Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and trastuzumab versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by post-operative trastuzumab for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer [PDF]
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus trastuzumab (NCT) increases the rate of pathological complete response (pCR) and event-free survival (EFS) compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) alone in women with HER2 positive breast cancer (BC).

Trastuzumab: triumphs and tribulations [PDF]
The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) tyrosine kinase receptor is overexpressed in approximately 20-30% of human breast cancers, and is associated with reduced survival. Hence, numerous therapeutic strategies have been tested for their ability to target the HER2 protein.

Introduction Trastuzumab, as the gold standard for HER2-positive BC treatment, was the first-line HER2 targeted drug. However, some studies reported patients benefited more from lapatinib and lapatinib plus trastuzumab therapy than standard trastuzumab ...

Regioselective and stoichiometrically controlled conjugation of photodynamic sensitizers to a HER2 targeting antibody fragment [PDF]
The rapidly increasing interest in the synthesis of antibody–drug conjugates as powerful targeted anticancer agents demonstrates the growing appreciation of the power of antibodies and antibody fragments as highly selective targeting moieties.

Implications of subcutaneous or intravenous delivery of trastuzumab: further insight from patient interviews in the PrefHer study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The 2 Cohort randomised PrefHer trial examined the preferences of HER2+ve primary breast cancer patients for intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) delivery of trastuzumab via a Single Injectable Device (SID) or hand-held syringe (HHS).

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Previously Treated HER2-Positive Breast Cancer.
BACKGROUND Trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201) is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti-HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) antibody, a cleavable tetrapeptide-based linker, and a cytotoxic topoisomerase I inhibitor.

Disrupting Circadian Rhythm via the PER1–HK2 Axis Reverses Trastuzumab Resistance in Gastric Cancer
In trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive gastric cancer, glycolysis fluctuates with a circadian oscillation regulated by the BMAL1–CLOCK–PER1–HK2 axis, which can be disrupted with a metformin-based chronotherapy to overcome trastuzumab resistance.

Intravenous and subcutaneous formulations of trastuzumab, and trastuzumab biosimilars: implications for clinical practice [PDF]
AbstractTrastuzumab is a biologic therapy indicated for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer and metastatic gastric cancer. Trastuzumab was originally approved as an intravenous (IV) formulation but has since been developed for subcutaneous (SC) administration for patients with HER2-positive breast ...

First-line therapy in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. Is the mosaic fully completed or are we missing additional pieces? [PDF]
The discovery of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and its role in the biology of breast cancer and the subsequent development of HER2-targeted therapies, have dramatically improved clinical outcomes for women with early-stage and advanced ...

Trastuzumab Emtansine for Residual Invasive HER2‐Positive Breast Cancer
Background Patients who have residual invasive breast cancer after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–targeted therapy have a worse prognosis than those who have no residual cancer.
