anti-PD-1

Anti-PD-1 therapy is an pd 1-axis immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy that blocks the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint to restore antitumor immunity, and it is highlighted here as a triple-combination component. It is used across multiple cancer settings, including immune-checkpoint-refractory lung cancer, microsatellite-stable gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, dMMR colorectal cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. Recent studies show improved efficacy when combined with fecal microbiota transplantation, BGJ398, artemisinin, AAV-ImmunAct, fpPRPS, or Mettl8 inhibition, and one phase I study reported feasibility and safety for refractory microsatellite-stable gastric cancer. Mechanistically, resistance or response has been linked to KSR2-driven metabolic reprogramming, ZNF737-CXCL10-mediated immune exclusion, DDR1-associated immune evasion, and biomarker signatures from an integrated multi-omics platform. The literature also reports enhanced CD8+ T-cell responses, including synergy with fpPRPS, and improved tumor control in preclinical models. Overall, anti-PD-1 remains a central checkpoint blockade strategy with growing evidence for rational combinations and resistance biomarkers.
