HER2 plays an important role in cell growth and survival, but many cancers can overexpress this protein, leading to uncontrolled cell growth. Learn more about how Jazz is furthering the science around targeting HER2-protein expression across multiple solid tumor types.
When Ed’s back pain did not subside after visits to the chiropractor and a massage therapist, his concerns grew. When new symptoms arose, Ed visited the doctor and learned he had cancer near his spine. Ed was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which can be aggressive.

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs) are a group of rare and severe epilepsies which are characterized by seizures and significant developmental delays. Most DEEs begin in early life, often in infancy, with children experiencing frequent and severe seizures, which can be of multiple types. This generates a complex clinical picture in which both developmental abnormalities and severe epilepsy contribute to the functional impairment of these children which continues into adulthood.
