Study of Cipterbin®, Used Alone or With Vinorelbine in Patients With HER2/Neu-overexpressed Metastatic Breast Cancer

Summary

The HER2 gene (also known as HER2/neu and ErbB2 gene) is overexpressed in 20-30% of human breast cancers and leads to a particularly aggressive form of the disease. Trastuzumab,a humanized anti-HER2/neu receptor monoclonal antibody, has been proved a valuable treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer patients.The combination of trastuzumab with chemotherapy has been shown to increase both survival and response rate, in comparison to trastuzumab alone. CMAB302, a biosimilar of trastuzumab, was developed by Shanghai CP Guojian Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd. Efficacy and safety of CMAB302 as a single agent or in combination with vinorelbine were evaluated in patients with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
