Checkpoint-blocking antibodies can generate potent anti-tumor responses by encouraging
the immune system to seek and destroy cancer cells. At this time, the United States Food
and Drug Administration has approved three checkpoint-blocking antibodies in three
disease indications, and additional approvals are expected to broaden the clinical scope of
immunotherapy. Herein, we review the clinical development of CTLA-4-, PD-1-, and PD-L1-
blocking antibodies across tumor types and briefly discuss areas of active investigation of …
