Pfizer is investigating a study medicine, PF-08634404, which is a bispecific antibody that was designed to target both PD-1 and VEGF to potentially block immune checkpoints and inhibit angiogenesis. This dual mechanism has the potential to achieve tumor immunosurveillance, while disrupting vascular support for tumor progression, compared with blocking either target alone in patients with solid tumors.
The study medicine is currently being studied in various cancer types, including lung, colorectal, urothelial, renal, hepatocellular carcinomas, gastric, gastroesophageal junction and esophageal carcinomas, and endometrial cancer.
