Mechanism of action

Disitamab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting HER2 that binds to HER2-positive tumor cells and releases a microtubule-disrupting agent intracellularly. Tislelizumab is a humanized PD-1 inhibitor that relieves T-cell exhaustion and promotes anti-tumor immunity. The combination leverages both direct cytotoxic killing and immune checkpoint blockade for enhanced efficacy.
