Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed cell death 1 (PD-1, PCD-1; PDCD1), with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody ABBV-181 targets and binds to PD-1, thereby blocking its binding to the PD-1 ligand, programmed cell death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1), and preventing the activation of PD-1/PD-L1 downstream signaling pathways. This may restore immune function through the activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). PD-1, a transmembrane protein in the immunoglobulin superfamily expressed on activated T-cells, negatively regulates T-cell activation and effector function when activated by its ligand; it plays an important role in tumor evasion from host immunity.

Budigalimab has been investigated in 12 clinical trials, of which 11 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating budigalimab, 11 are phase 1 (10 open) and 1 is phase 2 (1 open).

ER Negative, ER No Expression, and HER2 Deficient Expression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for budigalimab clinical trials.

Malignant solid tumor, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and non-small cell lung carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in budigalimab clinical trials [2].
