About VT1021
Vigeo’s lead molecule, VT1021, is a small peptide agent derived from prosaposin (Psap) that triggers Tsp-1 production, which in turn reprograms the tumor microenvironment and makes it inhospitable for tumor growth. Pre-clinical results have demonstrated that VT1021, when administered systemically, can cause tumor regression in animal models at both the primary and metastatic sites. VT1021 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1, open label, multicenter trial that assesses the drug’s safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy. The trial’s dose escalation phase was launched in late 2017, and the expansion phase will begin in the fourth quarter of 2019. An interim readout is expected in the second half of 2020.
