Abstract

Promising preclinical activity with agents blocking the function of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been observed in various cancer types, especially with combination therapy. However, these drugs decrease microvessel density, and it is not known whether this reduced vessel density (VD) results in decreased delivery of concomitantly administered classical anticancer drugs. We designed an in vivo study to investigate the relation between VEGF-blocking therapy, tumoral blood vessels, and intratumoral uptake of anticancer drugs. Nude NMRI mice bearing colon adenocarcinoma (HT29) were treated with the anti-VEGFmAb A4.6.1 or placebo. After 1 week, CPT-11 was administered 1 h prior to killing the animals. In A4.6.1 treated tumours, there was a significant decrease in VD, more pronounced with potentially functional large vessels than endothelial cords. Interestingly, a trend to increased intratumoral CPT-11 concentration was observed (P=0.09). In parallel, we measured an increase in tumour perfusion, as estimated by high-performance liquid chromatography determination of intratumoural Hoechst 33342 concentration. In the growth delay study, CPT-11 was at least equally effective with or without pretreatment with A4.6.1. These data suggest that tumour vascular function and tumour uptake of anticancer drugs improve with VEGF-blocking therapy, and indicate the relevance for further investigations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
