Oncolines publishes with Elevar Therapeutics on selective VEGFR2 inhibitor rivoceranib
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) is a key regulator of tumor angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing vasculature. VEGFR2 has been an attractive target for anti-cancer therapy. The study highlights the power of combining Oncolines’ ResidenceTimer platform and Carna Bioscience’s kinase activity profiling.

10 years Pivot Park: Oncolines
“Oncolines is a subsidiary of the Netherlands Translational Research Center (NTRC), the company I started in 2012 with my MSD/Organon colleague Rogier Buijsman,” says Zaman. “From 2012 to 2021, NTRC worked on new technologies to help develop novel drug candidates. These include a cancer cell line panel and bioinformatics analysis tools. We used these technologies to support our in-house drug discovery but also to provide services for clients. Over the years, NTRC has developed so fast that we decided to separate the precision medicine services and to expand it further as Oncolines.”
T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive cancer arising from aberrant proliferation of T cell progenitors and accounts for 15% of pediatric ALL cases. Current standard treatment, consisting of high-dose multiagent chemotherapy, has led to an overall survival rate exceeding 80%. Nevertheless, one out of five children with T-ALL will relapse within four years after the start of therapy. New treatment options are urgently needed.
