NCIt definition : A fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody against angiopoietin 2 (ANG2), with potential
antiangiogenic activity. Anti-ANG2 monoclonal antibody MEDI-3617 binds to Ang2 and
interferes with the interaction between Ang2 and its receptor TEK tyrosine kinase
(Tie2), thereby resulting in the disruption of vascular remodeling. This may inhibit
angiogenesis and may eventually lead to an inhibition of tumor cell proliferation.;
