Positive results using Affitech-identified human antibody that blocks VEGF binding to VEGF receptor 2
The R3 antibody, which was generated by Affitech's phagemid antibody library screening method, when tested by Peregrine on a pancreatic cancer model, showed significant reduction of the growth, vascularization and macrophage infiltration of pancreatic tumors in mice. This is the first antibody from Affitech's library that has been tested in a preclinical development model. Peregrine announced that the positive results of R3 antibody support the Company's intent to progress its anti-VEGF program towards clinical trials.
