GNR-051 is a monoclonal antibody, targeting the Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) membrane receptor on T lymphocytes and other cells of the immune system. The anti-PD-1 antibody, preventing the binding of the PD-1 receptor with the ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, reactivates the pool of tumor-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment and, thus, reactivates the antitumor immunity. GNR-051 is able to block the signaling molecule PD-1, which suppresses the antitumor immune response, for the treatment of cancer.
It is a Phase 1 Multicenter Open-Label Multi-Cohort Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Immunogenicity of GNR-051 in Subjects with Advanced Solid Malignancies.
