Ivzumab is a monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of various cancers. It works by inhibiting angiogenesis, the process by which tumors develop new blood vessels to sustain their growth. Ivzumab specifically binds to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that promotes the formation of new blood vessels. By neutralizing VEGF, Ivzumab starves tumors of their blood supply, inhibiting growth and progression.
