Tislelizumab, sold under the brand name Tevimbra among others, is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against programmed death receptor-1.[1] It is being developed by BeiGene.[4]

Tislelizumab was approved for medical use in China in December 2019,[5] in the European Union in September 2023,[2] and in the United States in March 2024.[6]

Medical uses[edit]

In China, tislelizumab is indicated to treat people with classical Hodgkin lymphoma who have received at least two prior therapies;[5] and to treat people with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma with PD-L1 high expression whose disease progressed during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy or within twelve months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy.[7]

In the EU, tislelizumab is indicated for the treatment of adults with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after prior platinum-based chemotherapy.[2]

In the US, tislelizumab is indicated for the treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after prior systemic chemotherapy that did not include a PD-(L)1 inhibitor.[1]

Adverse effects[edit]

Adverse effects include anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, increased aspartate transaminase (AST), neutropenia, fatigue, decreased appetite, vomiting, musculoskeletal pain, constipation, hypoproteinemia and rash.[8] Fatal events such as respiratory infection or failure, and hepatic injury have been reported.[9]

Adverse events are more common when combined with chemotherapy.[10]

Pharmacokinetics[edit]

Phase I clinical trial from 2016 has results suggesting an elimination half-life of 11 to 17 days.[11] A 2021 structural and functional analysis suggests a t1/2 of 238 ± 32 minutes, 30- to 80-times higher than pembrolizumab and nivolumab.[12]

History[edit]

Phase I trials began in the US and Australia in June 2015.[13] Some early results were announced in July 2016.[14][11]

A phase II clinical trial for urothelial cancer started in China in 2017.[15]

Tislelizumab "demonstrated efficacy and tolerability" in a multicenter phase III trial for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma started in January 2018.[4][16]
