Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed cell death 1 protein (PD-1, PCDC-1), with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, cetrelimab binds to PD-1, and inhibits the interaction with its ligands, programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1, PD-1L1) and PD-1 ligand 2 (PD-L2, PD-1L2). The inhibition of ligand binding prevents PD-1-mediated signaling and results in both T-cell activation and the induction of T-cell-mediated immune responses against tumor cells. PD-1, an immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily transmembrane protein and inhibitory receptor, negatively regulates T-cell activation.

Cetrelimab has been investigated in 9 clinical trials, of which 9 are open and 0 are closed. Of the trials investigating cetrelimab, 1 is phase 1 (1 open), 3 are phase 1/phase 2 (3 open), 4 are phase 2 (4 open), and 1 is phase 3 (1 open).

Deficient DNA Mismatch Repair (dMMR), MLH1 Deficient Expression, and MSH2 Deficient Expression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for cetrelimab clinical trials.

Prostate adenocarcinoma, bladder carcinoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma in situ are the most common diseases being investigated in cetrelimab clinical trials [2].
