drug_description
Humanized IgG1 anti-HER3 monoclonal antibody that binds HER3 (ErbB3), blocks HER3 activation and heterodimerization (e.g., with EGFR/HER2), suppressing PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling; its IgG1 Fc can engage ADCC.

nci_thesaurus_definition
A humanized immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3; ERBB3), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, nezutatug targets and binds to HER3 and inhibits its activation. This may prevent HER3-mediated signaling and inhibit HER3-dependent tumor cell proliferation and differentiation. HER3, a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases, is frequently overexpressed in tumors and is associated with poor prognosis and drug resistance; it has no active kinase domain but is activated through heterodimerization with other members of the EGFR receptor family, such as HER2.

drug_mechanism_of_action
HMBD-001 is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds HER3 (ERBB3), preventing ligand-induced activation and heterodimerization with EGFR/HER2. This blocks downstream PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling to inhibit tumor cell growth and survival; its IgG1 Fc can also mediate ADCC.
