drug_description
A HER2-targeted antibody–drug conjugate composed of a humanized anti‑HER2 monoclonal antibody linked via an enzyme‑cleavable linker to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload; binding to HER2 (ERBB2) leads to internalization and intracellular release of the cytotoxic payload, inducing DNA damage and tumor cell death with potential bystander effect.

nci_thesaurus_definition
An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (EGFR2; HER2; ErbB2) conjugated, via an enzyme-cleavable linker, to a topoisomerase I (TopoI) inhibitor payload, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of the anti-HER2/topoisomerase I inhibitor ADC TQB2102, the anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody moiety targets and binds to HER2 expressed on tumor cells. Upon cellular uptake, the TopoI inhibitor inhibits DNA topoisomerase I activity, thereby inhibiting DNA replication which results in cell cycle arrest and tumor cell apoptosis. This inhibits the proliferation of HER2-expressing tumor cells. HER2, a tyrosine kinase receptor, is overexpressed by many cancer cell types.

drug_mechanism_of_action
HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate: a humanized anti-HER2 antibody binds ERBB2 on tumor cells, is internalized, and an enzyme-cleavable linker releases a topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibitor payload intracellularly, inhibiting Topo I to cause DNA damage, cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, and potential bystander killing.
