---|---|---|---|---|
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). |
Pertuzumab | Perjeta | 2C4 Antibody | HER2 (ERBB2) Antibody 76 | Perjeta (pertuzumab) is a monoclonal antibody that binds ERBB2 (HER2) to prevent dimerization and subsequent HER signaling, thereby resulting in apoptosis and tumor growth inhibition (PMID: 15699478). Perjeta (pertuzumab) is FDA approved in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab) and Taxotere (docetaxel) for patients with ERBB2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer and in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab) and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for patients with ERBB2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (FDA.gov). |
