| Description | Matuzumab (formerly known as the experimental drug, EMD 72000) is a humanized monoclonal antibody used in cancer treatment. It has a high affinity for EGFR (epithelial growth factor receptor), frequently associated with the growth of blood vessels in malignancy, facilitating tumor growth and survival. |
| Indication/Disease | Investigated for use/treatment in cervical dysplasia/cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and lung cancer. |
| Pharmacodynamics | NA |
| Mechanism of Action | Matuzumab binds the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with high affinity, competitively blocking natural ligand binding and blocking receptor-mediated downstream signalling, resulting in impaired tumor cell proliferation. Matuzumab (EMD-72000) is a humanized IgG1 MAb that not only binds with high specificity and affinity to EGFR, but also modulates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). |
