Pharmacology
Nivolumab is a PD-1 blocking antibody that binds to the PD-1 receptor 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.
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.
