[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced on the 14th that it has approved GlaxoSmithKline's new drug for endometrial cancer treatment, Gemperizoo (Dostarlimab).


Gemperizoo is a monoclonal antibody targeting the immune checkpoint receptor programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) on immune cells (T cells). It blocks the mechanism by which cancer cells use PD-1 to evade attacks from immune cells (T cells), helping immune cells eliminate cancer cells.



The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety stated, "We will continue to do our best to ensure that treatments with confirmed safety and efficacy are supplied promptly, based on regulatory science."
