PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors Understanding

PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors: Overview

PD-1 and PD-L1/PD-L2 belong to the family of immune checkpoint proteins that act as co-inhibitory factors that can limit the development of the T cell response. The PD-1 (programmed cell death-1) receptor is expressed on the surface of activated T cells. Its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, are expressed on the surface of dendritic cells or macrophages. The PD-1/PD-L1 interaction ensures that the immune system is activated only at the appropriate time in order to minimize the possibility of chronic autoimmune inflammation. The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway represents an adaptive immune resistance mechanism exerted by tumor cells in response to endogenous immune anti-tumor activity. PD-L1 is overexpressed on tumor cells or on non-transformed cells in the tumor microenvironment. PD-L1 expressed on the tumor cells binds to PD-1 receptors on the activated T cells, which leads to the inhibition of the cytotoxic T cells. Monoclonal antibodies specific to the PD-1 and PD-L1 immune checkpoints have been approved for the treatment of various tumors. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may be combined with other immunotherapies or traditional treatments to enhance efficacy relative to that using PD-1/PD-L1 therapy alone.

PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors Emerging Drugs

• Tislelizumab: BeiGene

Tislelizumab (BGB-A317) is a humanized IgG4 anti–PD-1 monoclonal antibody specifically designed to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages. Tislelizumab is being developed as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies for the treatment of a broad array of both solid tumor and hematologic cancers. Tislelizumab was designed to bind to PD‑1, a cell surface receptor that plays an important role in allowing tumor cells to evade the immune system. Tislelizumab was first approved in China in late 2019 as a third-line treatment for classical Hodgkin lymphoma. In January 2021, Novartis signed a collaboration agreement to in-license tislelizumab from BeiGene in major markets outside of China.

• Dostarlimab: GlaxoSmithKline

Dostarlimab is a humanized PD-1 monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to the PD-1 receptor and blocks its interaction with the ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2. Dostarlimab is being investigated in recurrent or primary advanced endometrial cancer in combination with standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy and for stage III or IV non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer. It is also being evaluated in combination with other therapeutic agents for patients with advanced solid tumors or metastatic cancer. Dostarlimab was discovered by AnaptysBio and licensed to TESARO under a Collaboration and Exclusive License Agreement signed in March 2014.
