Tislelizumab, sold under the brand name Tevimbra among others, is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against PD-1.[5] It prevents PD-1 from binding to the ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 (hence it is a checkpoint inhibitor). It is designed to bind less to Fc gamma receptors.[6] It is being developed by BeiGene (after a period with Celgene Corp).[7]
Medical uses
China
Tislelizumab was approved by China's National Medical Products Administration :
- in December 2019, to treat people with classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) who have received at least two prior therapies[8]
- and in April 2020, to treat people with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) with PD-L1 high expression whose disease progressed during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy or within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy.[9]
History
Phase I trials began in the US and Australia in June 2015.[10] Some early results were announced in July 2016.[11][5]
A phase II clinical trial for urothelial cancer started in China in 2017.[6]
It is in a phase III trial for NSCLC.[12]
A multicenter phase III trial for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma started in January 2018.[7]
Pharmacokinetics
Phase I clinical trial results give an elimination half-life of 11 to 17 days.[5]
