    A few days ago, Merus announced the latest clinical trial results of its research bispecific antibody therapy zenocutuzumab at the ASCO annual meeting


    In patients with NRG1 fusion-positive tumors, the NRG1 gene that expresses neuregulin is fused with other genes, resulting in abnormal expression of neuregulin, which promotes the occurrence and proliferation of cancer


    In addition, this antibody also has the effect of enhancing antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), thereby improving the killing of tumors by immune cells
