Mechanism of action

Docetaxel stabilizes microtubules and prevents cell division. Trastuzumab binds HER2 and blocks its signaling while recruiting immune cells to kill cancer cells. Pertuzumab binds a different epitope on HER2 and prevents HER2 dimerization with other receptors. Together, this triple combination provides synergistic anti-tumor activity in HER2-positive cancers.
