Biosimilars

What is a Biosimilar?

  • Biosimilars are biologic medicines that are highly similar to their reference biologics, as they have demonstrated no clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity, and potency compared to that of the reference biologics1
  • Biosimilar medicines may offer a less costly alternative to existing biological medicinal products

How do you Characterize a Biosimilar?

  • There are more than 20 physicochemical and 9 functional assays that are used to evaluate the similarity between HertrazTM and its reference medicine1,2

About HertrazTM

HertrazTM, the World’s First Trastuzumab Biosimilar

Trastuzumab for injection, 150 mg/440 mg1

trastuzumab

What is trastuzumab?

Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the HER2 protein.2

trastuzumab_work11

How does trastuzumab work?

Trastuzumab blocks the activity of the HER2 protein, which plays an important role in the control of cell growth.2

trastuzumab_work2

By targeting only cancerous cells, trastuzumab avoids harming healthy cells.2

A biosimilar and its reference medicine are expected to have the same safety and efficacy profile and are generally used to treat the same conditions.3

Safety

Abridged Prescribing Information

Early Breast Cancer (EBC)

HertrazTM is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer.

HertrazTM should only be used in MBC or EBC patients who have tumours with either overexpression of HER2, or HER2 gene amplification.

Metastatic Gastric Cancer (MGC)

HertrazTM in combination with capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction who have not received prior anti-cancer treatment for their metastatic disease.

HertrazTM should be used in only those MGC patients whose tumours overexpress HER2, as defined by:

  • IHC2+ plus a confirmatory silver in situ hybridisation (SISH) or fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) result, OR
  • IHC 3+ result
