Trastuzumab and pertuzumab bind to different regions on HER2 and may have synergistic activity Trastuzumab HER2 Pertuzumab HER3 Subdomain IV of HER2 Trastuzumab does not inhibit HER2 dimerization, thus blocking HER2:HER3 Trastuzumab prevents HER2 receptor shedding Trastuzumab blocks HER2 signaling and flags cells for destruction by the immune system Dimerization domain of HER2 Pertuzumab inhibits HER2 from forming dimer pairs Flags cells for destruction by the immune system Pertuzumab does not prevent HER2 receptor shedding

How to Deploy HER2 therapy First Line Pertuzumab Trastuzumab Taxane PFS 18.5 months and proven survival advantage Safe Well tolerated. Chemotherapy for less than 6 months No TDM1 data yet. When available think concomitant vs. sequential Pay attention to PI3K mutant subtype
How to Deploy HER2 therapy Second Line TDM1 PFS 9.6 months and proven survival advantage Safe and well tolerated.
How to Deploy HER2 therapy Third Line and Beyond Capecitabine and Lapatinib Trastuzumab and Lapatinib Everolimus and Trastuzumab Trastuzumab and other chemotherapies TDM1 or Trastuzumab-Pertuzumab if not prior
How to Deploy HER2 therapy Issues to keep in mind Brain metastasis monitoring and treatment Is dual HER2 blockade better that single agent HER2 beyond progression Pertuzumab beyond progression Role of Pi3K mutations Neratinib versus lapatinib? Role of hormonal therapy with dual blockade
