- Cosibelimab: Checkpoint Therapeutics, a subsidiary of Fortress Biotech, is developing cosibelimab, an anti-PD-L1 antibody for the treatment of various cancers. If approved, it would compete with established PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors from companies like Merck (Keytruda) and Bristol Myers Squibb (Opdivo).

Summary
