Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a pivotal role in angiogenesis, but is not the only player with an angiogenic function. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2), which was discovered before VEGF, is also an angiogenic growth factor. It has been shown that FGF2 plays positive pathophysiological roles in tissue remodeling, bone health, and regeneration, such as the repair of neuronal damage, skin wound healing, joint protection, and the control of hypertension. Targeting FGF2 as a therapeutic tool in disease treatment through clinically useful inhibitors has not been developed until recently. An isolated inhibitory RNA aptamer against FGF2, named RBM-007, has followed an extensive preclinical study, with two clinical trials in phase 2 and phase 1, respectively, underway to assess the therapeutic impact in age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and achondroplasia (ACH), respectively. Moreover, showing broad therapeutic potential, preclinical evidence supports the use of RBM-007 in the treatment of lung cancer and cancer pain.
