Amivantamab for the Treatment of Metastatic EGFR or MET-Amplified Esophagogastric Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase II trial tests whether amivantamab works to shrink tumors in patients with esophagogastric cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and has a genetic change (amplification) in the EGFR or MET gene. Amivantamab is a bispecific antibody that targets the EGFR and MET proteins. A bispecific antibody binds to two different proteins; one found on the surface of cancer cells and one found on the surface of cells in the immune system. An antibody is a protein made by the immune system to help fight infections and other harmful processes, cells, or molecules. Amivantamab may help the immune system recognize and destroy tumor cells.
