Biologic (antibody-drug conjugate)
drug_description
First-in-human antibody-drug conjugate: an anti-HER3 (ERBB3) monoclonal antibody linked to a topoisomerase I–inhibiting exatecan-derivative payload. Binds HER3 on tumor cells, is internalized, releases the cytotoxic payload to inhibit topo I, causing DNA damage; may also dampen HER3 signaling.

nci_thesaurus_definition
An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a monoclonal antibody directed against human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3; ErbB3) conjugated to a topoisomerase I (TopoI) inhibitor-based payload, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of anti-HER3/TopoI inhibitor ADC IBI133, the anti-HER3 antibody moiety targets and binds to HER3 expressed on tumor cells. Upon cellular uptake, the TopoI inhibitor inhibits DNA topoI activity, thereby inhibiting DNA replication which results in cell cycle arrest and tumor cell apoptosis. This inhibits the proliferation of HER3-expressing tumor cells. HER3, a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases, is frequently overexpressed in tumors.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Anti-HER3 (ERBB3) monoclonal antibody linked to a topoisomerase I–inhibiting exatecan-derivative payload; binds HER3 on tumor cells, is internalized, and releases the payload to inhibit topoisomerase I, causing DNA damage, cell-cycle arrest, and apoptosis; may also reduce HER3 signaling.
