Clinical Study of ALT-P7 to Determine Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics in Breast Cancer Patients

This open-label study assessed the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ALT-P7(HM2-Drug Conjugate) in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have progressed on previous Trastuzumab-based therapy. Patients received ALT-P7(0.3 mg/kg\~5.4 mg/kg, 7 groups) intravenously on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle.
