A Phase 1 Study of GNR-051 in Subjects With Advanced Malignancies

GNR-051 is a monoclonal antibody, targeting the Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) membrane receptor on T lymphocytes and other cells of the immune system. The anti-PD-1 antibody, preventing the binding of the PD-1 receptor with the ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, reactivates the pool of tumor-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment and, thus, reactivates the antitumor immunity. GNR-051 is able to block the signaling molecule PD-1, which suppresses the antitumor immune response, for the treatment of cancer.
