Potential Mechanisms of Action of Trastuzumab: Preclinical Studies
Cytostatic
– Inhibits tumor cell proliferation by downregulating HER2 expression
and blocking heterodimerization with other HER members
– Induces G1 arrest and p27 cell cycle inhibitor
– Blocks HER2 cleavage/constitutive activation
Cytotoxic
– Initiates Fc-receptor–mediated antibody-dependent cellular
cytotoxicity and complement-mediated cytolysis
– Potentiates chemotherapy (promotes apoptosis)

HER2 and Herceptin
HER2-positive breast cancer is associated with early progression and poor overall prognosis
20-25% of women with breast cancer have HER2-positive disease
Targeting HER2 with Herceptin is associated with significant survival benefits in women with metastatic breast cancer
Early and accurate determination of HER2 status has prognostic and therapeutic importance

Conclusions
Herceptin following adjuvant CT significantly prolongs DFS in women with HER2-positive breast cancer
Herceptin significantly reduces the risk of distant metastases
Herceptin was associated with a low incidence of severe CHF (0.5%)
Long-term follow-up will provide
– clarification of the survival gain
– further safety data
– information on optimum Herceptin treatment duration (1 vs 2 years)

Summary
Herceptin given concurrently with paclitaxel following AC
– significantly reduces the risk of DFS events by 52%
– significantly reduces the risk of distant recurrence by 53%
– significantly improves overall survival, with a 33% reduced risk of
mortality
The risk of cardiac events was low
– <4% incidence, Herceptin vs non-Herceptin in both trials
– risk of cardiac events may increase with age

Conclusions
Adjuvant Herceptin is recommended for patients with HER2-
positive early breast cancer
– unless a specific contraindication exists
– can be administered concomitantly with radiotherapy
Careful monitoring of cardiac function is essential with adjuvant
Herceptin therapy

Conclusions
BCIRG 006 has confirmed the benefit of Herceptin in early breast cancer
With a favourable overall safety profile, the
risk : benefit ratio warrants the use of Herceptin
in early breast cancer
Preliminary data on topo IIα status suggest that
not all patients benefit equally from anthracyclines
Cardiac safety improves with DCarboH
Further follow-up is required to determine whether efficacy differs
between ACDH and DCarboH

Guidelines on HER2 Testing
NCCN Clinical Practice Guideline (2004):
– Recommends HER2 testing for all invasive breast cancer
cases, using IHC and/or FISH
– FISH retesting of IHC 2+ recommended
ASCO Practice Guideline for Tumor Markers (2000):
– HER2 overexpression should be evaluated on every
primary breast cancer either at the time of diagnosis or at
the time of recurrence. Measures of HER2 amplification
may also be of value.

Guidelines on HER2 Testing (cont.)
College of American Pathologists consensus statement (2003):
– Laboratories should calculate their FISH/IHC concordance
rates
– If FISH-neg/IHC 0 and FISH-pos/IHC 3+ concordance is
>95%:
OK to use IHC as screening test
All IHC 1+ and 2+ should be retested by FISH
– If FISH-neg/IHC 1+ concordance is also >95%, OK to not
retest IHC 1+ with FISH, but should document in a path
report comment
– If do not wish to check concordance, or concordance
<95%, consider performing both IHC and FISH on all
samples
