Answer by Dr. Ru: About SGN 35 usage in lactation
Anticuerpo monoclonal conjugado con propiedades antineoplásicas. Indicado en linfoma de Hodgkin y linfoma anaplásico de células grandes refractarios o en recaída.Administración intravenosa, una dosis cada 3 semanas. A fecha de última actualización no encontramos datos publicados sobre su excreción en leche materna. Su elevadísimo peso molecular hace muy improbable su paso a leche en cantidad significativa. Por su naturaleza protéica es inactivado en tracto gastrointestinal, no absorbiéndose, por lo que su biodisponibilidad oral es prácticamente nula, salvo en prematuros y periodo neonatal inmediato en los que puede haber mayor permeabilidad intestinal.
Answer by DrLact: About SGN 35 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of brentuximab during breastfeeding. Because brentuximab is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 153,000, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Until more data become available, SGN 35 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during brentuximab therapy.
