A VEGF receptor vaccine demonstrates preliminary efficacy in neurofibromatosis type 2

The anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody bevacizumab has shown efficacy for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). Here, the authors show that VEGFRs peptide vaccination can improve hearing and reduce tumor volume in NF2 patients, including in previously bevacizumab resi...

Sumario:The anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody bevacizumab has shown efficacy for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). Here, the authors show that VEGFRs peptide vaccination can improve hearing and reduce tumor volume in NF2 patients, including in previously bevacizumab resistant tumors.
