Active ingredients

The drug KADCYLA contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1
UNII SE2KH7T06F - 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). Conjugation of DM1 to trastuzumab confers selectivity of the cytotoxic agent for HER2-overexpressing tumour cells, thereby increasing intracellular delivery of DM1 directly to malignant cells.
