Pharmacology
Pembrolizumab is a PD-1 blocking antibody that releases PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response by preventing the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, thereby restoring anti-tumor immune response.
Amivantamab-vmjw is a bispecific antibody that binds EGFR and MET extracellular domains, disrupting ligand binding and receptor degradation, and targeting tumor cells for immune-mediated destruction via ADCC and trogocytosis.
