REGN13335 / Regeneron - LARVOL DELTA

Platelet-derived growth factor antagonist antibody attenuates pulmonary arterial hypertension and prevents right heart dysfunction in the Sugen-Hypoxia rat model (AHA 2025) - "Sildenafil, a standard of care (SOC) treatment in PAH, attenuated RV dysfunction in this model suggesting its translatability to study RV function in PAH. Longitudinal cardiac imaging revealed RV dysfunction in the SuHx rat model of PAH. Treatment with SOC or REGN13335 improved RV hypertrophy, systolic function and output. REGN13335 may represent a novel therapeutic approach to address RV remodeling and dysfunction in patients with PAH."

THE IMPACT OF THE HUMAN MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY REGN13335 ON PDGF-B: A POTENTIAL, NOVEL THERAPEUTIC STRATEGY FOR PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION (CHEST 2025) - "Combining REGN13335 with the endothelin receptor antagonist macitentan improved survival compared to vehicle control treatment and macitentan monotherapy in MCT rats. In the bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis model, REGN13335 mitigated RVSP elevation... Neutralizing PDGF-B with REGN13335 reduces PDGF-BB/AB signaling through PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β on vascular support cells and fibroblasts, contributing to remodeling and pulmonary resistance. REGN13335 demonstrated efficacy in mitigating PAH-related endpoints across preclinical models of primary and secondary PAH. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: These findings suggest that the PDGF-B antagonist monoclonal antibody REGN13335 may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for PAH treatment, potentially reducing the risk of right heart failure and improving survival in patients with PAH."

THE IMPACT OF PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR-BB ANTAGONIST ANTIBODY ON RIGHT HEART FAILURE IN PULMONARY HYPERTENSION IN PRECLINICAL ANIMAL STUDIES (CHEST 2025) - "We employed an investigational fully human monoclonal antibody, REGN13335, which is designed to bind and neutralize PDGF-B with high affinity, to evaluate its therapeutic potential in mitigating RV remodeling and dysfunction using echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the SU5416/hypoxia (SuHx) PAH rat model. Longitudinal RV imaging by echocardiography and MRI effectively detected RV remodeling and dysfunction in the SuHx rat model of PAH. REGN13335 treatment mitigated RV remodeling, preserved RV function, and improved oxygen saturation. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Targeting the PDGF-BB pathway with REGN13335 may offer a novel therapeutic strategy to prevent or reverse RV remodeling and dysfunction in PAH patients."
