SMT112 Simultaneous blockage of PD-1 & VEGF provides enhanced anti- tumor activities Tighter binding and higher specificity enhances T cell activation Tumor Microenvironment Without PD-1 or VEGF Antibodies With Ivonescimab (SMT112) PD-1/VEGF Bispecific Antibody 2. VEGF induces angiogenesis which give nutrients and oxygen to the tumor 1. PD-1 acts as a checkpoint which slows down the killing of the tumor 1. SMT112 blocks PD-1, which stimulates the immune system to fight the tumor 2. SMT112 also blocks VEGF diminishing angiogenesis thereby starving the tumor 10 J.P.
