“Because onartuzumab , a monovalent antibody to MET, blocks HGF-induced MET activation, the addition of onartuzumab to erlotinib may improve therapeutic efficacy.”
“ Onartuzumab reduced phospho-MET levels, inhibited MET ubiquitination, and consequently restored MET protein levels.”
“ Onartuzumab , a humanized, monovalent monoclonal anti-MET antibody, antagonizes MET signaling by inhibiting binding of its ligand, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF).”
“Indeed, combined targeting of MET with onartuzumab and EGFR with erlotinib in a clinical trial prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with lung cancer expressing high levels of MET [7].”
