Envafolimab is the first PD-L1 antibody given as a quick injection under the skin rather than an infusion, approved in China for advanced tumours with mismatch-repair deficiency.
Approved by the NMPA in November 2021 for previously treated MSI-H or dMMR advanced solid tumours, on a single-arm study across colorectal and other cancers, the first subcutaneous PD-(L)1 antibody approved anywhere. Developed by Alphamab Oncology with 3D Medicines in China; TRACON Pharmaceuticals held North American rights for a sarcoma programme that did not succeed. Its convenience rather than potency is the point: a 30-second injection in a country where infusion chairs are scarce outside big cities.
Backbone ribbon from PDB 5JDS. RCSB PDB 5JDS. The ribbon widens where the chain is folded into a regular pattern and narrows where it is a loose loop.
Envafolimab is this nanobody fused to an Fc; the Fc is not shown.
Camelid-derived humanised single-domain anti-PD-L1 antibody fused to an IgG1 Fc, small enough for a rapid subcutaneous injection. Connects to PD-L1.
