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). |
