SHR-A1811 Injection ; Pertuzumab Injection
Pertuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to HER2 and blocks its dimerization with other HER receptors, inhibiting tumor cell growth signaling.
Pertuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to HER2 and blocks its dimerization with other HER receptors, inhibiting tumor cell growth signaling. Used for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy), HER2-positive early breast cancer (neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings).

Mechanism of action
Pertuzumab targets the extracellular domain II of HER2, preventing ligand-induced heterodimerization of HER2 with HER3 and other HER family members. This dual mechanism—direct HER2 blockade combined with prevention of HER2-HER3 signaling—leads to reduced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway activation, resulting in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HER2-overexpressing tumors.
