Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) is a cancer-specific deletion mutant observed in approximately 25% to 50% of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. An antibody drug conjugate, AMG 595, composed of the maytansinoid DM1 attached to a highly selective anti-EGFRvIII antibody via a noncleavable linker, was developed to treat EGFRvIII-positive GBM patients. AMG 595 binds to the cell surface and...
