Monoclonal antibody
 ☒NcheckY (what is this?)  (verify)

Drozitumab is a human monoclonal antibody in development for the treatment of cancers.[1] It targets Tumour Necrosis Factor Related Apoptosis-inducing Ligand (TRAIL), whose receptors are found on the surface of many types of malignant cells.[2] Drozitumab was developed by Genentech.

Although drozitumab was studied in phase II trials for treating chondrosarcoma, colorectal cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and non-small cell lung cancer, development has been halted due to lack of clinical response.[2]
