How BIZENGRI Works

Zenocutuzumab-zbco is a bispecific antibody that binds to the extracellular domains of HER2 and HER3 on the surface of tumor cells. This binding inhibits HER2:HER3 dimerization and prevents NRG1 from binding to HER3, which decreases cell proliferation and signaling through the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. Additionally, the drug mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) to facilitate the destruction of tumor cells.

BIZENGRI Target & Pathway

Pro

Target

HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) Growth Factor Receptor

A receptor tyrosine kinase that promotes cell growth and division. Approximately 20% of breast cancers overexpress HER2, leading to aggressive tumor growth. Targeting HER2 blocks these growth signals and can trigger immune-mediated destruction of cancer cells.

Pathway Context

HER2 forms dimers with other HER family members to activate growth signaling

HER3 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 3)
EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) receptor

A receptor that triggers cell growth, proliferation, and survival when activated. Mutations or overexpression of EGFR drive many cancers, particularly lung cancer. Blocking EGFR stops the growth signals that fuel tumor progression.
