Global Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Market: Key Developments
In April 06 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved a combination of two immunotherapy drugs for the treatment of some people with advanced melanoma. The combination consists of relatlimab and nivolumab (Opdivo) and will be marketed under the name Opdualag. Both drugs are immune checkpoint inhibitors, which target proteins called checkpoints that help stop the immune system from mounting a strong response against cancer cells. Relatlimab blocks a protein on immune cells called LAG-3, while nivolumab blocks a different protein on immune cells called PD-1. By blocking these proteins, these drugs can unleash an immune response against cancer cells. Relatlimab is the first FDA-approved drug to block the activity of LAG-3.
