Mechanism of action

HLX22 targets programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) on tumor cells and immune cells, preventing the suppression of T-cell mediated anti-tumor immunity. By blocking the PD-L1/PD-1 axis, the drug allows the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. This mechanism is characteristic of checkpoint inhibitors used across multiple cancer types.
