What is Perjeta?

Perjeta contains the prescription medicine pertuzumab and is used for the treatment of cancer. Perjeta is used to treat metastatic breast cancer (MBC), which is breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Treatment is given in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel as this improves the ability of Perjeta to fight the cancer. Perjeta can also be used in combination with these medicines to treat early breast cancer.

Perjeta is given directly into a vein as an infusion, this will be done by your doctor or healthcare professional. The infusion is normally given once every 3 weeks. Your doctor will decide the exact dose you will take.

Your heart function will need to be monitored before and during treatment with Perjeta as it can cause serious heart problems. You should not use Perjeta if you are pregnant as it can cause birth defects or death to your unborn baby. You are advised to not get pregnant when using Perjeta and for at least 7 months after you stop taking it.

Perjeta active ingredients

Pertuzumab is classed as a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody, meaning it is grown from animal cells, but changed using recombinant DNA technology to be suitable for human use.

Pertuzumab works by blocking what is known as the HER2 (human epidermal growth factor) receptor from interacting with specific proteins that would normally attach themselves to it. Through a process of chemical signals in your body, this leads to cell death, helping to get rid of unwanted abnormal cells in your body.

Also, pertuzumab itself is known to coat the target cancer cells. Certain white blood cells then bind to these antibodies on the surface and release toxins into the cancer cell helping to kill it. This is known as antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity, (ADCC).
