Title:
Trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for treatment of HER2-positive advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer (ToGA): a phase 3, open-label, randomised controlled trial
Excerpt:Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; also known as ERBB2), was investigated in combination with chemotherapy for first-line treatment of HER2-positive advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer...Median follow-up was 18.6 months (IQR 11-25) in the trastuzumab plus chemotherapy group and 17.1 months (9-25) in the chemotherapy alone group. Median overall survival was 13.8 months (95% CI 12-16) in those assigned to trastuzumab plus chemotherapy compared with 11.1 months (10-13) in those assigned to chemotherapy alone (hazard ratio 0.74; 95% CI 0.60-0.91; p=0.0046).

Title:
Trastuzumab combined with irinotecan in patients with HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer: A phase II single-arm study and exploratory biomarker analysis
Excerpt:Twenty-one HER2-positive mCRC patients were enrolled in this study. Seven (33.3%) patients achieved an objective response, and 11 (52.4%) patients had stable disease as their best response. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.3 months (95% CI: 2.7 - 5.9 m)....Trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy is a potentially effective and well-tolerated therapeutic regimen in mCRC with a high HER2 copy number.

Predictive Roles of HER2 Gene Amplification and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio on Survival in HER2-Positive Advanced Gastric Cancer Treated With Trastuzumab-Based Chemotherapy
Excerpt:We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 112 patients between 28 and 91 years old (median of 66 y) with AGC treated with first-line trastuzumab-based chemotherapy….Objective response rate in both high HER2/CEP17 ratio (59.4% vs. 28.1%, P=0.012) and HER2 GCN groups (62.1% vs. 33.3%, P=0.032) was higher than that of each group.

Excerpt:Patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer displaying HER2 overexpression or amplification were randomized to trastuzumab plus chemotherapy...or 5-fluorouracil plus cisplatin (XP/FP)] or to chemotherapy alone....HER2 testing was performed in a central laboratory (Targos Molecular Pathology GmbH, Kassel, Germany) by IHC [HercepTest™ (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark)] and FISH [HER2 FISH pharmDx™ (Dako)] in parallel...The addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy significantly prolongs survival compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction tumors that show HER2 overexpression or gene amplification (median overall survival: 13.8 months vs. 11.1 months, respectively; HR 0.74; 95 % CI, 0.60–0.91)
