Background

Pertuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody, inhibits HER dimerization and is used for the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel. By binding to HER2, Pertuzumab inhibits the dimerization of HER2 with other HER receptors, resulting in slowed tumor growth.
