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

In 2018, toripalimab was approved in China for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma that has failed previous systemic therapy. 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.
