Toripalimab, sold under the brand name Loqtorzi, is a monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of melanoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.[3][7] Toripalimab is a recombinant humanized programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody that acts as a checkpoint inhibitor.[8]

In 2018, toripalimab was approved in China for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma that has failed previous systemic therapy.[8] In October 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved toripalimab for the first-line treatment of adults with metastatic or recurrent, locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma when used with cisplatin and gemcitabine.[7][9]
