§ Trastuzumab and DM1 are covalently linked via a thioether linker § DM1 is a highly potent derivative of antimicrotubule agent maytansine § Ado-trastuzumab emtansine specifically targets HER2+ tumor cells by antibody- dependent cellular cytotoxicity and inhibiting HER2 signaling § A phase I study demonstrated that MTD was 3.6 mg/kg q3wk, and systemic DM1 exposure was low (5 ng/mL maximum plasma levels)
