Abstract
Purpose of Review
The purpose of this review is to discuss the current understanding of the Tie2-angiopoietin system and its role in tumor growth and metastasis. This review also focuses on preclinical and clinical data published to date that have evaluated Tie2-angiopoietin inhibition.
Recent Findings
Tie2 inhibition has shown significant promise in preclinical models, notable for decreased tumor burden and fewer sites of metastatic disease across various malignancies. However, data from human clinical trials have shown more mixed results. Trebananib, rebastanib, and MEDI3617 are the three Tie2-angiopoietin inhibitors that have been most widely evaluated in phase I and II trials. Further investigation into these therapies is ongoing.
Summary
The Tie2-angiopoietin pathway continues to show promise in preclinical and some clinical trials, including studies on recurrent or metastatic breast and renal cell carcinomas. Further evaluation of these therapies, however, is warranted to better understand their optimal clinical utility.
