Pembrolizumab vs. nivolumab: How do they compare? Pembrolizumab and nivolumab are both prescription medications used to treat various types of cancers, including solid tumors and blood cancers. They may be used alone or in combination with other medicines for cancers that are more advanced, have sp...
Like nivolumab, it is also a monoclonal antibody against the PD-1 receptor on T-cells. The present chapter on pembrolizumab can be considered as an extension of previous chapter on nivolumab as the target of both the drugs is the same receptor and therefore both share the mechanism of action...

The shared mechanism took the form of cell-to-cell signaling pathways that prevent T cells from killing cancer cells. FDA’s drug class definition took the form of the combination of nivolumab with, “other FDA-approved immune-modulating agents, ipilimumab and pembrolizumab.”122 View chapter...
This approach raises the possibility for hPD-1 immunoPET to predict responders to anti-hPD-1 therapy, e.g. immune checkpoint blockade with pembrolizumab or nivolumab. Furthermore, once an appropriately selected patient is started on a hPD-1 blocker, immunoPET could also be used as a non...
A number of immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1; eg, pembrolizumab, nivolumab) or programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1; eg, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab) are approved for the treatment of patients with platinum-refractory advanced UC [2, 9]. Recently...
Several adjuvant therapies have been approved and are now considered standard of care for patients with resected stage IIB–IV melanoma, including the checkpoint inhibitors ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and nivolumab, and the BRAF V600-targeted drugs dabrafenib and trametinib. All have been found to prolon...
