Necitumumab (INN) is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody used as an antineoplastic, which is manufactured by Eli Lilly. It binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).[2] The US FDA approved necitumumab under the brand name Portrazza for use with gemcitabine and cisplatin in previously untreated metastatic squamous non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).[3][4][5] It was counterproductive in non-squamous non-small-cell lung carcinoma.[5][6]
