Shots:
- AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi durvalumab (1500mg, fd, q4w) is recommended for approval in the EU for an additional dosing option in the approved indication of LA, unresectable NSCLC in adults whose tumors express PD-L1 on at least 1% of tumor cells and whose disease has not progressed following platinum-based CRT
- The CHMP opinion is based on P-III PACIFIC trial that supported the 2wk, weight-based dosing of 10mg/kg q2w already approved in LA, unresectable NSCLC & the P-III CASPIAN trial which used fd, q4w during maintenance treatment in ES-SCLC
- The option would extend dosing from two to four weeks, reducing medical visits and improving patient convenience
