WHAT IMFINZI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
IMFINZI contains the active substance durvalumab which is a monoclonal
antibody, a type of protein
designed to recognise a specific target substance in the body. IMFINZI
works by helping your immune
system fight your cancer.
IMFINZI is used to treat a type of lung cancer called non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC) in adults. It
is used alone when your NSCLC:

has spread within your lung and cannot be removed by surgery, and

has responded or stabilised after initial treatment with chemotherapy
and radiotherapy.
It is used in combination with tremelimumab and chemotherapy when your
NSCLC:

has spread within both your lungs (and/or to other parts of the body),
cannot be removed by
surgery and

has shown no changes (mutations) in genes called EGFR (epidermal
growth factor receptor) or
ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase).
IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy is used to treat a type of
lung cancer called extensive-
stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) in adults. It is used when your
SCLC:

has spread within your lungs (or to other parts of the body) and

has not previously been treated.
IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy is used in adults to treat a
type of cancer of the bile ducts
(cholangiocarcinoma) and gallbladde
