Pertuzumab ELISA Kit

Pertuzumab (also called 2C4, trade name Perjeta) is a humanized (from mouse) monoclonal antibody (mAb) used in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel for the treatment of metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) -positive breast cancer; it also used in the same combination as a neoadjuvant in early HER2-positive breast cancer. It was discovered and developed by Genentech, a subsidiary of Roche, and was first approved in 2012. It is manufactured recombinantly in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The monoclonal antibody 2C4 appears to have first been published in 1990 by scientists from Genentech. By 2003 Genentech understood that 2C4 prevented HER2 dimerizing with other HER receptors and had begun Phase I trials, aiming for a broad range of cancers, not just one’s overexpressing HER2. It was the first known HER dimerization inhibitor. In 2005 Genentech presented poor results of Phase II trials of pertuzumab as a single agent in prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers, and said that it intended to continue developing it in combination with other drugs for ovarian cancer. In 2007 Genentech dropped the trade name Omnitarg. In 2012 the results were published of the CLEOPATRA trial, a randomized placebo-controlled Phase III trial of pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Pertuzumab received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer later that year. The FDA approved the neoadjuvant indication in 2013. Pertuzumab was approved in Europe in 2013.
