Key Takeaways from the PD-1+ NSCLC Pipeline Report

  • On March 20, 2026- Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC announced a phase 3 study is to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan combined with pembrolizumab to pembrolizumab alone with respect to overall survival (OS). The primary hypothesis is that the combination of sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab is superior to pembrolizumab alone with respect to OS.
  • On March 18, 2026- BeiGene initiated a phase 3 study is to evaluate and compare major pathological response(MPR) rate and event-free survival (EFS) in participants receiving tislelizumab plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as the new additional treatment followed by tislelizumab as adjuvant treatment versus participants receiving placebo plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment followed by placebo as adjuvant treatment.
  • On March 18, 2026- Immutep S.A.S. initiated a phase 3 study is to compare eftilagimod alfa (efti) in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy versus placebo in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy with respect to overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) among adults with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • On March 18, 2026- Pfizer conducted a Phase 1b/2 protocol to evaluate pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of PF-06801591, a programmed death-1(PD-1) antagonist monoclonal antibody (mAb) in participants with advanced malignancies.
  • On March 18, 2026- NovoCure GmbH initiated a phase III trial aimed to test the efficacy and safety of TTFields, using the NovoTTF-200T device, concurrent with standard therapies for stage 4 NSCLC patients, following progression while on or after platinum based treatment. The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.
  • DelveInsight’s PD-1+ NSCLC Pipeline report depicts a robust space with 25+ active players working to develop 30+ pipeline therapies for PD-1+ NSCLC treatment.
  • The leading PD-1+ NSCLC Companies such as Arcus Biosciences, Akeso Biopharma, Biotheus, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Shandong Boan Biotechnology, Genor Biopharma and others.
  • Promising PD-1+ NSCLC Pipeline Therapies such as AZD2936, Cisplatin, Carboplatin, PF-06801591, AK112, Chidamide, Envafolimab and others.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Overview

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide with the poor prognosis. Encouragingly, immune checkpoint blockade targeting programmed death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) has dramatically changed the landscape for treatments in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Blockade of programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor and its ligand PD-L1 has achieved robust responses and improved survival for patients with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC in preclinical and clinical studies. InPD-1 is a Type I transmembrane protein and is expressed on T-cells, B-cells, nature killer cells, activated monocytes, and dendritic cells (DCs). PD-L1 and PD-L2, two ligands of PD-1, are also Type I transmembrane proteins and differ in their expression patterns. PD-L1 can be expressed on T-cells, B-cells, DCs, macrophages, a wide variety of nonhematopoietic cells, and also on TCs.11–13 PD-1 and its ligands consist of a signal sequence.

PD-1+ NSCLC Emerging Drugs Profile

  • Zimberelimab: Arcus Biosciences

Zimberelimab is an anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody being developed by Gloria Biosciences, Arcus Biosciences and Taiho Pharmaceutical Co. for the treatment of various cancers including cervical cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. Based on the results of a phase II trial, zimberelimab was recently approved for marketing in China as treatment for relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. Zimberelimab was in-licensed by Arcus to enable the development of precision combination regimens with full line-of-sight to the commercialization of innovative therapies for all patients who may benefit. The most advanced study with zimberelimab is in Phase III development for the treatment of first-line metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, evaluating zimberelimab in combination with domvanalimab, an anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody, and etrumadenant, the first and only dual A2a/A2b adenosine receptor antagonist in the clinic.

  • PM8002: Biotheus

PM8002 is a bispecific antibody candidate with humanized anti-PD-L1 single heavy-chain variable (VHH) domains fused to an anti-VEGF-A IgG1 antibody containing Fc-silencing mutations. PM8002 had demonstrated a positive safety profile and encouraging antitumor activity presumably through reduced systemic toxicity by enriching anti-VEGF activity into the tumor microenvironment at ASCO Annual Meeting and ESMO Congress 2023. Currently, the drug is in Phase II/III stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of NSCLC.

  • RPH075: R-Pharm

R-Pharm's pembrolizumab biosimilar, known as RPH 075, is a monoclonal antibody classified under antineoplastics, antivirals, and immunotherapies, specifically tumor-agnostic therapies. This biosimilar mimics the action of the originator drug, pembrolizumab, by targeting and antagonizing the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor on T lymphocytes. By blocking the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, RPH 075 enhances T-cell mediated immune responses against cancer cells, promoting antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity and providing a potent means to counteract tumors. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of NSCLC.
