VEGF Protein Levels in U87 Tumors After SU5416 and Dalteparin.
| Treatment Group | Number of Tumors | VEGF Mean pg/10 µg Total Protein | SD | t-test Compared with Controls |
| Controls | 15 | 236 | 88 | |
| SU5416 | 13 | 176 | 108 | NS |
| Dalteparin | 15 | 205 | 103 | NS |
| SU5416+dalteparin | 15 | 159 | 94 | P=.03 |
Dalteparin, in combination with SU5416, significantly reduced the VEGF content in tumors compared with controls. The reduction after SU5416 or dalteparin as monotherapy was not statistically significant. There was no statistical difference in VEGF levels between the different treatment groups. The VEGF levels were measured at a tumor volume of 600 mm3.
NS=no significant difference.
