Sintilimab is Innovent's PD-1 antibody, approved in China since 2018 for Hodgkin lymphoma and then, on the ORIENT trials, for first-line lung, liver, oesophageal and stomach cancer. In 2022 the FDA rejected its lung cancer application because a China-only trial against chemotherapy did not fit US practice, defining the agency's stance on single-country data.
Nivolumab was the second PD-1 blocker and is often combined with ipilimumab. Long-term data show about half of advanced melanoma patients alive at 10 years on the combination.
