KANJINTI Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is KANJINTI?
KANJINTI is the brand name for trastuzumab-ann subcutaneous injection and IV infusion.
What dosages is KANJINTI available in?

What is KANJINTI used for?
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
How does KANJINTI work?
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.
How do I take KANJINTI?
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.
