Mechanism of action

By inhibiting the PD-L1/PD-1 axis, adebrelimab removes the inhibitory signal that tumors use to evade immune surveillance, allowing T cells and other immune effectors to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. This mechanism is similar to other PD-L1 inhibitors and represents a form of immune checkpoint inhibition used in cancer immunotherapy.
