Preferred Label : PD-L1 Inhibitor INCB099318;
NCIt definition : An orally available, small molecule inhibitor of the immunosuppressive ligand programmed
cell death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1; cluster of differentiation 274; CD274), with potential
immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. Upon oral administration,
PD-L1 inhibitor INCB099318 specifically targets and binds to PD-L1 expressed on tumor
cells, thereby preventing the binding and subsequent activation of its receptor, programmed
cell death 1 (PD-1; PDCD1; CD279; programmed death-1). This reverses T-cell inactivation
caused by PD-L1/PD-1 signaling, increases T-cell expansion and enhances the cytotoxic
T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated anti-tumor immune response against PD-L1-expressing tumor
cells. PD-L1, a transmembrane protein expressed on activated T-cells, is overexpressed
in some cancer types and plays a significant role in immune evasion by tumor cells.;
