---|---|---|---|---|
Carboplatin | Paraplatin | CBDCA | Chemotherapy - Platinum 7 | Paraplatin (carboplatin) is a second-generation platinum compound and is activated intracellularly to form reactive platinum complexes that cross link DNA with DNA and with proteins. This induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Paclitaxel | Taxol | 7-Epipaclitaxel | Antimicrotubule Agent 14 BCL2 Family Inhibitor 6 | Taxol (paclitaxel) binds to tubulin to inhibit microtubule disassembly, which results in decreased cell division, and also binds to the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, promoting apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Retifanlimab | Zynyz | MGA 012|INCMGA00012|MGA012|retifanlimab-dlwr | Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 146 PD-L1/PD-1 antibody 112 | Zynyz (retifanlimab) is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that targets PD-1 (PDCD1) and inhibits binding of the PD-L1 (CD274) ligand, potentially resulting in enhanced anti-tumor immune response (AACR; Cancer Res 2019;79(13 Suppl):Abstract nr CT085). Zynyz (retifanlimab) is FDA approved for use in adult patients with metastatic or recurrent locally advanced Merkel cell carcinoma (FDA.gov). |
