WHAT IS KADCYLA INJECTION?

Kadcyla (ado-trastuzumab emtansine) is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

Kadcyla is approved to treat HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic breast cancer) after prior treatment with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and a taxane.

USES OF KADCYLA INJECTION:

Kadcyla is used to treat a certain type of breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Kadcyla is usually given after other cancer medications have been tried without success.

Kadcyla (ado-trastuzumab) should not be used in place of Herceptin (trastuzumab).
