A vascular-targeting agent (VTA) or vascular disrupting agent (VDA) is a drug designed to damage the vasculature (blood vessels) of cancer tumors causing central necrosis.[1]

VTAs can be small-molecule or ligand-based.

Small-molecule VTAs include:

Clinical trials

Phase II : ZD6126, CA4P, plinabulin (NPI-2358)[2][3][4]

Phase III : DMXAA (ASA404).
