Drug Descriptions |
Libtayo (cemiplimab) is a human antibody that targets PD-1 (PDCD1) and prevents interaction with PD-L1 (CD274) and PD-L2 (PDCD1LG2), potentially resulting in increased anti-tumor immune response and decreased tumor growth (PMID: 28265006). Libtayo (cemiplimab) is FDA approved for use in patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, who are not not eligible for curative surgery or radiation, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma who have received or are not eligible for a hedgehog pathway inhibitor, as first-line treatment in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high PD-L1 expression (TPS>=50%) and no EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 aberrations, and in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with NSCLC without EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 alterations (FDA.gov). |
