What Amivantamab-Vmjw does in the body
RYBREVANT is a bispecific EGF receptor-directed and MET receptor-directed antibody indicated: in combination with lazertinib for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test.
Amivantamab-vmjw is a bispecific antibody that binds to the extracellular domains of EGFR and MET. In in vitro and in vivo studies amivantamab-vmjw was able to disrupt EGFR and MET signaling functions in mutation models of exon 19 deletions, exon 21 L858R substitutions, and exon 20 insertions through blocking ligand binding or degradation of EGFR and MET. The presence of EGFR and MET on the surface of tumor cells also allows for targeting of these cells for destruction by immune effector cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages, through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and trogocytosis mechanisms, respectively. Treatment with amivantamab in combination with lazertinib increased in vivo anti-tumor activity compared to either agent alone in a mouse xenograft model of human NSCLC with an EGFR L858R mutation.
