Zenocutuzumab, sold under the brand name Bizengri, is a humanized monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer or pancreatic cancer.[1] It is a low-fucose humanized full-length immunoglobulin G1 bispecific HER2- and HER3-directed antibody.[1]

The most common adverse reactions include diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, nausea, infusion-related reactions, dyspnea, rash, constipation, vomiting, abdominal pain, and edema.[3] The most common grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities include increased gamma-glutamyl transferase, decreased hemoglobin, decreased sodium, and decreased platelets.[3]

Zenocutuzumab was approved for medical use in the United States in December 2024.[3][4][5] It is the first approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of a systemic therapy for people with non-small cell lung cancer or pancreatic adenocarcinoma harboring an neuregulin 1 gene fusion.[3] The FDA considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[6]
