Immunopharmacology Ligand
Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Lorigerlimab (MGD019) is a tetravalent bispecific IgG4 antibody that simultaneously targets CTLA-4 and PD-1, developed by MacroGenics using DART® technology [1]. It was proposed to reverse the immunosuppressive and immune evasion activities of these two immune checkpoint proteins and thereby enhance the efficacy of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes in the tumour microenvironment.

Immunopharmacology Comments
The PD-1 and CTLA-4 immune checkpoint proteins are co-expressed by tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes and act to suppress activity of immune cells in the tumour microenvironment. Simultaneously blocking both antigens with one antibody is proposed to boost the anti-tumour immune response whilst minimising effects on healthy tissues.
