both receptors negative or unknown); preoperative HER2-directed therapy (trastuzumab alone vs. trastuzumab plus an additional HER2-directed agent); and pathological nodal status after neoadjuvant ...
Background: Variable rates of HER2 protein overexpression and gene amplification have been reported in advanced ovarian cancers (AOC). Trastuzumab, tested only as a single agent, has been shown to ...
Therapies that specifically target HER2 include Herceptin (trastuzumab), Perjeta (pertuzumab), and T-DM1 (trastuzumab emtansine) which is sold under the brand name Kadcycla. Treatment of early ...
Trastuzumab deruxtecan is approved for HR-positive, HER2-low/ultralow metastatic breast cancer post-endocrine therapy, based on DESTINY-Breast06 trial results. The trial showed a 36% reduction in ...
In patients with high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer, post-surgery, or adjuvant, treatment with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) reduced the long-term risk of death or invasive disease by 46% and ...
In the HER2-low population, treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 38% compared with chemotherapy. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA ...
Patients with residual invasive HER2-positive early breast cancer after neoadjuvant systemic therapy have a poor prognosis. Adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab emtansine has shown improved outcomes.
NICE says that there is some evidence that adding Perjeta to standard adjuvant treatment with Roche’s older HER2 drug Herceptin (trastuzumab) or a biosimilar and chemotherapy reduces the risk of ...
after a first course of chemotherapy and dual blockade and HER2 blockade with pertuzumab [Perjeta]/trastuzumab [Herceptin], usually treat with the maintenance treatment with pertuzumab/trastuzumab ...
