Dostarlimab is a large protein molecule, a revolutionary anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death 1) immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody, humanised, derived from a mouse mAb using the AnaptysBio SHM-XEL system.
Results from clinical studies have demonstrated long-lasting and significant antitumour activity with a good level of safety (1). It is currently undergoing advanced evaluation in the GARNET study (2).
A further prospective phase 2 study published in June 2022 confirmed the efficacy of Dostarlimab on rectal cancer although the conclusions cautiously recommended longer follow-up to assess the duration of response (3).
The antitumour activity of Dostarlimab is also confirmed in several tumour types such as endometrial cancer and lung carcinoma, which has earned its approval in the United States as an effective monotherapy in cases of solid tumours that have progressed or have not had satisfactory treatment alternatives.
