Benefits

Avelumab is a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein) that attaches to a specific target in the body called PD-L1. It binds to PD-L1 and blocks this protective effect, allowing the immune system to attack the tumour cells. It also induces antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, ultimately leading to cancer cell death.
