Upon administration, the anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody BAY2701438 targets and specifically binds to HER2 on tumor cells, thereby blocking HER2-mediated signaling. This may inhibit proliferation of HER2-expressing tumor cells. HER2 is overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell types and is associated with increased tumor cell proliferation.
