Pharmacology
Ramucirumab is a VEGFR2 antagonist that specifically binds VEGFR2 and blocks binding of VEGFR ligands VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D, inhibiting ligand-stimulated activation of VEGFR2 and thereby inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis.
Cemiplimab-rwlc is a recombinant human IgG4 monoclonal antibody (PD-1 inhibitor) that binds to PD-1 and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response.
