Comment: Pegdinetanib (BMS-844203) was a clinical lead vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) inhibitor. It is an engineered, affinity-matured peptide derived from human fibronectin type III (FN3: residues 1424-1516) that binds to VEGFR2 [1,3]. The peptide is conjugated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to increase its molecular size above the threshold for kidney-mediated clearance, and this effectively extends its circulating half-life [5]. Pegdinetanib was investigated for anti-angiogenic activity and its potential to inhibit vascularisation in tumours [2,4]. Pegdinetanib is an example of a peptide-based therapeutic that has utilised a novel scaffold (FN3) as an alternative to antigen receptors (antibodies).
Note that the PubChem CID for pegdinetanib (86278317) represents only the PEG moiety and not the entire peptide conjugate.

Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Pegdinetanib (formerly BMS-844203 or CT322) progressed to Phase 2 evaluation for anti-tumour potential, but development has been halted, primarily due to insufficient efficacy in patients with recurrent glioblastoma [6]. As of early September 2019 there are no active trials involving this inhibitor. Click here to link to ClinicalTrials.gov's full list of BMS-844203/CT322 studies.
