Ertumaxomab (trade name Rexomun) is a rat-murine hybrid monoclonal antibody designed to treat some types of cancer. Phase II clinical trial evaluating the treatment of breast cancer was terminated due to change in Fresenius' development plans.[1] (So they could concentrate on their other product catumaxomab (trade name Removab).[2]:35)
It is a so-called trifunctional antibody which works by linking T-lymphocytes and macrophages to the cancer cells.[3]
