Necitumumab
Necitumumab (INN) is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody used as an antineoplastic. It binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).[1] The US FDA approved necitumumab under the brand name Portrazza for use with gemcitabine and cisplatin in previously untreated metastatic squamous non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).[2][3][4] It was counterproductive in non-squamous non-small-cell lung carcinoma.[4][5]
