Panitumumab, a monoclonal anti epidermal growth factor receptor antibody in colorectal cancer: another one or the one?
Panitumumab (Vectibix, Amgen, Inc.) is a fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Panitumumab, formerly called ABX-EGF, was initially developed by Abgenix using the XenoMouse transgenic technology. This methodology is based on inactivating the mouse immunoglobulin genes that are replaced by a megabase gene containing the human heavy and n chain...
متن کاملAntiepidermal Growth Factor Receptor Monoclonal Antibodies: Applications in Colorectal Cancer
Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer have a poor prognosis and present a challenge to clinicians. The role of the antiepidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway in tumorogenesis and tumor progression has been well defined. This paper will review the use of anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of operable, as well as metastatic colorectal cancer both in the setting of KRAS...
متن کاملUpdate in Antiepidermal Growth Factor Receptor Therapy in the Management of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
The approval of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) has expanded the armamentarium against this disease. This paper will review the historical progress and recent clinical developments of anti-EGFR therapies in the treatment of metastatic CRC. Novel strategies of targeting the EGFR pathway to improve efficacy ...
متن کاملCetuximab: an epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibody for the treatment of colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND Cetuximab is a recombinant human/mouse chimeric epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody. It was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in February 2004 to be used in combination with irinotecan for the treatment of EGFR-expressing, metastatic colorectal cancer in patients who had failed to improve with irinotecan-based chemotherapy. Cetuximab was also app...
متن کاملTargeting colorectal cancer with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibodies: focus on panitumumab
The tumor biology targeted therapies have improved outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC). The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors represent one of these successful strategies. EGFR is frequently overexpressed in CRCs and associated with a malignant phenotype. Two EGFR inhibitors have shown efficacy in metastatic CRC, cetuximab and panitumumab. Cetuximab is a human-mouse chimeric mo...
