In Calu-3 NSCLC xenografts, monotherapy with pertuzumab or trastuzumab is able to
significantly inhibit tumor growth, with treatment-to-control ratios (TCR) of 0.23 and 0.27
respectively. The combination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab produces a dramatically
enhanced antitumor activity compared with single-agent treatments (TCR 0.05, resulting
in tumor regression and, in 3 of 10 animals, complete tumor remission). Treatment of
KPL-4 breast cancer xenografts with either trastuzumab or pertuzumab inhibits tumor
growth with TCRs of 0.67 and 0.65, respectively. Pertuzumab maintains antitumor activity
after progression on trastuzumab.
MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for
reference only.
