Amivantamab

A drug used to treat adults with non-small cell lung cancer that is locally advanced or has spread to other parts of the body and has certain mutations (changes) in the gene. It is used in patients whose cancer got worse during or after platinum chemotherapy. It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer. Amivantamab binds to receptors for proteins called EGF and MET, which are found on some types of cancer cells. Blocking these proteins may help keep cancer cells from growing. Amivantamab is a type of monoclonal antibody. Also called Rybrevant.
