Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of datopotamab deruxtecan during breastfeeding. Because datopotamab is a large protein molecule, the amount in milk is likely to be very low.[1] It is also likely to be partially destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract and absorption by the infant is probably minimal.[2] However, datopotamab is conjugated with the small-molecule topoisomerase I inhibitor, deruxtecan, which might be excreted into milk and absorbed by the infant. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during therapy and for 1 month after the last dose.
