First-in-human phase I dose escalation trial of the first-in-class tumor microenvironment modulator VT1021 in advanced solid tumors

Abstract Background VT1021 is a cyclic peptide that induces the expression of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) in myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) recruited to the tumor microenvironment (TME). TSP-1 reprograms the TME via binding to CD36 and CD47 to induce tumor and endothelial cell apoptosis as we...
