Nivolumab

Nivolumab (nye vol' ue mab), marketed as Opdivo, is a human IgG4 anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody used to treat cancer. Nivolumab works as a checkpoint inhibitor, blocking a signal that would have prevented activated T cells from attacking the cancer, thus allowing the immune system to clear the cancer. It was discovered at Medarex, developed by Medarex and Ono Pharmaceutical, and brought to market by Bristol-Myers Squibb (which acquired Medarex in 2009) and Ono.
