Mechanism of action

CT-P53 is a biosimilar or follow-on biologic targeting PD-L1, a checkpoint protein that tumors use to evade immune surveillance. By blocking PD-L1, the drug releases the brakes on T-cell mediated immunity, allowing the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. This mechanism is similar to other PD-L1 inhibitors and is used across multiple solid tumor types.
