Mechanism of action
AK102 functions as a bispecific monoclonal antibody designed to bind both PD-1 and CTLA-4, two key immune checkpoint molecules. By engaging both pathways simultaneously, it aims to provide superior T-cell activation and anti-tumor immunity compared to single-checkpoint inhibitors. This dual mechanism is intended to overcome resistance to monotherapy and improve clinical outcomes in solid tumors.
