Ado-trastuzumab emtansine | Kadcyla | T-DM1|trastuzumab emtansine | HER2 (ERBB2) Antibody 76 HER2 (ERBB2) Antibody-Drug Conjugate 31 | Kadcyla (ado-trastuzumab emtansine) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprising the ERBB2 (HER2) monoclonal antibody trastuzumab and an anti-tubulin agent, DM1, which results in tumor cell cytotoxicity (PMID: 24887180). Kadcyla (ado-trastuzumab emtansine) is FDA approved for metastatic ERBB2 (HER2)-positive (overexpression or gene amplification) breast cancer patients who have previously received trastuzumab and/or taxane, and for the adjuvant treatment of patients with ERBB2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer who have residual invasive disease after taxane and trastuzumab-based treatment (FDA.gov). |
Paclitaxel | Taxol | 7-Epipaclitaxel | Antimicrotubule Agent 14 BCL2 Family Inhibitor 6 | Taxol (paclitaxel) binds to tubulin to inhibit microtubule disassembly, which results in decreased cell division, and also binds to the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, promoting apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
