MFDS ingredient code M258185
Pertuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the HER2 receptor. It is used as an anticancer agent to inhibit the growth of HER2-overexpressing cancer cells. It is primarily utilized in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer.
Pertuzumab binds to the HER2 receptors on the surface of cancer cells, disrupting the formation of receptor dimers. This blockage of cancer cell growth signaling leads to the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. It also aids the immune system in recognizing and attacking cancer cells.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Unlike trastuzumab, pertuzumab binds to a different site on the HER2 receptor, providing a complementary action. This results in an enhanced therapeutic effect when the two drugs are used in combination. Its characteristic feature is its specialization in targeted therapy as a monoclonal antibody.
