Abstract

Tumour vasculature targeting has been a very active area of cancer drug discovery over the last decade. Growth of solid tumours beyond a certain point requires a sufficient blood supply in order for them to develop and metastasise. While novel anti-angiogenic and vascular disrupting agents represent an important contribution to the armoury of anti-cancer agents they nevertheless usually require combination with standard cytotoxic therapy in order to demonstrate positive clinical outcomes. In line with this consensus, a new concept has arisen, namely the design of functional hybrids where at least one component of the design targets a tumour angiogenic/vasculature pathway. This review will outline examples of such hybrid/conjugate-based approaches. Emphasis will be placed on their preclinical evaluation with particular focus on the RGD/NGR-conjugates, heparin-related hybrids and antibody-drug conjugates. In conclusion, the benefits and shortcomings of hybrids under development will be discussed in the context of future directions and applications.

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
