Comprehensive N-glycan Profiling of Cetuximab Biosimilar Candidates

Cetuximab is a recombinant monoclonal antibody that has been applied for various cancer treatments for many years. Biosimilar candidates for cancer therapies development is of great significance for humans. Based on first-in-class technology platforms, Creative Biolabs has made great achievements in glycoprotein investigations. We are proud to provide high-quality services in N-glycan profiling of biosimilar candidates at the most competitive cost.

Background of Cetuximab Biosimilar Candidates

Therapeutic recombinant monoclonal antibody (mAbs) drugs have emerged as a clinically important drug class, which were mainly used for cancer treatment. There are more than 30 therapeutic antibodies have been approved for clinical use. Cetuximab, a therapeutic mAb drug approved by FDA in 2009, actually is an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor that has been applied for clinical treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, and head and neck cancer. Recent years, studies on biosimilar candidate are increasing. The development of biosimilar candidates of cetuximab is becoming a trend mainly due to:

  • Treatment of cancers with good therapeutic effect and little or no effect
  • Lucrative targets
  • Patent protection has expired
  • The expensiveness of the production and characterization

Why N-glycan Profiling?

  • The attachment N-glycans on mAbs or glycosylation of mAbs is considered to play significant roles in many biological and therapeutic processes such as cell-cell adhesion, cell surface receptor recognition, and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
  • A part of antibodies can’t function without glycans due to that glycans are essential for antibody binding to all Fc gamma receptors.
  • Previous antibody glycan analysis is mainly performed by the 2-aminobenzamide hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) method after glycans released from antibodies, which has limited use for screening a large number of samples

Therefore, N-glycan profiling analysis of the mAbs or biosimilar candidate is becoming an increasingly critical process in antibody characterization and regulatory evaluation. Creative Biolabs has accumulated extensive experience in N-glycan profiling based on powerful technologies.
