What dosages is KADCYLA available in?
KADCYLA is available as a single-dose vial containing 100 mg per vial or 160 mg per vial.
What is KADCYLA used for?
KADCYLA is used to treat HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread) in patients who have previously received other medicines (eg, trastuzumab, taxane medicine) that did not work well or whose cancer has returned during or within 6 months of completing treatment.
