Kanjinti is the brand name for trastuzumab-ann subcutaneous injection and IV infusion.

Kanjinti is available as 150 mg and 420 mg used for injection.

Kanjinti is a monoclonal antibody that is used to treat:

• HER2-positive, breast cancers – IV and SQ injections
• HER2-positive, metastatic stomach cancer – IV injection only

Kanjinti is a monoclonal antibody that acts as a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) inhibitor. It blocks a specific protein in the body that’s important for cell growth called HER2. HER2 is found on both normal and cancer cells. Cancer cells usually have more HER2 proteins than normal cells. This can cause cancer cells to grow more quickly than normal cells. When HER2 is blocked by Kanjinti, cancer cells can’t grow and spread as well.

Kanjinti dose for IV infusion is based on weight and given over 30 to 90 minutes. The dose for a subcutaneous injection is not based on weight.

Kanjinti is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
