Identification
Name: trastuzumab
Name (isomeric): DB00072
Drug Type: biotech
Synonyms:
Ig gamma-1 chain C region; Anti HER2

Pharmacology
Indication: For treatment of early stage HER2-positive breast cancer, or metastatic breast cancer that substantially overexpress HER2.
Pharmacology:
Used in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. HER2 protein overexpression is observed in 25%-30% of primary breast cancers.Trastuzumab has been shown, in both in vitro assays and in animals, to inhibit the proliferation of human tumorcells that overexpress HER2. It is a mediator of antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity, in that the bindi...

Mechanism of Action: Trastuzumab binds to the HER2 (or c-erbB2) proto-oncogene, an EGF receptor-like protein found on 20-30% of breast cancer cells. The binding leads to antibody mediated (complement mediated) killing of the HER2 positive cells.
Biotransformation: Most likely removed by opsonization via the reticuloendothelial system.
Half Life: average 28.5 days
Toxicity: Administration of trastuzumab can result in ventricular dysfunction and congestive heart failure. Risk of cardiotocity is especially elevated in patients recieving concurrent anthracycline or cyclophosphamide therapy.
Affected organisms: Humans and other mammals
