Targeting HER2-Expressing Cancers with Bispecific Antibodies

HER2 plays an important role in cell growth and survival, but many cancers including biliary tract, gastric, breast and colorectal can overexpress this protein, leading to uncontrolled cell growth. Learn more about how Jazz is furthering the science around targeting HER2-protein expression across multiple solid tumor types with a novel, HER2-targeted bispecific antibody.

Did You Know?

HER2 is a protein located in all cells and plays an important role in cell growth and survival. In certain cancers with solid tumors, HER2 can be produced in higher quantities, impacting patients’ overall prognosis. Currently, there are no approved targeted therapies for HER2 that can work across many tumor types. Learn more about the role of HER2 in one specific tumor type, biliary tract cancers.

Expanding What Is Possible in Targeted Oncology

Jazz Pharmaceuticals is determined to disrupt the status quo in targeted oncology by exploring breakthrough investigational molecules, including one that may expand the applicability of targeting the HER2 protein that is present in many solid tumor types. Learn more from some of our leaders in R&D as they work to make this a reality for patients in need.

“Developing novel ways to target specific proteins like HER2 may lead to improved standards of care in oncology, which is particularly needed for difficult-to-treat cancers, like those arising in the stomach or biliary tract. Due to their aggressive natures, these cancers present challenges for treatment and typically have poor prognoses for patients. I’m excited to be leading a team that’s developing an investigational treatment that targets these and other HER2-expressing solid tumor types.”
