The present invention relates to a novel HER2 antibody for concomitant administration which is used for preventing or treating cancer. The antibody of the present invention specifically binds to HER2, which is overexpressed in cancer cells (particularly, breast cancer and gastric cancer cells), and binds to an epitope different from that to which trastuzumab binds. The antibody of the present invention has a unique sequence due to a very low homology compared with the CDR sequence of known HER2-targeting antibodies. The antibody of the present invention kills cancer cells with remarkably improved cancer cell killing ability when concomitantly administered with trastuzumab, and is thus very useful for preventing or treating cancer (particularly, breast cancer and gastric cancer). The remarkable efficacy of concomitant administration of the antibody of the present invention is considered, without wishing to be bound by theory, to be due to the antibody of the present invention binding to an epitope of HER2 different from that to which trastuzumab binds, thereby inhibiting HER2 cooperatively with trastuzumab.

The present invention relates to HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) antibodies to prevent or treat cancers. The antibodies of the invention binds specifically to HER2 over-expressed in cancer cells (particularly, breast cancer and stomach cancer cells), specifically to an epitope on HER2 being different from epitope for trastuzumab. The CDR sequences of the present antibodies exhibit low similarity to CDR sequences of publicly known HER2 antibodies, addressing that the CDR sequences are unique. The antibodies of the present invention in combination with trastuzumab kill cancer cells with significantly enhanced cytotoxicity and therefore very effective in therapy of cancer (particularly, breast cancer and stomach cancer). Without wishing to be bound by theory, the enhanced efficacies of the
combined therapy would address that the antibodies of the present invention bind to epitope on HER2 being different from epitope for trastuzumab, and inhibit HER2 in a cooperative manner with trastuzumab.
