Description
MCLA-129 is a human bispecific monoclonal antibody that simultaneously targets both EGFR and c-MET receptors in solid tumors including colorectal cancer. This dual-targeting approach is designed to block two key growth pathways that are frequently overexpressed or mutated in colorectal cancer. The bispecific antibody format allows for enhanced tumor selectivity by requiring both target receptors to be present for optimal binding and activity.
Mechanism of Action
MCLA-129 binds to both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and c-MET receptor tyrosine kinase, blocking downstream signaling pathways that promote cancer cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis. By simultaneously inhibiting both pathways, the antibody aims to overcome resistance mechanisms that can develop when targeting either receptor alone.
