Overview

Vanucizumab + mFOLFOX-6 is a combination regimen used in clinical trials for the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. It consists of **vanucizumab**, a humanized IgG1-like bispecific monoclonal antibody that targets both vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), combined with **modified FOLFOX-6 chemotherapy** (folinic acid [leucovorin], fluorouracil [5-FU], and oxaliplatin). Vanucizumab aims to block both VEGF-A and Ang-2 pathways to inhibit tumor angiogenesis and metastasis[4][6]. The combination was tested versus bevacizumab + mFOLFOX-6 in the phase II McCAVE trial. Although vanucizumab effectively engaged its intended targets, the trial found no superior benefit over anti–VEGF-A blockade alone. As a result, the further clinical development of this dual inhibitor was discontinued[6]. mFOLFOX-6 is a standard chemotherapy backbone given intravenously, with cycles incorporating oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and both bolus and infusion 5-FU[3][5][7].
