How HGS-TR2J works
HGS-TR2J binds TRAIL Receptor 2 with high affinity, induces apoptosis and has anti-tumor activity, both as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy. HGS-TR2J mimics the activity of native TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) and, thus, is considered an agonistic antibody. Numerous nonclinical studies have shown that cell lines derived from a broad array of solid and hematological human tumors, including lung, colon, breast, multiple myeloma, prostate and pancreas, are sensitive to killing by apoptosis (programmed cell death) induced by native TRAIL or by agonistic antibodies to TRAIL Receptors 1 and 2.2-24.
