrane bound human FAM19A5 with a Kof 10 nM or less, or both, as measured by a method known in the art, e.g., ELISA.

Use of anti-family with sequence similarity 19, member A5 antibodies for the treatment of neuropathic pain

The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to human FAM19A5 and compositions comprising such antibodies. Also provided herein are methods for treating fibrosis or cancer using the anti-FAM19A5 antibodies.

Anti-FAM19A5 antibodies and uses thereof

The present disclosure relates to the pharmaceutical use of antagonists (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof) that specifically bind to FAM19A5 to promote a blood vessel normalization and treat a disease (e.g., cancer) in a subject in need thereof, e.g., by promoting a blood vessel normalization.
