Interventions (6)
- Medication
Dato-DXd
Dato-DXd is an ADC comprised of a recombinant humanised anti-TROP2 IgG1 mAb, MAAP-9001a, which is covalently conjugated via a cleavable drug-linker, MAAA1162a (the complex of MAAA-1181a and a maleimide tetrapeptide linker), using thioether bonds to the topoisomerase I inhibitor DXd.
- Medication
Rilvegostomig
Rilvegostomig is a monovalent, bispecific, humanised, IgG1 mAb engineered with an Fc domain that carries a triple mutation (L234F/L235E/P331S) designed to reduce Fc-mediated effector functions. Rilvegostomig contains 2 distinct paratopes that bind to human TIGIT and PD-1 and inhibit binding to their respective immuno-suppressive ligands.
- Medication
Durvalumab
A fully human monoclonal antibody that blocks the PD-L1 checkpoint to restore anti-tumor T-cell activity. Durvalumab is approved for Muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) as perioperative regime.
- Medication
Nivolumab
A fully human monoclonal antibody against PD-1, promoting anti-tumor immunity. Approved across many malignancies such as melanoma, NSCLC, renal cell carcinoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and colorectal cancer (dMMR/MSI-H), often alone or with ipilimumab. It's used in several cancers, notably unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer after chemoradiation and extensive-stage small cell lung cancer in combination regimens, among others, and is also approved for patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC) at high risk of recurrence in the adjuvant setting.
- Medication
Pembrolizumab
A humanized monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1, enhancing T-cell-mediated immune responses against tumors. Indications span multiple cancers including melanoma, NSCLC, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, MSI-H/dMMR tumors, and more.
- Medication
Enfortumab vedotin
An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a fully human anti-Nectin-4 IgG1 monoclonal antibody, linked via a protease-cleavable maleimide-based linker to the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), which is conjugated through thioether bonds. Upon binding to Nectin-4-expressing cells, the ADC is internalized and releases MMAE, leading to disruption of microtubule dynamics and subsequent tumor cell death. Enfortumab vedotin is approved in urothelial cancers.
