Anti–VEGFR-2 Antibody Reduces Tumor Interstitial Pressure Treatment with anti–VEGFR-2 antibody led to a rapid reduction in murine lung and glioma tumor interstitial pressures. From Tong et al. Cancer Res. 2004;64:3731-3736, with permission.Ellis. Horizons in Cancer Therapeutics. 2004;5(2):4-10.
PTK787/ZK 222584 Reduces Liver Metastasis Ki PTK787/ZK 222584 reduced perfusion parameters (Ki) in nonprogressing patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis. From Morgan et al. J Clin Oncol. 2003;21:3955-3964,with permission. Ellis. Horizons in Cancer Therapeutics. 2004;5(2):4-10.
Modulating VEGF/VEGFR Signaling Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor (VEGFR) signaling modulation approaches include targeting VEGF/VEGFR with antibodies, reducing VEGF expression with fusion proteins, using ribozymes to decrease receptor expression and activation, and reducing receptor activation and downstream signaling. TKI = tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Steward. Horizons in Cancer Therapeutics. 2004;5(2):11-21.
PTK787/ZK 222584 (PTK/ZK) significantly inhibited human DU-145 prostate cancer xenografts in nude mice. Tumor growth resumed on cessation of treatment, demonstrating the cytostatic rather than cytotoxic effects of PTK/ZK. From Bold et al. Prous Sci Drugs Future. 2002;27:43-55, with permission. Steward.
