Overview
Enhertu 100mg Powder For Injection contains trastuzumab deruxtecan, a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate given by intravenous infusion under oncology specialist supervision, used to treat HER2-positive and certain HER2-low breast cancers, as well as HER2-positive gastric cancer.
It combines an antibody that specifically recognises the HER2 protein on cancer cells with a potent chemotherapy payload attached to it. Once the antibody binds to HER2 on a cancer cell, the cell absorbs the whole complex and releases the chemotherapy component inside the cell, destroying it while limiting exposure to healthy cells.
How it Works
The antibody portion of Enhertu binds specifically to HER2 protein on the surface of cancer cells. The cancer cell then internalises the whole complex, releasing the attached cytotoxic (cell-killing) chemotherapy component inside the cell, which disrupts DNA and leads to cancer cell death while reducing exposure of normal cells.
