WHAT PORTRAZZA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Portrazza contains the active substance necitumumab, which belongs to
a group of substances called
monoclonal antibodies.
Necitumumab recognises and binds specifically to a protein on the
surface of some cancer cells. The
protein is known as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Other
body proteins (called growth
factors) can attach to the EGFR and stimulate the cancer cell to grow
and divide. Necitumumab
hinders other proteins from binding to the EGFR and thus prevents the
cancer cell from growth and
division.
Portrazza is used in combination with other anti-cancer medicines for
the treatment of adults with
certain type of lung cancer at an advanced stage (squamous non-small
cell lung cancer), whose cancer
cells have the EGFR protein on their surface. The anti-cancer
medicines it is combined with are
gemcitabine and cisplatin.
