01
Overview
Cetuximab + tepotinib is an investigational combination therapy consisting of two targeted agents used in oncology. Cetuximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), inhibiting its signaling and thereby blocking tumor cell proliferation and survival. Tepotinib is a small molecule inhibitor of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) receptor tyrosine kinase, which can drive cancer progression when amplified or overexpressed. This combination has been studied primarily in patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type left-sided metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have developed resistance to anti-EGFR antibody therapy due to MET amplification. The rationale for combining these agents is to overcome acquired resistance mechanisms by simultaneously targeting EGFR and MET pathways[1][4][5].
