Kadcyla® / Tratuzumab Emtansine

Drug nameKadcyla®
INNTrastuzumab emtansine
API typeTrastuzumab emtansine is an antibody-drug conjugate that contains trastuzumab, a humanised IgG1 monoclonal antibody produced by mammalian (Chinese hamster ovary) cell suspension culture, covalently linked to DM1, a microtubule inhibitor, via the stable thioether linker MCC (4-[N-maleimidomethyl] cyclohexane-1-carboxylate)
Pharmacotherapeutic groupAntineoplastic agents, other antineoplastic agents, monoclonal
ATC codeL01XC14
Target of antibodyHER2
General functionTrastuzumab emtansine, as a single agent, is indicated for the adjuvant treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer who have residual invasive disease, in the breast and/or lymph nodes, after neoadjuvant taxane-based and HER2-targeted therapy. Is also indicated for the treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who previously received trastuzumab and a
taxane, separately or in combination.
Short description
Pharmacodynamic properties
(Mechanism of action; Source EMA document)
Trastuzumab emtansine, trastuzumab emtansine, is a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate which contains the humanised anti-HER2 IgG1, trastuzumab, covalently linked to the microtubule inhibitor DM1 (a maytansine derivative) via the stable thioether linker MCC (4-[N-maleimidomethyl] cyclohexane-1-carboxylate). Emtansine refers to the MCC-DM1 complex. An average of 3.5 DM1 molecules are conjugated to each molecule of trastuzumab.
Pharmacodynamic properties (Pharmacodynamic effects; Source EMA document)The population pharmacokinetic analysis suggested no difference in trastuzumab emtansine exposure based on disease status (adjuvant vs. metastatic setting)
