Enhertu: Know about Medication

 Enhertu is a HER2-directed antibody and topoisomerase inhibitor conjugate used for the treatment of: 

adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have previously received two or more anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. 

adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have previously received a trastuzumab-based regimen.

Recommended Dosage: The recommended dosage of  Enhertu 100 mg Injection for Metastatic Breast Cancer and Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer is 5.4 mg/kg and 6.4 mg/kg respectively, administered as an intravenous infusion once every three weeks (21-day cycle) until the disease is progressive or unacceptable toxicity occurs. 

In case a planned dose is missed or delayed, administer as promptly as possible; avoid waiting until the next planned cycle. Adjust the schedule of administration in order to maintain a 3 week interval between doses. The infusion is administered at the dose and rate the patient tolerated in the most recent infusion.

Serious, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD), including pneumonitis, may occur in patients treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan injection. Monitor patients for signs/symptoms of ILD. Promptly assess evidence of ILD. Evaluate patients with suspected interstitial lung disease by radiographic imaging. 

Serious neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia, may occur in patients treated with Trastuzumab Deruxtecan. Monitor complete blood counts before initiating treatment and before each dose. On behalf of the severity of neutropenia, this medicine may require dose interruption or reduction. 

Patients treated with enhertu injection may be at higher risk of having left ventricular dysfunction. LVEF needs to be assessed before initiating treatment and at regular intervals throughout the treatment. LVEF decrease needs to be managed through therapy interruption. 

Depending on its mechanism of action, enhertu can cause fetal harm if used by a pregnant woman. Pregnancy status needs to be verified prior to the initiation of treatment with this drug. Women should not breastfeed while on treatment and for 7 months after the final dose of Enhertu.
