Immunotherapy drugs are a broad category of therapeutic agents that help stimulate the body's immune system to combat diseases. These drugs include antibody therapies, cell & gene therapy, inhibitor drugs, and other drugs such as oncolytic viral therapy and cancer vaccines. These drugs are engineered to enhance the immune response or counteract the immune system's regulatory mechanisms, thereby enabling the body to effectively target and eliminate disease-causing agents or cells. Immunotherapy drugs are used to treat various medical conditions, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, hematology, osteology, neurology, and other therapy areas (such as ophthalmology, dermatology, and cardiovascular disorders).
