TheraCIM (Nimotuzumab)
TheraCIM is not chemotherapy. It is a
type of targeted cancer therapy known as a monoclonal antibody. TheraCIM is a
recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody designed to target and binds
specifically to human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and blocks its
activity. Excessive production of EGFR is observed in a variety of tumors and
associated with poor treatment response, disease progression, and poor
prognosis.
The EGF receptor is expressed on numerous non-cancerous cells, including skin
cells, GI mucosa, and renal cells, while over-expressed on many types of cancer
cells. TheraCIM discriminates between normal cells and cancer cells, binding
preferentially to cancer cells over-expressing EGFR.
TheraCIM has been studied in brain tumors, head and neck
cancers, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and many other solid tumors in numerous clinical studies. It has
demonstrated evidence of no severe skin rash in and other side-effects
commonly associated with anti-EGFR treatment, with its
efficacy being equivalent or superior to those of other anti-EGFR.
