Tislelizumab

Tislelizumab[3][4] (BGB-A317) 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 being investigated as a treatment for advanced solid tumors.[5]

Medical Uses

China

Tislelizumab was approved by the China National Medical Products Administration :

  • on December 27, 2019 to treat patients with classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) who have received at least two prior therapies[8]
  • and on April 10, 2020 to treat patients 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]

Clinical trials

Phase I trials began in the US and Australia in June 2015 and were expected to complete in mid-2017.[10] Some early results were announced in July 2016.[11][5]

A pivotal phase 2 clinical trial for urothelial cancer started in China in 2017.[6]

It is in a phase 3 trial for NSCLC.[12]

A multicenter phase 3 trial for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma started in Jan 2018.[7]

Pharmacokinetics

Early phase I clinical trial results give an elimination half-life of 11 to 17 days.[5]
