General functionAvelumab is used to treat adults with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a rare type of skin cancer when it is metastatic (has spread to other parts of the body).
PD-L1 is found on the surface of MCC cells and helps protect tumour cells from the immune system (the body’s natural defences). Avelumab binds to PD-L1, and blocks this protective effect, allowing the immune system to attack the tumour cells. (Source EMA , package leaflet)
Short description
Pharmacodynamic properties
(Mechanism of action; Source EMA document)
Avelumab is a human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). Avelumab binds PD-L1 and blocks the interaction between PD-L1 and the programmed death 1 (PD-1) and B7.1 receptors. This removes the suppressive effects of PD-L1 on cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells, resulting in the restoration of anti-tumour T-cell responses.
Pharmacodynamic properties (Pharmacodynamic effects; Source EMA document)Avelumab has also shown to induce natural killer (NK) cell-mediated direct tumour cell lysis via antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).
