Availability & biosimilar status
Biologics have no small-molecule generics; biosimilar competition is tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
Why the date isn’t exact: Biosimilar timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added or removed, and litigation can move the real date earlier or later.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Biologic patent
- A patent the reference product’s maker has publicly listed. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these expire — unless they’re invalidated or resolved in a settlement.
- Reference-product exclusivity
- A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from the biologic’s first licensure (the BPCIA). No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends, regardless of patents.
- Interchangeable exclusivity
- The first interchangeable biosimilar can earn a period as the only interchangeable version (pharmacists can substitute it without the prescriber).
- Earliest biosimilar (LOE)
- The latest of all the dates above — the soonest a biosimilar can realistically reach the market. Litigation and settlements can move it earlier.
Biologics have no small-molecule “generics” — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
| Code | What it grants | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| RefProduct | Reference-product exclusivity (12-year, BPCIA) — no biosimilar can be licensed before this date | Oct 27, 2035 |

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions ( 5.1 ) Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue, including the following: immune-mediated pneumonitis, immune-mediated colitis, immune-mediated hepatitis, immune-mediated endocrinopathies, immune-mediated nephritis with renal dysfunction, immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions, and solid organ transplant rejection. Monitor for early identification and management. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment.
( 5.1 ) Withhold or permanently discontinue based on severity and type of reaction. ( 5.1 ) Infusion-related reactions : Interrupt, slow the rate of infusion, or permanently discontinue LOQTORZI based on the severity of reaction. ( 5.2 ) Complications of allogeneic HSCT : Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic HSCT before or after being treated with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody.
( 5.3 ) Embryo-fetal toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective method of contraception. ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 )
5.1Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions LOQTORZI is a monoclonal antibody that belongs to a class of drugs that bind to either the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) or PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1), blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, thereby removing inhibition of the immune response, potentially breaking peripheral tolerance and inducing immune-mediated adverse reactions. Important immune-mediated adverse reactions listed under WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS may not include all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions.
Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue and can affect more than one body system simultaneously. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. While immune-mediated adverse reactions usually manifest during treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies, immune-mediated adverse reactions can also manifest after discontinuation of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies.
Early identification and management of immune-mediated adverse reactions are essential to ensure safe use of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Monitor closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment.
In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate. Withhold or permanently discontinue LOQTORZI depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .
In general, if LOQTORZI requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy.
Toxicity management guidelines for adverse reactions that do not necessarily require systemic steroids (e.g., endocrinopathies and dermatologic reactions) are discussed below. Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis LOQTORZI in Combination with Cisplatin and Gemcitabine LOQTORZI in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis. In patients treated with other PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies, the incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation.
Immune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 2.1% (3/146) of patients receiving… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Severe and fatal immune-mediated adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Infusion-related reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Complications of Allogeneic HSCT [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] LOQTORZI in Combination with Cisplatin and Gemcitabine The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) are nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, constipation, hypothyroidism, rash, pyrexia, diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy, cough, musculoskeletal pain, upper respiratory infection, insomnia, dizziness, and malaise.
( 6.1 ) LOQTORZI as a Single Agent The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) are fatigue, hypothyroidism and musculoskeletal pain. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Coherus Oncology, Inc. at 1-800-483-3692 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The data described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section reflect exposure to LOQTORZI at a dose of 240 mg every 3 weeks in combination with up to 6 cycles of cisplatin and gemcitabine, followed by LOQTORZI 240 mg IV every 3 weeks, in 146 patients with NPC enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (JUPITER-02).
Among the 146 patients, 73% were exposed to LOQTORZI for 6 months or more and 54% were exposed for 12 months or more. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were: nausea (71%), vomiting (68%), decreased appetite (55%), constipation (39%), hypothyroidism (38%), rash (36%), pyrexia (32%), diarrhea (31%), peripheral neuropathy (30%), cough (26%), musculoskeletal pain (25%), upper respiratory infection (23%), insomnia (23%), dizziness (21%), and malaise (21%). The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%) were: decreased neutrophils (58%), decreased lymphocytes (57%), decreased hemoglobin (50%) decreased platelets (33%), decreased potassium (10%), decreased sodium (9%), increased alanine aminotransferase (6%) increased or decreased magnesium (4.2% each), decreased calcium (3.5%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (2.7%), and bilirubin increased (2.1%).
The data described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section also reflects exposure to LOQTORZI as a single agent at a dose of 3 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks in 851 patients enrolled in 12 trials: one randomized, active-controlled trial and 11 open-label, non-randomized trials. The tumor types included nasopharyngeal carcinoma (n=193) or other types of tumors (n=658). Among the 851 patients treated with LOQTORZI as a single agent, 35% were exposed for 6 months or more and 20% were exposed for 12 months or more.
In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥20%) adverse reactions were: fatigue (22%), hypothyroidism (20%), and musculoskeletal pain (20%). The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%), were decreased sodium (9%), decreased lymphocytes (8%), decreased hemoglobin (7%), decreased fibrinogen (4.5%), increased lipase (4.0%), increased amylase (2.9%), decreased phosphate (2.8%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (2.6%), increased glucose (2.5%), and increased triglycerides (2.1%). First-line Treatment of Metastatic or Recurrent, Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) The safety of LOQTORZI in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine was evaluated in JUPITER-02 [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
Key eligibility criteria were recurrent locally advanced or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) not previously treated with systemic chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic disease. Patients with recurrent NPC after treatment with curative intent were required to have an interval of at least 6 months between… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action, LOQTORZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of LOQTORZI in pregnant women. Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-mediated rejection of the developing fetus and result in fetal death (see Data ) .
Human IgG4 immunoglobulins (IgG4) are known to cross the placenta; therefore, LOQTORZI can potentially be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with LOQTORZI to evaluate its effect on reproduction and fetal development. A central function of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is to preserve pregnancy by maintaining maternal immune tolerance to the fetus. In murine models of pregnancy, blockade of PD-L1 signaling has been shown to disrupt tolerance to the fetus and to result in an increase in fetal loss; therefore, potential risks of administering LOQTORZI during pregnancy could include increased rates of abortion or stillbirth.
As reported in the literature, there were no malformations related to the blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 signaling in the offspring of these animals; however, immune-mediated disorders occurred in PD-1 and PD-L1 knockout mice. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to toripalimab-tpzi may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of toripalimab-tpzi in human milk or its effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed child to toripalimab-tpzi are unknown.
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment with LOQTORZI and for 4 months after the last dose.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential LOQTORZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ]. Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating LOQTORZI [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LOQTORZI and for 4 months after the last dose.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LOQTORZI have not been established in pediatric patients [see Indications and Usage (1) ].
8.5Geriatric Use Of the 146 patients with NPC who were treated with LOQTORZI in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine 7 (4.8%) were 65 years or older; there were no patients 75 years and older. Clinical studies of LOQTORZI in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine did not include a sufficient number of patients aged 65 years and over with NPC to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Of the 851 patients with tumor types including nasopharyngeal carcinoma or other types of tumors from the safety pool treated with LOQTORZI as a single agent, 171 (20%) patients were 65 years or older and 13 (1.5%) patients were 75 years and older.
No overall differences in safety were observed between elderly patients and younger patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Of the 190 patients with NPC treated with LOQTORZI as single agent, 10 (5%) patients were 65 years or older; there were no patients 75 years and older. Clinical studies of LOQTORZI did not include sufficient numbers of pati… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Binding of the PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, to the PD-1 receptor found on T cells, inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine production. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors and signaling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumors. Toripalimab-tpzi is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-1 receptor and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response.
In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth.
12.2Pharmacodynamics The toripalimab-tpzi exposure-response relationships and time course of pharmacodynamic response are not fully characterized.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Toripalimab-tpzi pharmacokinetic parameters are presented as geometric mean (coefficient of variation [CV]%) unless otherwise noted. Toripalimab-tpzi concentrations increased in non-linearly over the dose range of 0.3 to 10 mg/kg every two weeks (0.1 to 3.3 times the approved recommended 3 mg/kg dosage in a 64 kg patient). Steady state was reached by Week 7.
The mean accumulation ratio was approximately 1.4 for maximum concentration (C max ) and 1.9 for area under the serum concentration curve (AUC) following multiple doses at the approved recommended dosages of 240 mg Q3W in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine and 3 mg/kg Q2W as monotherapy. Distribution The mean volume of distribution at steady state (V ss ) of toripalimab-tpzi was
3.7L (27%). Elimination The mean clearance (CL) was 14.9 mL/h (31%) after the first dose and 9.5 mL/h (36%) at steady state. The mean terminal half-life (t 1/2 ) (± standard deviation) was 10 ± 1.5 days after the first dose and 18 ± 9.4 days at steady state.
Metabolism Toripalimab-tpzi is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics were observed based on age (21 to 85 years), body weight (32 to 164 kg), sex, race (White and Asian), concomitant chemotherapy, mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 60 to 89 mL/min), mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 times ULN with any AST or total bilirubin ≤ ULN with AST > ULN), tumor burden and primary cancer.
The effect of moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) or severe (total bilirubin > 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment or of moderate (CLcr 30 to 59 mL/min) or severe (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min ) renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of toripalimab-tpzi has not been studied.
12.6Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of ADA in the studies described below with the incidence of ADA in other studies, including those of LOQTORZI or of other toripalimab products. Of the 146 evaluable patients in JUPITER-02 with nasopharyngeal cancer who received LOQTORZI 240 mg every 3 weeks for a median duration of 15.1 months, in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin, 3.4% tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA.
Of the 190 evaluable patients in study POLARIS-02 with nasopharyngeal cancer who received LOQTORZI 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks for a median duration of 3.3 months, 3.7% of patients developed treatment-emergent ADA. Neutralizing antibodies have not been tested. Due to the low incidence of ADA, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, or effectiveness of LOQTORZI is unknown.
🧬 Mechanism of Action ▾
12.1Mechanism of Action Binding of the PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, to the PD-1 receptor found on T cells, inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine production. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors and signaling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumors. Toripalimab-tpzi is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-1 receptor and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response.
In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth.

Medication Guide LOQTORZI (lok tor zee) (toripalimab-tpzi) injection This Medication Guide has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Issued: 07/2025 What is the most important information I should know about LOQTORZI?
LOQTORZI is a medicine that may treat nasopharyngeal cancer by working with your immune system. LOQTORZI can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in any area of your body and can affect the way they work. These problems can sometimes become severe or life-threatening and can lead to death.
You can have more than one of these problems at the same time. These problems may happen anytime during treatment or even after treatment has ended. Call or see your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worse signs or symptoms, including: Lung problems cough shortness of breath chest pain Intestinal problems diarrhea (loose stools) or more frequent bowel movements than usual stools that are black, tarry, sticky, or have blood or mucus severe stomach-area (abdomen) pain or tenderness Liver problems yellowing of skin or the whites of your eyes severe nausea or vomiting pain on the right side of your stomach-area (abdomen) dark urine (tea colored) bleeding or bruising more easily than normal Hormone gland problems headaches that will not go away or unusual headaches eye sensitivity to light eye problems rapid heartbeat increased sweating extreme tiredness weight gain or weight loss feeling more hungry or thirsty than usual urinating more often than usual hair loss feeling cold constipation your voice gets deeper dizziness or fainting change in mood or behavior, such as decreased sex drive, irritability, or forgetfulness Kidney problems decrease in your amount of urine blood in your urine swelling of your ankles loss of appetite Skin problems rash itching skin blistering or peeling painful sores or ulcers in your mouth or in your nose, throat, or genital area fever or flu-like symptoms swollen lymph nodes Problems can also happen in other organs and tissues.
These are not all of the signs and symptoms of immune system problems that can happen with LOQTORZI. Call or see your healthcare provider right away for any new or worsening signs or symptoms, which may include: chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, swelling of ankles confusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems, tingling or numbness of the arms or legs double vision, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain, changes in eyesight persistent or severe muscle pain or weakness, muscle cramps low red blood cells, bruising Infusion reactions that can sometimes be severe or life-threatening .
Signs or symptoms of infusion reactions may include: chills or shaking itching or rash flushing shortness of breath or wheezing dizziness feeling like passing out fever back pain Rejection of a transplanted organ. Your healthcare provider should tell you what signs and symptoms you should report and monitor, depending on the type of organ transplant that you have had. Complications, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), in people who have received a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic).
These complications can be serious and can lead to death. These complications may happen if you underwent transplantation either before or after being treated with LOQTORZI. Your healthcare provider will monitor you for these complications.
Getting medical treatment right away may help keep these problems from becoming more serious. Your healthcare provider will check you for these problems during treatment with LOQTORZI. Your healthcare provider may treat you with corticosteroid or hormone replacement medicines.
Your healthcare provider may also need to delay or completely stop treatment with LOQTORZI if you have severe side effects. What is LOQTORZI? LOQTORZI is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with a kind of cancer called… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
12.3Pharmacokinetics Toripalimab-tpzi pharmacokinetic parameters are presented as geometric mean (coefficient of variation [CV]%) unless otherwise noted. Toripalimab-tpzi concentrations increased in non-linearly over the dose range of 0.3 to 10 mg/kg every two weeks (0.1 to 3.3 times the approved recommended 3 mg/kg dosage in a 64 kg patient). Steady state was reached by Week 7.
The mean accumulation ratio was approximately 1.4 for maximum concentration (C max ) and 1.9 for area under the serum concentration curve (AUC) following multiple doses at the approved recommended dosages of 240 mg Q3W in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine and 3 mg/kg Q2W as monotherapy. Distribution The mean volume of distribution at steady state (V ss ) of toripalimab-tpzi was
3.7L (27%). Elimination The mean clearance (CL) was 14.9 mL/h (31%) after the first dose and 9.5 mL/h (36%) at steady state. The mean terminal half-life (t 1/2 ) (± standard deviation) was 10 ± 1.5 days after the first dose and 18 ± 9.4 days at steady state.
Metabolism Toripalimab-tpzi is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics were observed based on age (21 to 85 years), body weight (32 to 164 kg), sex, race (White and Asian), concomitant chemotherapy, mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 60 to 89 mL/min), mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 times ULN with any AST or total bilirubin ≤ ULN with AST > ULN), tumor burden and primary cancer.
The effect of moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) or severe (total bilirubin > 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment or of moderate (CLcr 30 to 59 mL/min) or severe (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min ) renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of toripalimab-tpzi has not been studied.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1First-line Treatment of Metastatic or Recurrent, Locally Advanced NPC with Cisplatin and Gemcitabine The efficacy of LOQTORZI in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine was investigated in JUPITER-02 (NCT03581786), a randomized, multicenter, single region, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 289 patients with metastatic or recurrent, locally advanced NPC who had not received previous systemic chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic disease. Patients with recurrent NPC after treatment with curative intent were required to have an interval of at least 6 months between the last dose of radiotherapy or chemotherapy and recurrence.
Patients with autoimmune disease, other than stable hypothyroidism or Type I diabetes, and patients who required systemic immunosuppression were ineligible. Randomization was stratified according to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) (0 versus 1) and disease stage (recurrent versus metastatic). Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive one of the following treatments: LOQTORZI 240 mg intravenously every 3 weeks in combination with cisplatin 80 mg/m 2 on Day 1 every 3 weeks gemcitabine 1000 mg/m 2 on Days 1 and 8 for up to 6 cycles, followed by LOQTORZI 240 mg once every 3 weeks, or Placebo intravenously every 3 weeks in combination with cisplatin 80 mg/m 2 on Day 1 every 3 weeks and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m 2 on Days 1 and 8 for up to 6 cycles, followed by placebo once every 3 weeks.
Treatment with LOQTORZI or placebo continued until disease progression per RECIST v1.1, unacceptable toxicity, or a maximum of 2 years. Administration of LOQTORZI was permitted beyond radiographic progression if the patient was deriving benefit as assessed by the investigator. Tumor assessments were performed every 6 weeks for the first 12 months and every 9 weeks thereafter.
The main efficacy outcome measure was Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC)-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) according to RECIST v1.1. Additional efficacy outcome measures include BIRC-assessed overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS). The study population characteristics were: median age of 48 years (range: 19 to 72), 4.8% age 65 or older, 83% male, 100% Asian, and 57% had ECOG PS of 0.
Eighty-six percent of patients had metastatic disease at study entry. Histological subtypes of NPC included 98% non-keratinizing, 1% keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, and 1% did not have the subtype identified. Efficacy results of the pre-specified interim analysis of PFS and final analysis of OS are summarized in Table 7 and Figure 1 below.
The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvements in BIRC-assessed PFS, ORR and OS for patients randomized to LOQTORZI in combination with cisplatin/gemcitabine compared to cisplatin and gemcitabine with placebo.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility No studies have been performed to test the potential of toripalimab-tpzi for carcinogenicity or genotoxicity. Fertility studies have not been conducted with toripalimab-tpzi. In 4-week and 26-week repeat-dose toxicology studies in sexually mature cynomolgus monkeys, there were no adverse or notable effects in the male and female reproductive organs.
13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology In animal models, inhibition of PD-1/PD-L1 signaling increased the severity of some infections and enhanced inflammatory responses. Mycobacterium tuberculosis -infected PD-1 knockout mice exhibit markedly decreased survival compared with wild-type controls, which correlated with increased bacterial proliferation and inflammatory responses in these animals. PD-1 blockade using a primate anti-PD1 antibody was also shown to exacerbate M. tuberculosis infection in rhesus macaques.
PD-1 and PD-L1 knockout mice and mice receiving PD-L1 blocking antibody have also shown decreased survival following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
