Frequently asked questions about Adecatumumab

What is adecatumumab used for?

Adecatumumab was studied in oncology for liver metastases, specifically in patients with colorectal cancer who had undergone R0 resection of colorectal liver metastases. It is an investigational monoclonal antibody and is not an approved therapy. Its clinical evaluation focused on this adjuvant setting after surgical removal of liver metastases.

What does adecatumumab target?

Adecatumumab targets EPCAM, the epithelial cell adhesion molecule. It is a monoclonal antibody that acts as an inhibitor of this target. EPCAM is a cell surface antigen expressed on epithelial cells and epithelial-derived tumors, which is why the compound was evaluated in colorectal cancer and liver metastases.

Who is developing adecatumumab?

Adecatumumab is being developed by Amgen Inc., the biotechnology and pharmaceutical company traded on Nasdaq under the ticker AMGN. Amgen holds the asset, which is an investigational monoclonal antibody in oncology. The program has been studied in colorectal cancer patients with liver metastases.

What phase is adecatumumab in?

Adecatumumab is in Phase 2 development. It is an investigational monoclonal antibody and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The Phase 2 study in colorectal liver metastases has been completed, and no active trials are currently listed for this asset.

What clinical trials is adecatumumab in?

Adecatumumab has been evaluated in one Phase 2 trial, NCT00866944, titled Study of Adecatumumab Relative to FOLFOX After R0 Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases. The trial enrolled 35 patients, was randomized and active controlled, and was conducted in France and Germany. It is now completed.

How was the adecatumumab trial designed?

The Phase 2 trial NCT00866944 was a randomized, active-controlled study comparing adecatumumab with FOLFOX after R0 resection of colorectal liver metastases. It enrolled 35 patients aged 18 years and older of all sexes, took place in France and Germany, and did not use biomarker selection. The study is completed.
