Pharmacology
Selpercatinib is a kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits wild-type RET and multiple mutated RET isoforms (including gene fusions and activating point mutations) as well as VEGFR1 and VEGFR3, and at clinically achievable concentrations also inhibits FGFR1, 2, and 3, blocking constitutive RET signaling that acts as an oncogenic driver promoting tumor cell proliferation.
Amivantamab-vmjw is a bispecific antibody that binds EGFR and MET extracellular domains, disrupting ligand binding and receptor degradation, and targeting tumor cells for immune-mediated destruction via ADCC and trogocytosis.
