Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Lapatinib | Tykerb | Lapatinib Ditosylate | EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 62 HER2 Inhibitor 42 | Tykerb (lapatinib) reversibly inhibits ERBB2 (HER2) and EGFR, resulting in decreased downstream signaling and potentially leading to reduced tumor growth (PMID: 22477724). Tykerb (lapatinib) is FDA approved for ERBB2 (HER2)-positive (overexpressing) breast cancer (FDA.gov). |
Paclitaxel | Taxol | 7-Epipaclitaxel | Antimicrotubule Agent 14 BCL2 Family Inhibitor 6 | Taxol (paclitaxel) binds to tubulin to inhibit microtubule disassembly, which results in decreased cell division, and also binds to the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, promoting apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Trastuzumab | Herceptin | Anti HER2 | HER2 (ERBB2) Antibody 76 | Herceptin (trastuzumab) is a monoclonal antibody, which binds ERBB2 (HER2) to induce tumor cellular cytotoxicity (PMID: 17611206). Herceptin (trastuzumab) is FDA approved for HER2-overexpressing (or amplification) breast cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (FDA.gov). |

PIK3CA wild-type | Her2-receptor positive breast cancer | sensitive | Lapatinib + Paclitaxel + Trastuzumab | Phase II | Actionable | In a Phase II trial, the combination of Taxol (paclitaxel) plus Herceptin (trastuzumab) and Tykerb (lapatinib) resulted in a higher pathologic complete remission rate in ERBB2 (HER2)-receptor positive breast cancer patients with PIK3CA wild-type compared to those harboring a PIK3CA mutation (PMID: 26245675). | 26245675 |
