Cemiplimab for locally advanced and metastatic basal cell carcinoma

Abstract

Cemiplimab is the first FDA (2021) approved anti-PD-1 antagonist for the systemic treatment of laBCC and mBCC which had previously shown disease progression on or intolerance to HHIs. Experts currently recommend cemiplimab as a first-line systemic alternative. As cemiplimab therapy is associated with a risk of organ graft rejection, advantages and disadvantages should be evaluated for every individual OTR patient with laBCC or mBCC, eligible for cemiplimab therapy.
