“…ABX-EGF (Panitumumab) is another anti-EGFR MAb that has similar mechanism of action to cetuximab and is currently under investigations [20,21]. Another fully humanized MoAb in an advanced stage of clinical development is EMD72000.…”
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) provides survival signals and is overexpressed in the majority of colorectal cancer. Cetuximab is a recombinant human/mouse monoclonal antibody(MoAb) against EGFR, clinically active in the treatment of human colorectal cancer. Unlike the predictable correlation of response to trastuzumab, another MoAb clinically active in a subgroup of breast cancer patients expressing HER-2/neu, responses to cetuximab in EGFR-expressing colorectal cancer is not predictable.The search for a reliable marker that would allow clinicians to select patients for cetuximab therapy remains a major challenge.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
