HercepTest is a semi-quantitative immunocytochemical assay to determine HER2 protein overexpression in breast cancer tissues routinely processed for histological evaluation and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cancer tissue from patients with metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. HercepTest is indicated as an aid in the assessment of breast and gastric cancer patients for whom Herceptin (trastuzumab) treatment is being considered and for breast cancer patients for whom PERJETA (pertuzumab) treatment or KADCYLA (ado-trastuzumab emtansine) treatment is being considered (see Herceptin, PERJETA and KADCYLA package inserts).

NOTE for breast cancer only: All of the patients in the Herceptin clinical trials were selected using an investigational immunocytochemical clinical trial assay (CTA). None of the patients in those trials were selected using the HercepTest. The HercepTest was compared to the CTA on an independent set of samples and found to provide acceptably concordant results. The actual correlation of the HercepTest to Herceptin clinical outcome has not been established.

NOTE for gastric cancer only: All of the patients in the phase III BO18255 (ToGA) study sponsored by Hoffmann-La Roche were selected using Dako HercepTest (IHC) and Dako HER2 FISH pharmDx™ Kit (FISH). However, enrollment in the BO18255 study was limited to patients whose tumors were HER2 protein overexpressing (IHC 3+) or gene amplified (FISH+; HER2/CEN-17 ratio ≥ 2.0). No patients were enrolled whose tumors were not gene amplified but HER2 protein weakly to strongly overexpressing [FISH(-)/IHC 2+], therefore it is unclear if patients whose tumors are not gene amplified but HER2 protein overexpressing [i.e., FISH(-), IHC 2+ or 3+] will benefit from Herceptin treatment. The study also demonstrated that gene amplification and protein overexpression (IHC) are not as correlated as with breast cancer, therefore a single method should not be used to determine HER2 status.
