Nivolumab | Opdivo | MDX-1106|BMS-936558 | Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 149 PD-L1/PD-1 antibody 121 | Opdivo (nivolumab) is an antibody that targets PD-1 (PDCD1), which results in increased T-cell activation and enhanced anti-tumor immune response (PMID: 28891423). Opdivo (nivolumab) is FDA approved for use as a monotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progressed on prior therapies, Hodgkin's lymphoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma (UC) , esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, resected esophageal or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, as a monotherapy or in combination with Yervoy (ipilimumab) for melanoma, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) colorectal cancer (including patients 12 years or older), and hepatocellular carcinoma, in combination with Yervoy (ipilimumab) as first-line therapy for PD-L1-positive (>=1%) metastatic NSCLC without EGFR or ALK alterations, with Yervoy (ipilimumab) and platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line therapy for metastatic or recurrent NSCLC without EGFR or ALK alterations, with platinum doublet chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for patients with resectable NSCLC, with Cabometyx (cabozantinib) for advanced RCC, with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, GEJ cancer, and esophageal adenocarcinoma, and with cisplatin and gemcitabine as first-line treatment for unresectable or metastatic UC (FDA.gov). |
Paclitaxel | Taxol | 7-Epipaclitaxel | Antimicrotubule Agent 14 BCL2 Family Inhibitor 6 | Taxol (paclitaxel) binds to tubulin to inhibit microtubule disassembly, which results in decreased cell division, and also binds to the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, promoting apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Ramucirumab | Cyramza | LY3009806 | VEGFR2 Antibody 4 | Cyramza (ramucirumab) is a monoclonal antibody, which binds and inhibits VEGFR2 (KDR) resulting in decreased angiogenesis (PMID: 24094768). Cyramza (ramucirumab) is FDA approved for use as a monotherapy or in combination with paclitaxel in patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who progressed on chemotherapy, in combination with erlotinib as first-line therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR exon 19 deletion mutations or L858R, in combination with decetaxel in patients with NSCLC who progressed on prior therapy, in combination with FOLFIRI in patients with colorectal cancer who progressed on prior therapy, and as monotherapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have received sorafenib (FDA.gov). |
