By Allessandra DiCorato October 11, 2023 In 2011, Robert Manguso was working in a cell biology lab when his mother was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. The drugs work by blocking a protein, PD-1 — which helps keep immune responses in check — and stimulating the immune system to attack tumors.

Opdivo is a programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor that is designed to uniquely harness the body’s own immune system to help restore anti-tumor immune response. By harnessing the body’s own immune system to fight cancer, Opdivo has become an important treatment option across multiple cancers.

Kerry Reynolds: The first immune checkpoint inhibitor was FDA-approved in 2011 to treat melanoma, with nearly a dozen more ICIs approved for various cancers since then. How big of a problem are these complications from cancer immunotherapy? How did you go about launching this effort?

Even in good years, such as 2010-2011, the vaccine tops out at about 60 percent efficacy. In one study testing this hypothesis, these stalk-directed immune responses elicited significantly higher antibody titers than a seasonal comparator against multiple H1 flu strains as well as an H5 flu strain.
