General function
Short descriptionTrastuzumab Deruxtecan is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that contains a humanised anti-HER2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) with the same amino acid sequence as trastuzumab, produced by mammalian (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells, covalently linked to DXd, an exatecan derivative and a topoisomerase I inhibitor, via a tetrapeptide-based cleavable linker. Approximately 8 molecules of deruxtecan are attached to each antibody molecule.
Pharmacodynamic properties
(Mechanism of action; Source EMA document)
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan, is a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate. The antibody is a humanised anti-HER2 IgG1 attached to Deruxtecan, a topoisomerase I inhibitor (DXd) bound by a tetrapeptide-based cleavable linker. The antibody-drug conjugate is stable in plasma. The function of the antibody portion is to bind to HER2 expressed on the surface of certain tumour cells. After binding, the trastuzumab deruxtecan complex then undergoes internalisation and intracellular linker cleavage by lysosomal enzymes that are upregulated in cancer cells. Upon release, the membrane-permeable DXd causes DNA damage and apoptotic cell death. DXd, an exatecan derivative, is approximately 10 times more potent than SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan.
Pharmacodynamic properties (Pharmacodynamic effects; Source EMA document)Trastuzumab Deruxtecan undergoes intracellular cleavage by lysosomal enzymes to release the DXd. The humanised HER2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino-acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG.
In vitro metabolism studies in the human liver, microsomes indicate that DXd is metabolised mainly by CYP3A4 via oxidative pathways.
