Abstract: A method of reducing or preventing hypertension associated with administration of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist in a human subjects suffering from a disease or condition treatable with a VEGF antagonist in which is it desirable to reduce or prevent hypertension. The method is particularly useful for treatment of patients unresponsive to treatment with a VEGF inhibitor administered intravenously.

Abstract: A method of treating a human patient suffering from cancer, comprising administering an effective amount of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) trap antagonist to the human patient, the method comprising: (a) administering to the patient an initial dose of at least approximately 0.3 mg/kg of the VEGF antagonist; and (b) administering to the patient a plurality of subsequent doses of the VEGF antagonist in an amount that is approximately the same or less of the initial dose, wherein the subsequent doses are separated in time from each other by at least one day. The methods of the invention are useful for treating a human cancer selected from the group consisting of renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, malignant mesothelioma, multiple myeloma, ovarian cancer, and melanoma. The invention is further useful for treating a condition which benefits from the reduction of VEGFA and placental growth factor (PLGF).
