Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have reported that the anti-angiogenesis drug they developed - called Veglin - not only is safe for patients with a wide variety of cancers, but also lowers levels of a key protein that tumors need to grow and stabilizes - or even reverses - some cancers for a period. Alexandra M. Levine, distinguished professor of medicine and chief of hematology at the Keck School of Medicine and medical director of the USC/Norris Cancer Hospital, presented results from the ongoing Veglin trial at the 40th annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in June.
