General information

Class/mechanism: Recombinant fusion protein between the Fc portion of human IgG1 and the extracellular domains of VEGF receptor 1 & 2 (VEGFR 1 & VEGFR 2), which binds VEGF-A and VEGF-B (vascular endothelial growth factor), as well as PGF (placental growth factor). By binding to and inhibiting these angiogenic growth factors, their neovascular activity, and vascular permeability, ziv-aflibercept inhibits tumor angiogenesis.[1][2]
