Overview

A combination of **venetoclax**, a selective, oral small-molecule inhibitor of the antiapoptotic protein BCL-2, and **trastuzumab emtansine** (T-DM1, Kadcyla), an antibody–drug conjugate comprising trastuzumab linked to the cytotoxic agent DM1. Venetoclax promotes cancer cell apoptosis by inhibiting BCL-2, disrupting survival signals in cancer cells, while trastuzumab emtansine targets HER2-overexpressing cells, delivering DM1 to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. This combination was investigated for previously treated HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, to potentially improve efficacy in this population[2][3][9].
