Erbitux® / Cetuximab Reference Product

Drug nameErbitux®
INNCetuximab
API typeCetuximab is a chimeric monoclonal IgG1antibody produced in a mammalian cell line (Sp2/0) by recombinant DNA technology
Pharmacotherapeutic group
Antineoplastic agents, monoclonal antibodie
ATC code
L01XC06
Target of antibody
EGFR
General functionCetuximab is indicated for the treatment of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-expressing, RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer and for the treatment of patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
Short description
Pharmacodynamic properties
(Mechanism of action; Source EMA document)
Cetuximab is a chimeric monoclonal IgG1 antibody that is specifically directed against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
EGFR signalling pathways are involved in the control of cell survival, cell cycle progression, angiogenesis, cell migration and cellular invasion/metastasis.
Cetuximab binds to the EGFR with an affinity that is approximately 5- to 10-fold higher than that of endogenous ligands. Cetuximab blocks binding of endogenous EGFR ligands resulting in inhibition of the function of the receptor. It further induces the internalisation of EGFR, which can lead to downregulation of EGFR. Cetuximab also targets cytotoxic immune effector cells towards EGFRexpressing tumour cells (antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, ADCC).
Cetuximab does not bind to other receptors belonging to the HER family. The protein product of the proto-oncogene RAS (rat sarcoma) is a central down-stream signal transducer of EGFR. In tumours, activation of RAS by EGFR contributes to EGFR-mediated increased proliferation, survival and the production of pro-angiogenic factors.
RAS is one of the most frequently activated family of oncogenes in human cancers. Mutations of RAS genes at certain hot-spots on exons 2, 3 and 4 result in constitutive activation of RAS proteins independently of EGFR signaling.
Pharmacodynamic properties (Pharmacodynamic effects; Source EMA document)In both in vitro and in vivo assays, cetuximab inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis of human tumour cells that express EGFR. In vitro cetuximab inhibits the production of angiogenic factors by tumour cells and blocks endothelial cell migration. In vivo cetuximab inhibits expression of angiogenic factors by tumour cells and causes a reduction in tumour neo-vascularisation and metastasis.

Frequently asked questions​

At Evidentic, we deal with clinical-grade therapeutic molecules. Think of them as the building blocks for tomorrow’s groundbreaking treatments. These molecules are the active ingredients you’ll find in original drugs prescribed to patients, produced under the strictest quality and safety standards. They’ve also been therapeutically proven through rigorous clinical trials, meaning their effectiveness and safety for treating human diseases have been established. By offering researchers access to these essential tools, we’re fueling the fight for a healthier future.

Unlike some commercially available molecules, Evidentic’s clinical-grade therapeutics aren’t just research possibilities – they’re proven powerhouses! Derived from actual drugs used to treat human diseases, these molecules have already undergone rigorous testing and met the strictest safety and quality standards. This means researchers can focus their energy on groundbreaking discoveries, not questioning the reliability of their tools. With Evidentic, you get the confidence of knowing you’re working with the building blocks for real-world medical advancements.

If you struggle to source clinical-grade biologics you need for your research, Evidentic bridges the gap. We offer royalty-free research consumables (RUO-only) derived from original licensed drugs, giving you access to these critical research tools without the hassle.

But that’s not all. We understand the importance of batch variety in your research. That’s why we’ve built a comprehensive stock library, offering numerous batches of the same active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This dedication to choice means you can find the exact batch that aligns with your specific research needs.

And because we’re constantly expanding our library, you can be sure we’re actively searching for new batches to add to your research arsenal. With Evidentic, unlock the power of readily available, high-quality research tools and accelerate your scientific breakthroughs.

Evidentic offers access to pharmaceuticals approved by the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and/or the EMA (European Medicines Agency). This gives you access to a wider variety of molecules for your research, potentially shortening timelines and boosting the accuracy of your results. Compare EU and US molecules head-to-head, and accelerate your early drug development projects with access to these high-quality research tools. Contact us today to explore the possibilities!

Evidentic’s aliquots from approved pharnaceuticals can be used for analytical, in vitro research, typically executed in early drug development stage of drug discovery programs, like:

  • Use as reference molecules for your assays
  • In functional in-vitro assays
  • For analytical procedures
  • For biosimilar and new drug early development
  • To compare against your research-grade molecules
