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).

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 ...

HERMIONE: a randomized Phase 2 trial of MM-302 plus trastuzumab versus chemotherapy of physician's choice plus trastuzumab in patients with previously treated, anthracycline-naïve, HER2-positive, locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer. [PDF]
BackgroundHuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is a particularly aggressive form of the disease, and ultimately progresses in patients with metastases on standard therapies.

To improve the efficacy of trastuzumab, it is essential to understand its mechanism of action. One of the significant issues that makes it difficult to determine the precise mechanism of trastuzumab action is the formation of various HER receptor dimers ...

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.

An Overview of Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) Methods for the Quantification of Antibody-Drug Conjugates. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Antibody‐drug conjugates (ADCs) are innovative drugs composed of cytotoxic molecules (payload) linked to antibodies, that selectively target and kill cancer cells upon internalization. In vivo, ADCs exist as intact molecules, naked antibodies, or released, unconjugated (linker‐)payload.

Systems analysis of drug-induced receptor tyrosine kinase reprogramming following targeted mono- and combination anti-cancer therapy [PDF]
The receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are key drivers of cancer progression and targets for drug therapy. A major challenge in anti-RTK treatment is the dependence of drug effectiveness on co-expression of multiple RTKs which defines resistance to single ...
