Abstract

Panitumumab, an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody, prolongs progression-free survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and wild-type KRAS tumours when administered intravenously in combination with FOLFOX as first-line treatment, in combination with FOLFIRI as second-line treatment, or as monotherapy in chemotherapy-refractory disease. It has an acceptable tolerability profile, is associated with the skinrelated toxicities characteristic of EGFR inhibitors and appears to have a low risk of immunogenicity.
