Safety/Monitoring .
Monitoring Parameters
pregnancy test at baseline; Cr, LFTs, TFTs at baseline, then periodically; glucose; s/sx infusion rxn
Pregnancy/Lactation .
Pregnancy
Clinical Summary
weigh risk/benefit during pregnancy; no human data available; risk of embryo-fetal toxicity, incl. spontaneous abortion and stillbirth, based on animal data w/ other PD-1/PD-L1 pathway inhibitors and drug's mechanism of action
Individuals of Reproductive Potential
obtain pregnancy test before tx start; avoid pregnancy by using effective contraception during tx and x4mo after D/C in pts of childbearing potential
Lactation
Clinical Summary
avoid breastfeeding during tx and x4mo after D/C; no human data available to assess risk of infant harm or effects on milk production

Excretion: other; Half-life: 23.5 days
Subclass: Immunotherapy, Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors ; Immunotherapy, PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors
Mechanism of Action
binds to PD-1 receptor on T-cells, blocking PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of anti-tumor immune response, resulting in decreased tumor growth (monoclonal antibody)
