Has anyone been using Serplulimab Injection?
Hi everyone! I often feel very depressed. I try to be happy, but it's hard to feel joy. I'm tired of missing out on everything, feeling frustrated, sad, and heartbroken... Yes, I have NSCLC, and facing various medications every day terrifies me; hair loss, insomnia... all sorts of side effects are hitting me head-on.
Recently, I saw an advertisement for a drug for NSCLC, Serplulimab Injection—an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody—on WeChat official accounts and the websites of NMPA and dengyuemed. It's an innovative drug from China, already marketed in nearly 40 countries and regions, including the EU, UK, Singapore, and Indonesia. I just don't know how effective it is. Does anyone know anything about this drug?
Thank you for your reply ❤️

hi @young112 - I looked up Serplulimab and it seems like there was a clinical trial to look at efficacy in advanced squamous cell lung cancer.

may I ask what kind of NSCLC you have and what your treatment is? I can absolutely relate to the side effects like hair loss being a real downer. do you feel like your care team is helping you mitigate them?

2 Reactions@young112, this is a hard diagnosis to live with. We all have our own version of the ups and downs. The treatments can alter our natural state and balance too. Have you talked with your doctor about your feelings and issues? Possibly a consult to palliative care may be helpful. They can be our experts on dealing with side effects.
It’s ok to feel down sometimes, to process all the feelings and the reality of what you are facing and dealing with. Just try not to stay in that place for too long, a day or two, ok?
How long ago were you diagnosed? What stage are you?

2 Reactions@young112, Have you had a chance to ask your oncologist about the Serplulimab? How are you holding up?
