Abstract
In some aspects, the present invention provides compositions and methods of treatment comprising long-acting compstatin analogs. In some aspects, long-acting compstatin analogs comprise a clearance-reducing moiety attached to two compstatin analog moieties, wherein each compstatin analog moiety comprises a cyclic peptide comprising the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 28 extended by a lysine residue or a sequence comprising a lysine residue at the N-terminus, C-terminus, or both, wherein the lysine residue is separated from the cyclic portion of the peptide by a spacer comprising 8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid (AEEAc) moiety, the clearance reducing moiety comprises a polymer, wherein each end of the polymer is linked to one of the compstatin analog moieties by way of a linker moiety that is or comprises a carbamate, and wherein the polymer is a PEG having an average molecular weight of about 40 kDa.
