Trastuzumab and Lapatinib Resistance in
Breast Cancer: Clinical Considerations
• Less than a third of patients with HER2+ MBC
respond to single-agent trastuzumab or lapatinib
• Most responding patients develop progressive
disease within one year.
• Approximately 15% of patients with early-stage
breast cancer develop metastatic disease
regardless of trastuzumab adjuvant therapy

Trastuzumab-DM1
– Binds to HER2 with affinity similar to trastuzumab
– Provides intracellular delivery of anti-microtubule agent DM1
• Binds to tubulin competitively with vinca alkaloids, 20-100 times
more potently than vincristine2-4
– Combines trastuzumab mediated inhibition of HER2 signaling with
selective delivery of potent cytotoxic

Future Directions
• Incorporate prospective tissue collection in clinical trials to
assess molecular changes in breast cancer tissue
– Characterize mechanisms of action and resistance
– Identify patients most likely to benefit
• Preclinical and clinical development of novel combination
targeting receptors and pathways
• Integrate non-invasive methods to monitor response to
treatment
• Characterize the potential toxicity of long-term pathway
blockade (especially important in adjuvant setting)
