Overview

Generic Name(s):
trastuzumab
Trade Name(s):
Herceptin
NCI Definition [1]:
A recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). After binding to HER2 on the tumor cell surface, trastuzumab induces an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity against tumor cells that overexpress HER2. HER2 is overexpressed by many adenocarcinomas, particularly breast adenocarcinomas. (NCI04)

Biomarker-Directed Therapies

Trastuzumab has been investigated in 205 clinical trials, of which 146 are open and 59 are closed. Of the trials investigating trastuzumab, 3 are early phase 1 (2 open), 31 are phase 1 (19 open), 28 are phase 1/phase 2 (19 open), 106 are phase 2 (76 open), 3 are phase 2/phase 3 (2 open), 31 are phase 3 (25 open), and 3 are no phase specified (3 open).

ERBB2 Amplification, HER2 Positive, and HER2 Overexpression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for trastuzumab clinical trials.

Breast carcinoma, adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, and gastric adenocarcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in trastuzumab clinical trials [2].
