5Kitasato-Harvard Symposium 10/03/2002 HER2 Overexpression A Key Strategy for Clinical Development of Trastuzumab Patient population for Trastuzumab was focused on MBC patients diagnosed as HER2 amplification/overexpression in the clinical development (Phase I - III). HER2 detection assay had been developed prior to the clinical studies. Clinical Trial Assay (CTA) by Genentech Development of HercepTest ® by DAKO Know-how and expertise of CTA transferred to DAKO by GNE FISH test Confirmation of the concordance have been done by GNE using clinical trials samples, retrospectively.

18Kitasato-Harvard Symposium 10/03/2002 Conclusions Trastuzumab is a HER2 specific humanised monoclonal antibody, providing survival benefit for metastatic breast cancer patients with HER2/neu gene amplification/HER2 overexpression. Patient population for Trastuzumab should be selected based on diagnosis of HER2 status, where the efficacy of trastuzumab correlated with the level of HER2 status. Development of standardised diagnostic methods for HER2 status was indispensable for the clinical development of Trastuzumab. HER2 diagnosis algorithm needs to be implemented in the clinical practice for breast cancer patients.
