HER2 Dimerization Inhibitor Pertuzumab - Mode of Action and Clinical Data in Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Results of the pivotal phase III study CLEOPATRA in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer demonstrated that the addition of pertuzumab to first-line combination therapy with docetaxel and trastuzumAB significantly prolonged progression-free and overall survival without increasing cardiac toxicity.

Cardiotoxicity of novel HER2-targeted therapies

TL;DR: Cardiac dysfunction rate of the novel HER2-targeted therapies is significantly lower than the trastuzumab and combination of these agents with trastzumab did not significantly increase the cardiac adverse events.

Pertuzumab in HER2-positive breast cancer.

TL;DR: Pertuzumab is the first HER dimerization inhibitor with a mechanism of action complementary to trastuzumabs, and studies with anti-HER2 combination treatments indicate that the use of more than one HER2-targeted therapy was superior to one of these agents alone.
