  "term": "sevabertinib",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "An orally bioavailable, mutant-selective, dual kinase inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, sevabertinib targets, binds to, and inhibits the activity of EGFR and HER2 with exon20 insertion mutations, as well as EGFR with C797X mutations, thereby preventing EGFR- and HER2-mediated signaling. This may result in the inhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis, and tumor regression in EGFR/HER2-expressing tumors. EGFR and HER2 are receptor tyrosine kinases that play major roles in tumor cell proliferation and tumor vascularization.",
