OGIVRI
Ogivri is a HER2/neu receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of adults with HER2-overexpressing breast cancer and metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. In the adjuvant breast cancer setting, it is used as part of various multi-drug regimens or as a single agent following anthracycline-based therapy. For metastatic disease, it can be administered as a first-line combination therapy or as a single agent for patients who have previously received chemotherapy. Patient selection for all indications requires the use of an FDA-approved companion diagnostic to confirm HER2 overexpression.
How OGIVRI Works
Ogivri targets the HER2 proto-oncogene, which encodes a transmembrane receptor protein involved in cell signaling. By binding to these receptors, the drug inhibits the proliferation of human tumor cells that overexpress HER2. Additionally, it acts as a mediator of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, a process where the immune system preferentially targets and destroys cancer cells with high HER2 expression.

OGIVRI Boxed Warning
CARDIOMYOPATHY, INFUSION REACTIONS, EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY, and PULMONARY TOXICITY Cardiomyopathy Administration of trastuzumab products can result in sub-clinical and clinical cardiac failure.

WARNING: CARDIOMYOPATHY, INFUSION REACTIONS, EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY, and PULMONARY TOXICITY Cardiomyopathy Administration of trastuzumab products can result in sub-clinical and clinical cardiac failure. The incidence and severity was highest in patients receiving trastuzumab with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy regimens. Evaluate left ventricular function in all patients prior to and during treatment with Ogivri. Discontinue Ogivri treatment in patients receiving adjuvant therapy and withhold Ogivri in patients with metastatic disease for clinically significant decrease in left ventricular function [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Infusion Reactions; Pulmonary Toxicity Administration of trastuzumab products can result in serious and fatal infusion reactions and pulmonary toxicity. Symptoms usually occur during or within 24 hours of administration of trastuzumab products. Interrupt Ogivri infusion for dyspnea or clinically significant hypotension. Monitor patients until symptoms completely resolve. Discontinue Ogivri for anaphylaxis, angioedema, interstitial pneumonitis, or acute respiratory distress syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2 , 5.4 )] . Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Exposure to trastuzumab products during pregnancy can result in oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. Advise patients of these risks and the need for effective contraception [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3 )] . WARNING: CARDIOMYOPATHY, INFUSION REACTIONS, EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY, and PULMONARY TOXICITY See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning Cardiomyopathy: Trastuzumab products can result in subclinical and clinical cardiac failure manifesting as CHF, and decreased LVEF, with greatest risk when administered concurrently with anthracyclines. Evaluate cardiac function prior to and during treatment. D
OGIVRI Target & Pathway
ProTarget
A receptor tyrosine kinase that promotes cell growth and division. Approximately 20% of breast cancers overexpress HER2, leading to aggressive tumor growth. Targeting HER2 blocks these growth signals and can trigger immune-mediated destruction of cancer cells.
Pathway Context
HER2 forms dimers with other HER family members to activate growth signaling
A receptor that triggers cell growth, proliferation, and survival when activated. Mutations or overexpression of EGFR drive many cancers, particularly lung cancer. Blocking EGFR stops the growth signals that fuel tumor progression.
OGIVRI is a lower-cost alternative to Herceptin with no clinically meaningful differences. Requires prescriber approval to substitute.
