1 Anti-angiogenic agents: where we are? Martin Reck Department of Thoracic Oncology Hospital Grosshansdorf Germany Angiogenesis and tumor growth Journal of experimental Medicine 1972; 133:

2 Angiogenesis is a tightly regulated balance The angiogenic switch On Off = Pro-angiogenic factors (e.g. VEGF, PlGF, bfgf, IL-8) = Anti-angiogenic factors (e.g. thrombospondin-1, angiostatin, IFN-a/b) Hanahan, Folkman. Cell 1996 Targets of Antiangiogenic Therapy VEGF Antibodies VEGF Receptor TKI Vascular Damaging Agents (VDA) Scappaticci, F. A. J Clin Oncol; 20:

6 Bevacizumab Predictive Marker? Selection driven by safety factors (histology, cardiovascular comorbidity, bleeding risk) No predictive marker for efficacy Conclusion Biomarker Avail-Trial: Biomarker involved in angiogenic pathways may play a prognostic role in patients with advanced NSCLC. The role of angiogenic biomarker will be further evaluated (Leighl N et al, ESMO-ECCO 2009) ABIGAIL (BO21015): phase II biomarker trial Previously untreated stage IIIB/IV non-squamous NSCLC (n=300) Bevacizumab 7.5mg/kg + carboplatin/gemcitabine or carboplatin/paclitaxel Bevacizumab 15mg/kg + carboplatin/gemcitabine or carboplatin/paclitaxel Bevacizumab every 3 weeks until progression Bevacizumab every 3 weeks until progression PD PD Primary endpoint: correlation of biomarkers with RR Primary markers: VEGF-A, svegf receptor 1, svegf receptor 2, PlGF, E- selectin Other markers: ICAM, VCAM, bfgf, oestrogen and related receptors, tissue factors 6
