Warnings and precautions

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

  • Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions ( 5.1 ) ∘ Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue, including the following: immune-mediated pneumonitis, immune-mediated colitis, immune-mediated hepatitis, immune-mediated endocrinopathies, immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions, immune-mediated nephritis and renal dysfunction, solid organ transplant rejection, and immune-mediated pancreatitis. o Monitor for early identification and management. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. o Withhold or permanently discontinue based on severity and type of reaction.
  • Infusion-Related Reactions: Interrupt, slow the rate of infusion, or permanently discontinue IMFINZI based on the severity of the reaction. ( 5.2 )
  • Complications of Allogeneic HSCT: Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic HSCT before or after being treated with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. ( 5.3 )
  • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and use of effective contraception. ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 )

5.1 Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions IMFINZI is a monoclonal antibody that belongs to a class of drugs that bind to either the programmed death-receptor 1 (PD-1) or the PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1), blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, thereby removing inhibition of the immune response, potentially breaking peripheral tolerance and inducing immune-mediated adverse reactions. Important immune-mediated adverse reactions listed under Warnings and Precautions may not include all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions. The incidence and severity of immune-mediated adverse reactions were similar when IMFINZI was administered as a single agent or in combination with chemotherapy, tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy, or BCG, unless otherwise noted. Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting treatment with a PD 1/PD L1 blocking antibody. While immune-mediated adverse reactions usually manifest during treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies, immune-mediated adverse reactions can also manifest after discontinuation of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Early identification and management of immune-mediated adverse reactions are essential to ensure safe use of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMFINZI depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . In general, if IMFINZI requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 mg to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy. Toxicity management guidelines for adverse reactions that do not necessarily require systemic steroids (e.g., endocrinopathies and dermatologic reactions) are discussed below. Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis IMFINZI can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis. The incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation. IMFINZI as a Single Agent In Patients Who Did Not Receive Recent Prior Radiation In patients who received IMFINZI on clinical studies in which radiation therapy was generally not administered immediately prior to initiation of IMFINZI, the incidence of immune-mediated pneumonitis was 2.4% (34/1414), including fatal (< 0.1%), and Grade 3-4 (0.4%) adverse reactions. Events resolved in 19 of the 34 patients and resulted in permanent discontinuation in 5 patients. Systemic corticosteroids were required in 19 patients (19/34) with pneumonitis who did not receive chemoradiation prior to initiation of IMFINZI. The frequency and severity of immune-mediated pneumonitis in patients who did not receive definitive chemoradiation prior to IMFINZI were similar whether IMFINZI was given as a single agent in patients with various cancers in a pooled data set or in patients with ES-SCLC or BTC when given in combination with chemotherapy.

5.3 Complications of Allogeneic HSCT after IMFINZI Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1/L-1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT. Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefit versus risks of treatment with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT.

5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action and data from animal studies, IMFINZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of durvalumab to cynomolgus monkeys from the onset of organogenesis through delivery resulted in increased premature delivery, fetal loss and premature neonatal death. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IMFINZI and for 3 months after the last dose of IMFINZI [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3 )] .

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The data described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section reflect exposure to IMFINZI as a single agent in a total of 1,889 patients enrolled in the PACIFIC study (a randomized, placebo-controlled study that enrolled 475 patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC), Study 1108 (an open-label, single-arm, multicohort study that enrolled 970 patients with advanced solid tumors), and an additional open-label, single-arm study (ATLANTIC Study) that enrolled 444 patients with advanced solid tumors, including NSCLC. In these studies, IMFINZI was administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks. Among the 1889 patients, 38% were exposed for 6 months or more and 18% were exposed for 12 months or more. The data also reflect exposure to IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks as a single agent in 262 patients from the ADRIATIC study (a randomized, double-blind study in patients with LS-SCLC) and to IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy in 265 patients from the CASPIAN study (a randomized, open-label study in patients with ES-SCLC) and in 338 patients from the TOPAZ-1 study (a randomized, double-blind study in patients with BTC). In the CASPIAN and TOPAZ-1 studies, IMFINZI was administered at a dose of 1,500 mg every 3 or 4 weeks. The data also reflect exposure to IMFINZI 1,120 mg in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel (every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles) followed by IMFINZI 1,500 mg (every 4 weeks) as a single agent in 235 patients in DUO-E (a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in endometrial cancer). Among the 235 patients, 77% (181 patients) were exposed to IMFINZI for 6 months or more and 41% (96 patients) for 12 months or more. The data also reflect exposure to IMFINZI 1,500 mg in combination with tremelimumab-actl 300 mg in 388 patients in HIMALAYA. In the HIMALAYA study patients received IMFINZI 1,500 mg in combination with tremelimumab-actl as a single intravenous infusion of 300 mg, followed by IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks. The pooled safety population (N = 596) described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section reflect exposure to IMFINZI 1,500 mg in combination with tremelimumab-actl 75 mg and histology-based platinum chemotherapy regimens in 330 patients in POSEIDON [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] , and 266 patients with ES-SCLC in CASPIAN who received up to four cycles of platinum-etoposide plus IMFINZI 1,500 mg with tremelimumab-actl 75 mg every 3 weeks, followed by IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks (an unapproved regimen for extensive stage small cell lung cancer). Among the 596 patients, 55% were exposed to IMFINZI for 6 months or more and 24% were exposed for 12 months or more. The data described in this section reflect exposure to IMFINZI in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC enrolled in the PACIFIC study, in patients with metastatic NSCLC enrolled in the POSEIDON study, in patients with LS-SCLC enrolled in the ADRIATIC study, in patients with ES-SCLC enrolled in the CASPIAN study, in patients with BTC enrolled in the TOPAZ 1 study, in patients with uHCC included in the HIMALAYA study, in patients with dMMR endometrial cancer enrolled in the DUO-E study, in patients with resectable NSCLC enrolled in the AEGEAN study, in patients with BCG-naïve, high-risk NMIBC enrolled in the POTOMAC study, and in patients with MIBC enrolled in the NIAGARA study. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Treatment of Resectable NSCLC – AEGEAN The safety of IMFINZI in combination with neoadjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy followed by surgery, and continued adjuvant treatment with IMFINZI as a single agent after surgery, was investigated in AEGEAN, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study for patients with resectable NSCLC (Stage IIA to select Stage IIIB [AJCC, 8th edition]); squamous or non-squamous) [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Safety data are available for the 799 patients who received IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy (n=401) or placebo in combination with chemotherapy (n=398). The median duration of exposure to IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 3 weeks in the neoadjuvant phase was 12 weeks (range: 0 to 19 weeks). The median duration of exposure to IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks in the adjuvant phase was 37 weeks (range: 4 to 67 weeks). The median age of patients who received IMFINZI was 65 years (range: 30 to 88), 52% age 65 or older, 12% age 75 or older; 65% male; 54% White, 41% Asian, 1% Black, 3% Other races; and 17% Hispanic or Latino. The most common adverse reactions (occurring in ≥ 20% of patients) were anemia, nausea, constipation, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and rash. Table 5 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in (≥ 10%) patients treated with IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy. Table 5.

The most frequent (≥0.5%) adverse reaction that led to permanent discontinuation of adjuvant IMFINZI was pneumonitis (1.1%) and rash (0.8%). Unresectable Stage III NSCLC - PACIFIC The safety of IMFINZI in patients with Stage III NSCLC who completed concurrent platinum-based chemoradiotherapy within 42 days prior to initiation of study drug was evaluated in the PACIFIC study, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. A total of 475 patients received IMFINZI 10 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks. The study excluded patients who had disease progression following chemoradiation, with active or prior autoimmune disease within 2 years of initiation of the study or with medical conditions that required systemic immunosuppression [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. The study population characteristics were: median age of 64 years (range: 23 to 90), 45% age 65 years or older, 70% male, 69% White, 27% Asian, 75% former smoker, 16% current smoker, and 51% had WHO performance status (PS) of 1. All patients received definitive radiotherapy as per protocol, of which 92% received a total radiation dose of 54 Gy to 66 Gy. The median duration of exposure to IMFINZI was 10 months (range: 0.2 to 12.6). IMFINZI was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 15% of patients. The most common adverse reactions leading to IMFINZI discontinuation were pneumonitis or radiation pneumonitis in 6% of patients. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 29% of patients receiving IMFINZI. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in at least 2% of patients were pneumonitis or radiation pneumonitis (7%) and pneumonia (6%). Fatal pneumonitis or radiation pneumonitis and fatal pneumonia occurred in < 2% of patients and were similar across arms. The most common adverse reactions (occurring in ≥ 20% of patients) were cough, fatigue, pneumonitis or radiation pneumonitis, upper respiratory tract infections, dyspnea, and rash. Table 7 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients treated with IMFINZI. Table 7.

A total of 330 patients received IMFINZI 1,500 mg in combination with tremelimumab-actl (≥ 30 kg body weight received 75 mg and < 30 kg body weight received 1 mg/kg) and histology-based platinum chemotherapy regimens [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Of these patients, 66% received the maximum 5 doses of tremelimumab-actl and 79% received at least 4 doses. Treatment was continued with IMFINZI as a single agent (or with IMFINZI and histologically-based pemetrexed for non-squamous patients based on the investigator’s decision) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The study excluded patients with active or prior autoimmune disease or with medical conditions that required systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. The median age of patients who received IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy was 63 years (range: 27 to 87); 80% male; 61% White, 29% Asian, 58% former smoker, 25% current smoker, and 68% ECOG performance of 1. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 44% of patients receiving IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in at least 2% of patients were pneumonia (11%), anemia (5%), diarrhea (2.4%), thrombocytopenia (2.4%), pyrexia (2.4%), and febrile neutropenia (2.1%).

Use in specific populations

Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, IMFINZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of IMFINZI in pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, administration of durvalumab to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys from the confirmation of pregnancy through delivery at exposure levels approximately 6 to 20 times higher than those observed at the clinical dose of 10 mg/kg based on area under the curve (AUC), resulted in an increase in premature delivery, fetal loss, and premature neonatal death ( see Data ). Human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) is known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, durvalumab has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Apprise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data As reported in the literature, the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway plays a central role in preserving pregnancy by maintaining maternal immune tolerance to the fetus. In mouse allogeneic pregnancy models, disruption of PD-L1 signaling was shown to result in an increase in fetal loss. The effects of durvalumab on prenatal and postnatal development were evaluated in reproduction studies in cynomolgus monkeys. Durvalumab was administered from the confirmation of pregnancy through delivery at exposure levels approximately 6 to 20 times higher than those observed at a clinical dose of 10 mg/kg (based on AUC). Administration of durvalumab resulted in premature delivery, fetal loss (abortion and stillbirth), and increase in neonatal deaths. Durvalumab was detected in infant serum on postpartum Day 1, indicating the presence of placental transfer of durvalumab. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to durvalumab may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response and immune-mediated disorders have been reported in PD-1 knockout mice.

8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of durvalumab in human milk, its effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed child to IMFINZI are unknown. Durvalumab was present in the milk of lactating cynomolgus monkeys and was associated with premature neonatal death (see Data). Because of the potential for adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with IMFINZI and for 3 months after the last dose. Refer to the Prescribing Information for the agents administered in combination with IMFINZI for recommended duration to not breastfeed, as appropriate. Data In lactating cynomolgus monkeys, durvalumab was present in breast milk at about 0.15% of maternal serum concentrations after administration of durvalumab from the confirmation of pregnancy through delivery at exposure levels approximately 6 to 20 times higher than those observed at the recommended clinical dose of 10 mg/kg (based on AUC). Administration of durvalumab resulted in premature neonatal death .

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy testing Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with IMFINZI. Contraception Females IMFINZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IMFINZI and for 3 months following the last dose of IMFINZI. Refer to the Prescribing Information for the agents administered in combination with IMFINZI for recommended contraception duration, as appropriate.

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of IMFINZI have not been established in pediatric patients. Safety and efficacy were assessed but not established in a multi-center, open-label study (NCT03837899) in 45 pediatric patients aged 1 to < 17 years with advanced solid tumors. All 45 patients received at least a single dose of IMFINZI, and 41 patients received IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl. No new safety signals were observed in pediatric patients in this study. Durvalumab systemic exposure in pediatric patients weighing ≥ 35 kg was within the range of values previously observed in adults given the same weight-based dose, whereas the systemic exposure in pediatric patients weighing < 35 kg was lower than that observed in adults.

8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 401 patients with resectable NSCLC treated with IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy in the AEGEAN study, 209 (52%) patients were 65 years or older and 49 (12%) patients were 75 years or older. There were no overall clinically meaningful differences in safety or efficacy between patients ≥ 65 years of age and younger patients. Of the 476 patients with unresectable, Stage III NSCLC treated with IMFINZI in the PACIFIC study, 45% were 65 years or older, while 7.6% were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients 65 years or older and younger patients. The PACIFIC study did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 75 years and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Of the 330 patients with metastatic NSCLC treated with IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy, 143 (43%) patients were 65 years or older and 35 (11%) patients were 75 years or older. There were no clinically meaningful differences in safety or efficacy between patients 65 years or older and younger patients.

Pregnancy

Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, IMFINZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of IMFINZI in pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, administration of durvalumab to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys from the confirmation of pregnancy through delivery at exposure levels approximately 6 to 20 times higher than those observed at the clinical dose of 10 mg/kg based on area under the curve (AUC), resulted in an increase in premature delivery, fetal loss, and premature neonatal death ( see Data ). Human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) is known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, durvalumab has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Apprise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data As reported in the literature, the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway plays a central role in preserving pregnancy by maintaining maternal immune tolerance to the fetus. In mouse allogeneic pregnancy models, disruption of PD-L1 signaling was shown to result in an increase in fetal loss. The effects of durvalumab on prenatal and postnatal development were evaluated in reproduction studies in cynomolgus monkeys. Durvalumab was administered from the confirmation of pregnancy through delivery at exposure levels approximately 6 to 20 times higher than those observed at a clinical dose of 10 mg/kg (based on AUC). Administration of durvalumab resulted in premature delivery, fetal loss (abortion and stillbirth), and increase in neonatal deaths. Durvalumab was detected in infant serum on postpartum Day 1, indicating the presence of placental transfer of durvalumab. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to durvalumab may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response and immune-mediated disorders have been reported in PD-1 knockout mice.

Pediatric use

The safety and effectiveness of IMFINZI have not been established in pediatric patients. Safety and efficacy were assessed but not established in a multi-center, open-label study (NCT03837899) in 45 pediatric patients aged 1 to < 17 years with advanced solid tumors. All 45 patients received at least a single dose of IMFINZI, and 41 patients received IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl. No new safety signals were observed in pediatric patients in this study. Durvalumab systemic exposure in pediatric patients weighing ≥ 35 kg was within the range of values previously observed in adults given the same weight-based dose, whereas the systemic exposure in pediatric patients weighing < 35 kg was lower than that observed in adults.

Geriatric use

Description

Durvalumab is a programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) blocking antibody. Durvalumab is a human immunoglobulin G1 kappa (IgG1κ) monoclonal antibody that is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell suspension culture. IMFINZI (durvalumab) Injection for intravenous use is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution, free from visible particles. Each 500 mg vial of IMFINZI contains 500 mg of durvalumab in 10 mL solution. Each mL contains durvalumab, 50 mg, L-histidine (2 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (2.7 mg), α,α-trehalose dihydrate (104 mg), Polysorbate 80 (0.2 mg), and Water for Injection, USP. Each 120 mg vial of IMFINZI contains 120 mg of durvalumab in 2.4 mL solution. Each mL contains durvalumab, 50 mg, L-histidine (2 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (2.7 mg), α,α-trehalose dihydrate (104 mg), Polysorbate 80 (0.2 mg), and Water for Injection, USP.

Clinical pharmacology

12.1 Mechanism of Action Expression of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) can be induced by inflammatory signals (e.g., IFN-gamma) and can be expressed on both tumor cells and tumor-associated immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. PD-L1 blocks T-cell function and activation through interaction with PD-1 and CD80 (B7.1). By binding to its receptors, PD-L1 reduces cytotoxic T-cell activity, proliferation, and cytokine production. Durvalumab is a human immunoglobulin G1 kappa (IgG1κ) monoclonal antibody that binds to PD-L1 and blocks the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1 and CD80 (B7.1). Blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 and PD-L1/CD80 interactions releases the inhibition of immune responses, without inducing antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). PD-L1 blockade with durvalumab led to increased T-cell activation in vitro and decreased tumor size in co-engrafted human tumor and immune cell xenograft mouse models.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics The steady state AUC, Ctrough, and C max in patients administered with 1,500 mg every 4 weeks are 6% higher, 19% lower, and 55% higher than those administered with 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks, respectively. Based on the modeling of pharmacokinetic data and exposure relationships for safety, there are no anticipated clinically meaningful differences in efficacy and safety for the doses of 1,500 mg every 4 weeks compared to 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks in patients weighing > 30 kg with NSCLC.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of durvalumab as a single agent was studied in patients with doses ranging from 0.1 mg/kg (0.01 times the approved recommended dosage) to 20 mg/kg (2 times the approved recommended dosage) administered once every two, three, or four weeks. PK exposure increased more than dose-proportionally at doses < 3 mg/kg (0.3 times the approved recommended dosage) and dose proportionally at doses ≥ 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks. Steady state was achieved at approximately 16 weeks. The pharmacokinetics of durvalumab is similar when assessed as a single agent, when in combination with chemotherapy, when in combination with tremelimumab-actl and when in combination with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy. Distribution The geometric mean (% coefficient of variation [CV%]) steady state volume of distribution (Vss) was 5.4 (13.1%) L. Elimination Durvalumab clearance decreases over time, with a mean maximal reduction (CV%) from baseline values of approximately 23% (57%) resulting in a geometric mean (CV%) steady state clearance (CLss) of 8 mL/h (39%) at day 365; the decrease in CLss is not considered clinically relevant. The geometric mean (CV%) terminal half-life, based on baseline CL was approximately 21 (26%) days. Specific Populations There were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of durvalumab based on body weight (31 to 175 kg), age (18 to 96 years), sex, race (White, Black, Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, or Native American), albumin levels (4 to 57 g/L), lactate dehydrogenase levels (18 to 15,800 U/L), soluble PD-L1 (67 to 3,470 pg/mL), tumor type (NSCLC, SCLC, BTC and HCC), mild or moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min), and mild or moderate hepatic impairment (bilirubin ≤ 3x ULN and any AST). The effect of severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min) or severe hepatic impairment (bilirubin > 3x ULN and any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of durvalumab is unknown.

12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparison of the incidence of ADAs in the studies described below with the incidence of ADAs in other studies including those of IMFINZI or of other durvalumab products. In clinical trials of patients who received IMFINZI for 10 to 48 weeks at dosages of 1,500 mg every 4 weeks, 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks, 20 mg/kg every 4 weeks as a single agent or 1,120 mg every 3 weeks, or 1,500 mg every 3 weeks in the combination therapies, 3.6% (199/5,562) of evaluable patients tested positive for treatment-emergent anti-durvalumab antibodies, and 8.5% (17/199) of treatment-emergent ADA positive patients had neutralizing antibodies against durvalumab. There were no identified clinically significant effects of ADAs on durvalumab pharmacokinetics or safety; however, the effect of these ADAs on the effectiveness of IMFINZI is unknown.

Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, fertility

, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility The carcinogenic and genotoxic potential of durvalumab have not been evaluated. Animal fertility studies have not been conducted with durvalumab. In repeat-dose toxicology studies with durvalumab in sexually mature cynomolgus monkeys of up to 3 months duration, there were no notable effects on the male and female reproductive organs.
