1. Aflibercept

 

Aflibercept, VEGF Trap, is a unique fusion protein that binds all forms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is required for the growth of new blood vessels that are needed for tumors to grow and is a potent regulator. Aflibercept is a blocker of VEGF. It traps the VEGF being made by the tumor, stopping it from stimulating the VEGF receptor, and thus preventing the tumor from promoting blood vessel growth. As a consequence, the VEGF Trap inhibited the growth of tumors.
