Trastuzumab vedotin
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Trastuzumab vedotin (MRG002; Trastuzumab MMAE) is an antibody-drug conjugate and cytotoxin targeting HER2, with a Kd of 7.50E-11 M for human HER2. After binding to HER2, Trastuzumab vedotin undergoes internalization and lysosomal trafficking, delivering a cytotoxic payload to HER2-expressing cells and inducing tumor regression in in vivo xenograft models with HER2-expressing tumors. The anti-tumor activity of Trastuzumab vedotin is enhanced when used in combination with anti-PD-1 antibodies, and it exhibits preclinical anti-tumor activity in drug-resistant breast cancer, gastric cancer, and urothelial carcinoma PDX models. Trastuzumab vedotin has low antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity activity and can be used in studies related to HER2-positive breast cancer, HER2-positive gastric cancer, and unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive urothelial carcinoma.

Biological Activity
Trastuzumab vedotin (0.0128-1000 ng/mL; 60 min; RT) selectively binds to HER2 proteins of humans and monkeys, while no binding to HER2 proteins of rats or mice is observed[1].
Trastuzumab vedotin (4 μg/mL; 30 min, 37 °C) is efficiently internalized by human breast cancer SKBR3 cells at 37 °C, with an internalization rate comparable to that of its unconjugated antibody component MAB802[1].
Trastuzumab vedotin (4 μg; 4 h) exhibits no significant CDC activity against SKBR3 human breast cancer cells[1].

Cell Line:SKBR3 (high HER2), BT-474 (high HER2), MDA-MB-453 (medium HER2) human breast cancer cell lines; NCI-N87 (high HER2) human gastric cancer cell line
-
Concentration:0.02 ng/mL-200 μg/mL
-
Incubation Time:96 ± 2 h
-
Result:Displayed potent sub-nanomolar cytotoxicity across all tested cell lines, with IC50 values of 0.012 nM (SKBR3), 0.035 nM (BT-474), 0.398 nM (MDA-MB-453), and 0.151 nM (NCI-N87). Its cytotoxicity was stronger than that of Kadcyla® in all high HER2-expressing cell lines tested.
Trastuzumab vedotin (MRG002) (1-10 mg/kg; i.v.; dosing schedule matching qw ×3 or equivalent) exhibits potent antitumor activity in trastuzumab-resistant HER2-expressing breast cancer PDX models[1].
