About TB-403

TB-403 was in-licensed by ThromboGenics from the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) at the University of Leuven, Belgium, where the therapeutic potential of anti-PlGF agents to treat cancer was first developed in the laboratory of Prof. Peter Carmeliet.

Angiogenesis inhibitors such as TB-403 are therapeutic agents that work by blocking the development of new blood vessels, thereby depriving growing cancer tumour cells of oxygen and nutrients. This approach in turn is thought to stop the tumour from growing and spreading to other parts of the body. PlGF is a homologue of VEGF and current preclinical evidence suggests that it may not affect normal, physiological angiogenesis and is predominantly involved in angiogenesis of malignant tissue.

About ThromboGenics

ThromboGenics is a biotechnology company focused on discovery and development of biopharmaceuticals for the treatment of a range of vascular diseases. The Company has several programs in Phase II clinical development including microplasmin, which is being evaluated as a treatment for vitreoretinal disorders and as a thrombolytic agent for vascular occlusive diseases, including acute stroke. ThromboGenics is also developing novel antibody therapeutics in collaboration with BioInvent International; these include TB-402 (Anti-Factor VIII), scheduled to enter Phase II clinical development in 2008, and TB-403 (Anti-PlGF). ThromboGenics and BioInvent have recently signed a license agreement with Roche for TB-403 worth EUR 500 million plus royalties. TB-403 is scheduled to enter a Phase Ib clinical t
