Trastuzumab emtansine (Kadcyla)
Also known as TDM1.
General information
Class: Antibody (Trastuzumab (Herceptin)) with linker to chemotherapeutic agent (emtansine). Humanized monoclonal antibody binds to subdomain IV of HER2, facilitating targeted delivery of a maytansine derivative that binds to tubulin at the rhizoxin binding site and inhibits the assembly of microtubules.[1][2][3]
Route: IV
Extravasation: no information
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.
Clinical trials
- EMILIA: A phase III, randomized, multicenter study of trastuzumab-DM1 (T-DM1) compared with lapatinib (L) plus capecitabine (X) in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and previously treated with a trastuzumab-based regimen.[4][5]
- MARIANNE: A phase III, randomized study of trastuzumab-DM1 (T-DM1) with or without pertuzumab (P) compared with trastuzumab (H) plus taxane for first-line treatment of HER2-positive, progressive, or recurrent locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC).[6][7]
