Durvalumab injection is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not spread and cannot be removed by surgery in patients who have received other cancer medicines (eg, platinum) and radiation treatment for their NSCLC. This medicine is also used in combination with etoposide and either carboplatin or cisplatin as first-line treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). It is also used in combination with tremelimumab-actl to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to other parts of the body in patients whose tumors do not have an abnormal EGFR or ALK gene.
Durvalumab injection is also used in combination with other cancer medicines (eg, gemcitabine, cisplatin) to treat biliary tract cancer (BTC) that has spread to nearby tissues or to other parts of the body.
Durvalumab injection is also used in combination with tremelimumab-actl to treat liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma or uHCC).
Durvalumab injection is also used alone or in combination with other cancer medicines (eg, carboplatin and paclitaxel) to treat mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) advanced endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus or womb) that has spread or has come back.
