EVT801, a novel selective VEGFR-3 inhibitor targeting tumor angiogenesis, started enrollment for its phase I first-in-human study (AACR 2022)
A potential third stage, consisting of a multiple ascending dose evaluation of the combination of EVT801 with immuno-oncology drugs, may be added to the ongoing trial, pending further technical discussions with physicians and regulators. In addition to conventional measures of safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics, the phase I study will employ a rich suite of histological, immunological, and radiological biomarkers to provide early insights into the activity of EVT801.
