drug_description
Low-fucose, fully human IgG1 bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting EGFR and MET; inhibits EGFR/MET signaling and active against EGFR activating/resistance mutations (e.g., T790M/C797S) and MET pathway activation.

nci_thesaurus_definition
A human bispecific antibody targeting both epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR and hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR; cMet), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, amivantamab simultaneously targets and binds to wild-type or certain mutant forms of both EGFR and cMet expressed on cancer cells, thereby preventing receptor phosphorylation. This prevents the activation of both EGFR- and cMet-mediated signaling pathways. In addition, binding results in receptor degradation, which further inhibits EGFR- and cMet-mediated signaling. JNJ-61186372 also causes antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Altogether, this results in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. EGFR and cMet, both upregulated or mutated in a variety of tumor cell types, play key roles in tumor cell proliferation.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Low-fucose, fully human IgG1 bispecific antibody that targets EGFR and MET (wild-type and mutant), blocks ligand binding and receptor phosphorylation, promotes receptor internalization/degradation, and mediates Fc-dependent ADCC; collectively shuts down EGFR/MET downstream signaling (e.g., MAPK, PI3K-AKT) and inhibits tumor cell proliferation, including in EGFR-activating/resistance and MET-driven settings.
