To provide a method for treating patients having HER2-positive metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer in first-line therapy.SOLUTION: A method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-HER2 maytansinoid conjugate to a patient having breast cancer who has received prior treatment with a taxane.SELECTED DRAWING: None

The application discloses a nucleic acid aptamer of maytansine and application thereof, the nucleic acid aptamer is Seq2-X, and a DNA sequence of Seq2-X is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1. The nucleic acid aptamer can be combined with the target maytansine with high affinity and high specificity, the equilibrium dissociation constant is in the nanomolar range, the water solubility is good, and after being combined with the fat-soluble maytansine, the solubility of the drug can be improved. By utilizing the specific interaction between the nucleic acid aptamer and maytansine, the stability of maytansine drug can be improved, the cytotoxicity of maytansine is enhanced, and the treatment window is widened. By utilizing the nucleic acid aptamer as a drug delivery carrier of maytansine, the limitation of maytansine in clinical application can be improved, which has important significance for the design and development of maytansine drugs in clinical application.
