EGFR
General functionVectibix is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with wild-type RAS metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC): (1) in first-line in combination with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI, (2) in second-line in combination with FOLFIRI for patients who have received first-line fluoropyrimidine based chemotherapy (excluding irinotecan), and (3) as monotherapy after failure of fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing chemotherapy regimens.
Short description
Pharmacodynamic properties
(Mechanism of action; Source EMA document)
Panitumumab is a recombinant, fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity and specificity to the human EGFR. EGFR is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of a subfamily of type I receptor tyrosine kinases including EGFR (HER1/c-ErbB-1), HER2, HER3, and HER4. EGFR promotes cell growth in normal epithelial tissues, including the skin and hair follicle, and is expressed on a variety of tumour cells.
Panitumumab binds to the ligand binding domain of EGFR and inhibits receptor autophosphorylation induced by all known EGFR ligands. Binding of panitumumab to EGFR results in internalisation of the receptor, inhibition of cell growth, induction of apoptosis, and decreased interleukin 8 and vascular endothelial growth factor production.
Pharmacodynamic properties (Pharmacodynamic effects; Source EMA document)In vitro assays and in vivo animal studies have shown that panitumumab inhibits the growth and survival of tumour cells expressing EGFR. No anti-tumour effects of panitumumab were observed in human tumour xenografts lacking EGFR expression. The addition of panitumumab to radiation, chemotherapy or other targeted therapeutic agents, in animal studies resulted in an increase in antitumour effects compared to radiation, chemotherapy or targeted therapeutic agents alone.
