Abstract
Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL-4) inhibitor drugs are an emerging cancer treatment. In clinical trials for solid organ malignancies, intravenous administration of monoclonal antibodies that inhibit DLL-4 is associated with development of pulmonary hypertension, in the absence of left ventricular dysfunction. Analysis of 13 clinical trials showed that pulmonary hypertension is a complication of DLL-4 inhibition.
期刊介绍:
Pulmonary Circulation''s main goal is to encourage basic, translational, and clinical research by investigators, physician-scientists, and clinicans, in the hope of increasing survival rates for pulmonary hypertension and other pulmonary vascular diseases worldwide, and developing new therapeutic approaches for the diseases. Freely available online, Pulmonary Circulation allows diverse knowledge of research, techniques, and case studies to reach a wide readership of specialists in order to improve patient care and treatment outcomes.
