Advanced Merkel Cell Carcinoma Overview
Advanced Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine skin tumor characterized by a high rate of locoregional recurrence, metastasis, and mortality. The standard treatment for localized MCC includes surgical resection, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and radiotherapy, while chemotherapy plays a crucial role in managing advanced stages. However, there is no conclusive evidence regarding the survival benefit of radiotherapy in advanced stages, and chemotherapy often provides only temporary relief, highlighting the need for alternative therapies. Molecular studies have identified several pathways involved in MCC, prompting the development of novel treatments targeting angiogenic factors, anti-apoptotic molecules, poly-ADP ribose polymerase, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, and somatostatin receptors.

Advanced Merkel Cell Carcinoma Treatment Analysis: Drug Profile
Tidutamab: Xencor, Inc.
Tidutamab (formerly XmAb18087) is a bispecific antibody designed to target tumors by binding to somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) and CD3. The antibody utilizes Xencor's XmAb® Bispecific Fc Domain, which enhances its circulation half-life, stability, and manufacturability. By engaging CD3, tidutamab activates T cells to efficiently and specifically target and destroy SSTR2-expressing tumor cells.

Cabozantinib: Exelixis
Cabozantinib, marketed as CABOMETYX, is approved in the U.S. for treating advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients previously treated with sorafenib, and advanced RCC as a first-line treatment in combination with nivolumab. It is also approved for pediatric and adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who are refractory to or ineligible for radioactive iodine. In Europe and other global markets, CABOMETYX has received additional regulatory approvals. Exelixis holds exclusive commercialization rights in the U.S., while Ipsen and Takeda have rights in other regions. Cabozantinib is currently being evaluated in a Phase II clinical trial for advanced Merkel cell carcinoma.
