- Background
Amivantamab, also known as JNJ-61186372, is an anti-EGFR-MET bispecific antibody, derived from Chinese hamster ovary cells, approved for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test, whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.1,9 Patients with NSCLC often develop resistance to drugs that target EGFR and MET individually, so amivantamab was developed to attack both targets, reducing the chance of resistance developing.1,2 Amivantamab was found to be more effective than the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib or the MET inhibitor crizotinib in vivo.1,3 Patients with NSCLC with exon 20 insertion mutations in EGFR do not respond to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and were generally treated with platinum-based therapy.5
Amivantamab was granted FDA approval on 21 May 2021,9 followed by the approval by the EMA on 9 December 2021 12 and Health Canada on 30 March 2022.11

Amivantamab is an EGF and MET receptor targeted antibody indicated in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with an EGFR 20 exon insertion mutation.9 It has a long duration of action, as activity can be detected up to 8 weeks after treatment.1 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of infusion-related reactions, interstitial lung disease and pneumonitis, skin reactions, ocular toxicity, and paronychia.9 Patients should not take amivantamab if they are pregnant or breastfeeding.9
- Mechanism of action
Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) is a receptor with tyrosine kinase activity expressed on epithelial cells that, upon signalling, dimerizes and activates downstream pathways that signal cell division.1,4 The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity that can further activate downstream pathways that signal cell division, survival, and angiogenesis.1,4 Patients with NSCLC with exon 20 insertion mutations in EGFR do not respond to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and are generally treated with platinum-based therapy.5 Exon 20 insertion mutations in EGFR also lead to conformational changes that activate EGFR.6
Amivantamab targets both EGFR and MET, preventing ligands from binding to the receptors, blocking signalling, marking the cancerous cells for antibody-dependant cellular cytotoxicity by natural killer cells, and allowing macrophages to perform trogocytosis.9
Amivantamab's binding to the EGFR H epitope shares some of the same amino acids that cetuximab binds to.1
Amivantamab's binding to the alpha chain of MET stabilizes the Sema domain loop 1 to 2 in a position 6 Angstroms away from the position it would be in under normal binding, preventing its interaction with the hepatocyte growth factor's (HGF) beta chain.1 Another smaller conformational change in the MET Sema domain loop 1 to 3 also contributes to preventing the interaction of the MET Sema domain with HGF's beta chain.1 HGF is no longer able to bind to MET, preventing downstream signalling.1
Amivantamab's Fc portion contains 90% less fucose than normal antibodies, allowing for increased binding to the FcγRIIIa region.4 Binding of the Fc portion of Amivantamab signals the complement system and innate immune system to target the bound cells for complement-dependent cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis.4 Binding of amivantamab to the Fc receptor also leads to and increase in levels of IFNγ.6
Amivantamab also significantly downregulates the expression of EGFR and MET on NSCLC cell surfaces, further reducing downstream signalling.6,7 EGFR and MET on the cell surface are internalized, and possibly degrading by fusing endosomes with lysosomes.6 Alternatively, EGFR and MET are the subjects of monocyte-dependent trogocytosis.7 Trogocytosis allows monocytes to internalize and break down EGFR and MET from the NSCLC cells without cytotoxicity, downmodulating EGFR and MET receptors.7

- General Function
- Receptor tyrosine kinase binding ligands of the EGF family and activating several signaling cascades to convert extracellular cues into appropriate cellular responses (PubMed:10805725, PubMed:27153536, PubMed:2790960, PubMed:35538033). Known ligands include EGF, TGFA/TGF-alpha, AREG, epigen/EPGN, BTC/betacellulin, epiregulin/EREG and HBEGF/heparin-binding EGF (PubMed:12297049, PubMed:15611079, PubMed:17909029, PubMed:20837704, PubMed:27153536, PubMed:2790960, PubMed:7679104, PubMed:8144591, PubMed:9419975). Ligand binding triggers receptor homo- and/or heterodimerization and autophosphorylation on key cytoplasmic residues. The phosphorylated receptor recruits adapter proteins like GRB2 which in turn activates complex downstream signaling cascades. Activates at least 4 major downstream signaling cascades including the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK, PI3 kinase-AKT, PLCgamma-PKC and STATs modules (PubMed:27153536). May also activate the NF-kappa-B signaling cascade (PubMed:11116146). Also directly phosphorylates other proteins like RGS16, activating its GTPase activity and probably coupling the EGF receptor signaling to the G protein-coupled receptor signaling (PubMed:11602604). Also phosphorylates MUC1 and increases its interaction with SRC and CTNNB1/beta-catenin (PubMed:11483589). Positively regulates cell migration via interaction with CCDC88A/GIV which retains EGFR at the cell membrane following ligand stimulation, promoting EGFR signaling which triggers cell migration (PubMed:20462955). Plays a role in enhancing learning and memory performance (By similarity). Plays a role in mammalian pain signaling (long-lasting hypersensitivity) (By similarity)

- General Function
- Receptor tyrosine kinase that transduces signals from the extracellular matrix into the cytoplasm by binding to hepatocyte growth factor/HGF ligand. Regulates many physiological processes including proliferation, scattering, morphogenesis and survival. Ligand binding at the cell surface induces autophosphorylation of MET on its intracellular domain that provides docking sites for downstream signaling molecules. Following activation by ligand, interacts with the PI3-kinase subunit PIK3R1, PLCG1, SRC, GRB2, STAT3 or the adapter GAB1. Recruitment of these downstream effectors by MET leads to the activation of several signaling cascades including the RAS-ERK, PI3 kinase-AKT, or PLCgamma-PKC. The RAS-ERK activation is associated with the morphogenetic effects while PI3K/AKT coordinates prosurvival effects. During embryonic development, MET signaling plays a role in gastrulation, development and migration of neuronal precursors, angiogenesis and kidney formation. During skeletal muscle development, it is crucial for the migration of muscle progenitor cells and for the proliferation of secondary myoblasts (By similarity). In adults, participates in wound healing as well as organ regeneration and tissue remodeling. Promotes also differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic cells. May regulate cortical bone osteogenesis (By similarity)

- Receptor for the invariable Fc fragment of immunoglobulin gamma (IgG). Optimally activated upon binding of clustered antigen-IgG complexes displayed on cell surfaces, triggers lysis of antibody-coated cells, a process known as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Does not bind free monomeric IgG, thus avoiding inappropriate effector cell activation in the absence of antigenic trigger (PubMed:11711607, PubMed:21768335, PubMed:22023369, PubMed:24412922, PubMed:25786175, PubMed:25816339, PubMed:28652325, PubMed:8609432, PubMed:9242542). Mediates IgG effector functions on natural killer (NK) cells. Binds antigen-IgG complexes generated upon infection and triggers NK cell-dependent cytokine production and degranulation to limit viral load and propagation. Involved in the generation of memory-like adaptive NK cells capable to produce high amounts of IFNG and to efficiently eliminate virus-infected cells via ADCC (PubMed:24412922, PubMed:25786175). Regulates NK cell survival and proliferation, in particular by preventing NK cell progenitor apoptosis (PubMed:29967280, PubMed:9916693). Fc-binding subunit that associates with CD247 and/or FCER1G adapters to form functional signaling complexes. Following the engagement of antigen-IgG complexes, triggers phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-containing adapters with subsequent activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling and sustained elevation of intracellular calcium that ultimately drive NK cell activation. The ITAM-dependent signaling coupled to receptor phosphorylation by PKC mediates robust intracellular calcium flux that leads to production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, whereas in the absence of receptor phosphorylation it mainly activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling leading to cell degranulation (PubMed:1825220, PubMed:23024279, PubMed:2532305). Costimulates NK cells and trigger lysis of target cells independently of IgG binding (PubMed:10318937, PubMed:23006327). Mediates the antitumor activities of therapeutic antibodies. Upon ligation on monocytes triggers TNFA-dependent ADCC of IgG-coated tumor cells (PubMed:27670158). Mediates enhanced ADCC in response to afucosylated IgGs (PubMed:34485821)
