What are Some Examples of Humanized Antibodies in Cancer Therapy?
Several humanized antibodies have been approved for cancer treatment. One prominent example is Herceptin (trastuzumab), which targets the HER2 receptor on breast cancer cells. Another example is Keytruda (pembrolizumab), which targets the PD-1 receptor, a checkpoint inhibitor that helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. These drugs have significantly improved outcomes for many cancer patients.
