Overview

This is a combination regimen consisting of four drugs: - **Trastuzumab** is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), inhibiting HER2-mediated signaling and inducing antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. - **Leucovorin** (folinic acid) enhances the binding of 5-fluorouracil to thymidylate synthase, increasing its cytotoxic effect. - **5-Fluorouracil** is an antimetabolite that inhibits thymidylate synthase, disrupting DNA synthesis and leading to cell death. - **Oxaliplatin** is a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent that forms DNA crosslinks, inhibiting DNA replication and transcription. This combination has been studied as first-line or perioperative therapy for patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. The addition of trastuzumab to oxaliplatin-based regimens like mFOLFOX6 improves survival outcomes in this population. The regimen acts through both targeted therapy (trastuzumab) and cytotoxic chemotherapy (the other agents)[1][2][7].
