Pertuzumab & Trastuzumab
Regimen
Study | Dates of enrollment | Evidence | Efficacy |
---|---|---|---|
Meric-Bernstam et al. 2019 (MyPathway) | 2014-2017 | Phase 2a | ORR: 32% (95% CI 20-45%) |
Biomarker eligibility criteria
- HER2 amplification
Patients enrolled in MyPathway had ECOG 0-2 Diagnostic criteria for Her2 positivity in MyPathway:
- Patients with solid tumors that have HER2 overexpression, amplification, or HER2-activating mutation as identified by assays performed at a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified laboratory.
- Assays using in situ hybridization (fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] or chromogenic in situ hybridization [CISH]) must indicate the presence of gene amplification with a HER2/CEP17 ratio of ≥ 2 or HER2 gene copy number > 6.0.
- Assays using IHC must indicate a score of 3 +.
- Assays using next generation sequencing (NGS) of genes with known or potentially clinically relevant alterations or analysis by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) must identify clinically activating mutations (those with major coding disruptions resulting in an amino acid change that is likely to be detrimental to protein function, including premature stop codons or frameshift mutations early in the coding region) or copy number gain.
- In cases where multiple assays are done, HER2 positivity by any of the testing methodologies would make the patient eligible as long as eligibility criteria are fulfilled.
Targeted therapy
- Pertuzumab (Perjeta) as follows:
- Cycle 1: 840 mg IV once on day 1
- Cycle 2 onwards: 420 mg IV once on day 1
- Trastuzumab (Herceptin) as follows:
- Cycle 1: 8 mg/kg IV once on day 1
- Cycle 2 onwards: 6 mg/kg IV once on day 1
21-day cycles
