  "term": "Becotatug",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "A human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, becotatug targets, binds to and prevents the activation of EGFR. This inhibits EGFR-mediated signaling and proliferation of EGFR-expressing tumor cells. In addition, JMT101 may induce antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against EGFR-expressing tumor cells. EGFR, a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family, is overexpressed on various tumor cell types.",
