Description
Background:
Amivantamab, also known as JNJ-61186372, is an anti-EGFR-MET bispecific antibody, derived from Chinese hamster ovary cells, approved for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test, whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients with NSCLC often develop resistance to drugs that target EGFR and MET individually, so amivantamab was developed to attack both targets, reducing the chance of resistance developing. Amivantamab was found to be more effective than the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib or the MET inhibitor crizotinib in vivo. Patients with NSCLC with exon 20 insertion mutations in EGFR do not respond to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and were generally treated with platinum-based therapy.
Intended Use:
For Estimation of Amivantamab in human serum and plasma. Krishgen’s range of KRIBIOLISA kits are developed using the high quality raw materials and are thoroughly validated for accuracy and precison. They allow quantification of serum or plasma protein drug levels, and can be used for biosimilar and generics research to understand pharmacokinetic properties of the drug. Please note the kit has not been optimized to be used for any other animal species. Should you require a specific sera tested, please connect with us for optimisation.
