Overview

Generic Name(s):
spartalizumab
NCI Definition [1]:
A humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1, PCD-1), with immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, spartalizumab binds to PD-1 expressed on activated T-cells and blocks 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.

Spartalizumab has been investigated in 47 clinical trials, of which 34 are open and 13 are closed. Of the trials investigating spartalizumab, 2 are early phase 1 (2 open), 23 are phase 1 (16 open), 10 are phase 1/phase 2 (6 open), 11 are phase 2 (9 open), and 1 is phase 3 (1 open).

HER2 Deficient Expression, HER2 Negative, and ER Negative are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for spartalizumab clinical trials.

Breast carcinoma, malignant solid tumor, and non-small cell lung carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in spartalizumab clinical trials [2].
