Pembrolizumab was the first inhibitor for PD-1, which was approved as the second-line treatment for unresectable or metastatic melanoma, followed by Nivolumab (for unresectable metastatic melanoma, advanced metastatic NSCLC and advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma), Atezolizumab (for urothelial carcinoma following platinum-based chemotherapy), Avelumab (for metastatic Merkel-cell carcinoma, and Durvalumab for urothelial carcinoma following platinum-based chemotherapy) (Manson et al., 2016; Pitt et al., 2016). Here, PDCD1 is linked to metastatic melanoma.
