摘要
The HER-2/neu protein is thought to be a unique and useful target for antibody therapy of cancers overexpressing the HER-2/neu gene. The recombinant humanized anti-HER-2 monoclonal antibody, trastuzumab (Herceptin ™) is now available for clinical use in the U.S.A. It is also expected to be available in Japan in the near future. In this paper, the details of this novel biologic agent are reviewed in conjunction with a phase I study performed in Japan.
