Trastuzumab 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).
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.

| 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. |
