(what is this?)
Ertumaxomab (trade name Rexomun) is a rat-murine hybrid monoclonal antibody designed to treat some types of cancer. Phase II clinical trial evaluating the treatment of breast cancer was terminated due to change in Fresenius' development plans.[1]
It is a so-called trifunctional antibody which works by linking T-lymphocytes and macrophages to the cancer cells.[2]
