Introduction
Imported PD-1 drugs include pembrolizumab injection, nivolumab injection, and pambolimab injection. Pembrolizumab injection can treat diseases such as non-small cell lung cancer. Nivolumab injection acts on the PD-1 receptor of T cells and is used to treat renal cell carcinoma, among others. Pambolimab injection targets the HER2 protein on the surface of cancer cells for targeted therapy.

Imported PD-1 drugs include pembrolizumab injection, nivolumab injection, and pambrolimab injection. A detailed analysis is as follows:

2. Nivolumab Injection

This is a monoclonal antibody that acts on the PD-1 receptor of T cells, promoting T cells to attack tumor cells. It is used in the treatment of various malignant tumors, such as metastatic melanoma, advanced non-small cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma.

3. Pambrolimab Injection

This is a biological agent used to treat gastric cancer and breast cancer. As a monoclonal antibody drug, it targets the HER2 protein on the surface of cancer cells for targeted therapy.
