Could Pharmacogenomics Improve Efficacy and Safety of Trastuzumab?

Trastuzumab (Herceptin™) is a humanized anti-ErbB2 monoclonal antibody that has been approved for the treatment in the adjuvant and the metastatic setting of breast cancer patients that either overexpress ErbB2, or demonstrate ErbB2 gene amplification. An important serious adverse event associated with trastuzumab is the reduction of left heart ejection fraction resulting to congestive heart failure. The role of pharmacogenomics in breast cancer targeted treatment has been well recognized. However, data on the role of pharmacogenomics on the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab are still scarce.
