Description
ABBV-400 is an antibody-drug conjugate developed by AbbVie that targets both EGFR and MET receptor pathways in solid tumors including colorectal cancer. This dual-targeting approach is designed to overcome resistance mechanisms that commonly develop with single-target therapies in advanced CRC. The compound combines targeted antibody delivery with cytotoxic payload to selectively attack cancer cells expressing these receptors.
Mechanism of Action
ABBV-400 binds to both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and MET receptor tyrosine kinase, which are frequently overexpressed in colorectal cancer and drive tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Upon binding, the antibody-drug conjugate is internalized by the cancer cell, where it releases its cytotoxic payload directly into the tumor cell, causing targeted cell death while sparing normal tissues.
