Pieris Strengthens its Management, as it Prepares for the Clinical Development of PRS-050, an Anticalin(R)-Based Novel Cancer Therapy
Date:11/8/2007

vasculature - plays an important role in several diseases. Although various pro- and anti-angiogenic factors have been identified, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been implicated as the key pro-angiogenic factor in cancer.

The PRS-050 program has been designed to develop Anticalins(R) that specifically bind and block the signalling activity of VEGF in cancer. PRS-050, an Anticalin with extended serum half-life, exhibits comparable binding and functional in vitro activity to currently approved VEGF antagonists. Potent inhibition of VEGF-induced enhanced vascular permeability and angiogenesis, as well as anti-tumour activity, have already been demonstrated by PRS-050 in various well-validated preclinical studies.

Pieris' PRS-050 program exploits a number of favourable characteristics of Anticalins, including compact protein structure, high intrinsic stability, broad formulation flexibility and small molecular size, to develop more effective products for the penetration of neovascularized tumour tissue.
