Antiangiogenesis and Lymphoma

Investigational Agents | Angiogenesis and Lymphoma? | Related Abstracts

The goal of antiangiogenic therapies is to stop or inhibit blood supply to the tumors.  This is an experimental approach, for which the potential for clinical benefit is not proven and is likely to vary among lymphoma subtypes.  See Investigational Agents below for information on experimental agents, which ncludes links to clinical trials.

Starve a tumor, or feed a tumor? - innovations-report.de
"The tumor is meaner if it’s hypoxic," Okunieff says. "Oxygen is by far the most powerful molecule for making cells vulnerable to radiation. Tumor cells that survive hypoxic conditions are often the cells that are most aggressive, most hardy, and most likely to go out and start new cancer colonies," he says. They’re also the tumor cells most likely to have mutations that make them prone to spreading."

NOTE:  At least one study has shown an association between high density microvessel and an improved response to treatment in follicular lymphoma.  abstracts2view.com/
Some papers on blood vessel formation and lymphoma:
bullet
Microvessel density has been measured in various types of lymphoma tissue 48, 49
bullet
Angiogenic growth factors (such as bFGF, VEGF), associated with angiogenesis, 
rise when lymphoma progresses 7.

Also see related articles below.

Possible mechanisms of antiangiogenic drugs: 
bullet
Slow or stop tumor growth indefinitely.
bullet
Slow growth and enhance the efficacy of other treatments.
bullet
Directly attack tumor vascular targets to kill existing tumors.

ABT-510  AGENT SEARCH: ASCO | ClinicalTrials.gov
 
"an investigational angiogenesis inhibitor, that belongs to a class of drugs that works by cutting off the blood supply that feeds tumors. Mimicking the behavior of a natural anti-angiogenic protein, thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), ABT-510 is being evaluated to determine its potential to block multiple pro-angiogenic growth factors including VEGF, bFGF and IL-8. ABT-510 currently is being studied in Phase II clinical trials in various cancers including sarcoma, lymphoma, and kidney cancer." - yahoo.c

bullet
Alpha interferon AGENT SEARCH: ASCO | ASH | ClinicalTrials.gov | PubMed
 

"IFN-alpha confers its antitumor activity, at least in part, by its antiangiogenic activity, which results from Sp1- and/or Sp3-mediated inhibition of VEGF gene transcription.." - NCI 
bullet
Bevacizumab AGENT SEARCH: ASCO | ASH | ClinicalTrials.gov | PubMed
 

"Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) patients with a high serum VEGF levels have an inferior overall survival compared to patients with low VEGF levels." - ASH 
    CC-5013 (Revlimid, lenalidomide) AGENT SEARCH: ASH | ASCO | Medscape | ClinicalTrials.gov | Web

    Thalidomide appears to stop endothelial cells from forming new blood vessels and is a treatment for multiple myeloma and other types of cancer. However, it is harmful to fetuses, so women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant should not take thalidomide. Lenalidomide (Revlimid), a drug that is similar to thalidomide, is potentially more active than thalidomide and is being tested in clinical trials - http://www.plwc.org 
  • Cilengitide (EMD 121974) AGENT SEARCH: ASCO | ASH | ClinicalTrials.gov | PubMed
     
    Cilengitide (EMD 121974) inhibits two receptor proteins (proteins on cell surface), called integrins αvβ3 and αvβ5, which appear to be important in the process of angiogenesis. Cilengitide has been shown to inhibit angiogenesis and growth of several different experimental tumors in animals. - Clinicaltrials.gov
  • Combretastatin AGENT SEARCH:  PubMed
     
    Combretastatin A-4 disodium phosphate (CA4DP), the lead compound in this series, has shown potent antivascular and antitumor effects in a wide variety of preclinical tumor models.[77] Three phase I clinical trials of CA4DP involving a total of 96 patients with advanced cancers have been reported.[78-80] Tumor pain was a unique side effect of combretastatin in these studies. In one study, 1 patient with anaplastic thyroid cancer had a complete response.[78] Dose dependent reductions in tumor blood flow have been shown by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and PET at doses that were reasonably well tolerated by patients.[78,81-82] - http://www.medscape.com/viewprogram/3667_pnt

    "
    LY317615 is a selective inhibitor of protein kinase Cβ with antiangiogenic activity as confirmed by its ability to inhibit VEGF-stimulated microvessel formation in rat corneal micropocket assays." - ASCO
  • MS-275 and Isotretinoin AGENT SEARCH: ClinicalTrials.gov | Web

    MS-275 and isotretinoin may also stop the growth of solid tumors or lymphomas by stopping blood flow to the cancer.
