Camrelizumab is Jiangsu Hengrui's humanised PD-1 antibody, approved in China for oesophageal, liver and lung cancer but not in the US, where its liver cancer combination with rivoceranib drew complete response letters in 2024 and 2025 over manufacturing and inspection issues. Its signature side effect is reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation, a skin reaction seen in most patients.
Humanised IgG4 anti-PD-1 (Jiangsu Hengrui). ESCORT (second-line ESCC) and ESCORT-1st (first-line with chemotherapy, OS 15.3 vs 12.0 months) in China; ESCORT-NEO neoadjuvant; CARES-310 with rivoceranib in HCC (OS 22.1 vs 15.2 months). A US BLA for the HCC combination received complete response letters (2024, 2025) over manufacturing and travel-inspection issues. Distinctive toxicity: reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP) in most patients.
Backbone ribbon from PDB 7CU5. RCSB PDB 7CU5. The ribbon widens where the chain is folded into a regular pattern and narrows where it is a loose loop.
PD-1 blockade. Connects to PD-1.
