Abstract
Zenocutuzumab-zbco, a novel bispecific antibody targeting HER2 and HER3, has demonstrated promising efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In early-phase clinical trials, it has shown an objective response rate of approximately 34% in HER2-amplified NSCLC and a disease control rate exceeding 70% in pancreatic adenocarcinoma with NRG1 fusions. By disrupting HER3-driven oncogenic signaling, zenocutuzumab effectively inhibits tumor proliferation and enhances therapeutic outcomes. Its safety profile remains favorable, with most adverse effects being mild to moderate. This editorial explores the clinical potential of zenocutuzumab in reshaping treatment strategies for NSCLC and pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
期刊介绍:
Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, observations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a new section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.
