WHAT IMJUDO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
IMJUDO is an anti-cancer medicine. It contains the active substance
tremelimumab, which is a type of

recognise a specific target
substance in the body. IMJUDO works by helping your immune system
fight your cancer.

As IMJUDO will be given in combination with other anti-cancer
