NCIt definition : A recombinant soluble dimeric fusion protein consisting of the extracellular ligand-binding
region of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rhTNF) receptor attached to the
constant (Fc) region of human immunoglobulin G (FcIgG). The receptor moiety of etanercept
binds to circulating TNF (2 molecules of TNF per receptor) and inhibits its attachment
to endogenous TNF cell surface receptors, thereby rendering TNF inactive and inhibiting
TNF-mediated mechanisms of inflammation. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug that is commonly used to treat arthritis. It is also being studied
in the treatment of cancer, and as a treatment for loss of appetite and weight loss
in cancer patients. It belongs to the family of drugs called tumor necrosis factor
(TNF) antagonists.;
