Abstract

Cemiplimab (LIBTAYO®; cemiplimab-rwlc), a human programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody that binds to PD-1 and blocks its interaction with programmed death ligands 1 (PD-L1) and 2 (PD-L2), is being developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi Genzyme. The drug is being investigated as a treatment for various cancers and in September 2018 received approval in the USA for the treatment of patients with metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of cemiplimab leading to this first global approval for the treatment of advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
