aTyr Pharma has announced promising preclinical findings regarding its monoclonal antibody, ATYR2810, showcased at the 2023 AACR Annual Meeting. This antibody targets neuropilin-2 (NRP2) and VEGF-C, showing significant inhibition of tumor growth in models of aggressive cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Notably, ATYR2810, both alone and in combination with chemotherapy, exhibited enhanced sensitivity to treatment. These results highlight its potential to combat therapy resistance, a critical concern in aggressive cancer types.

The ongoing research emphasizes the role of high levels of VEGF-C in promoting therapy resistance, and ATYR2810's unique mechanism could offer a differentiated approach to treating such cancers. The poster presentation on this innovative therapy is scheduled for April 17, 2023, during the conference in Orlando, FL.
