Find Clinical Drug Pipeline Developments & Deals for Trastuzumab Emtansine
Kadcyla (trastuzumab emtansine) is a HER2 modulator, antibody-drug conjugate. It is being evaluated in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer.
TUKYSA (tucatinib) is an oral medicine that is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the HER2 protein and in combination with ado-trastuzumab emtansine is being developed in patients with HER2-positive metastatic or unresectable breast cancer.
Patients already treated with Trastuzumab may still have the disease and would require this therapy as the next step. The high cost of therapy is a barrier to availing this therapy and Ujvira bridges this need.
Approval is based on the study which evaluated the efficacy and safety of Kadcyla adjuvant therapy in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer who did not have pathologic complete response following neoadjuvant therapy including Herceptin.
