Monkey HNSTD 10 mg/kg (2040 µg DM1/m2) approximately equivalent to the clinical dose
“Administration of trastuzumab emtansine was well tolerated in rats and monkeys at doses up to 20 and 10 mg/kg, respectively, corresponding to 2040 µg DM1/m2 in both species, which is approximately equivalent to the clinical dose of trastuzumab emtansine in patients.”
“Based on overall tolerability and reversibility of findings, the Applicant considered 10 mg/kg of trastuzumab emtansine given as four injections to Cynomolgus monkeys every 3 weeks to be the highest non-severely toxic dose.”
