Abstract

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive and invasive subtype of breast cancer that represents a major cause of death of women worldwide. Here we describe the efficacy of an integrin-binding antiangiogenic peptide in a variety of delivery methods and dosing conditions. This peptide, AXT201, demonstrated consistent anti-tumor efficacy when administered intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, and intratumorally, and retained this activity even when dosing frequency was reduced to once every two weeks. Finally, in vivo imaging and biodistribution studies of AXT201 showed a long-term persistence of at least 10 days at the site of injection and a stable detectable signal in the blood over 48 h, indicating a sustained release profile. Taken together, these findings indicate AXT201 exhibits favorable pharmacokinetic properties for a 20-mer peptide.
