Selicrelumab (** Investigational drug (no approved brand names); Generic name: Selicrelumab **)
Immunotherapy
Description
Selicrelumab is an investigational immunotherapy drug currently being studied in clinical trials for certain types of colorectal cancer. It is being investigated as a potential treatment option for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) that has not responded to standard first- and second-line therapies. The drug is being tested in combination with other cancer treatments, including other immunotherapies and targeted therapies, to see if these combinations are safe and effective. It is important to note that selicrelumab is not yet approved for use in colorectal cancer and is only available as part of clinical trials.
Mechanism of Action
Selicrelumab is designed to target a specific protein involved in immune regulation. By targeting this protein, the drug aims to enhance the body's own immune system's ability to recognize and attack cancer cells. The specific protein target and detailed mechanism of action are still being characterized in ongoing clinical trials.
