Immunopharmacology Comments
Cadonilimab blocks the inhibitory actions of the immune checkpoint proteins PD-1 and CTLA-4. In the tumor micronvironment this agent promotes interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) secretion, and accumulation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. This action results in immune cell-mediated mediate killing of tumor cells.
