Abstract
The blockade of VEGF pathway has been clinically validated as an initial treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) has been indicated as a key regulator for angiogenesis escape. The effect of a novel bispecific antibody (A2V CrossMab) against both Ang-2 and VEGF was investigated in comparison with either factor. A2V CrossMab significantly reduced tumor volume, vessel density, and interstitial fluid pressure compared to either monotherapy of anti-VEGF or anti-Ang-2. Host-derived angiogenesis-related genes have been significantly down-regulated in A2V CrossMab group. These data demonstrate that A2V CrossMab has additive anti-tumor effect for the treatment of RCC.Entities:
