Pertuzumab is a recombinant monoclonal antibody that targets the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein. Pertuzumab can be used in the treatment of specific metastatic breast cancers in patients who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease. The HER signaling pathway plays a role in the formation and growth of numerous cancers, and pertuzumab binds to the HER2 receptor to inhibit the ability of HER2 to interact with other HER family members on the surface of cancer cells, therefore blocking this signaling pathway. What type of therapy is pertuzumab?
protein-based therapy
small molecule drug
cell-based therapy
Homework Answers
Answer: Protein based therapy
( Pertuzumab therapy includes the monoclonal antibodies act by joining to the proteins, the HER2 protein makes the cell to grow as well as divide. )

Cetuximab is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer. Cetuximab is a chimeric (mouse/human) monoclonal antibody given by intravenous infusion that is distributed under the trade name Erbitux in the U.S. and Canada by the drug company Eli Lilly and Co. The initial dose is 400 mg/m2 administered over 120 minutes and Cetuximab is available in 100 mL vials containing 200 mg...
