چکیده

 CADTH recommends that Imfinzi should be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer (BTC) if certain conditions are met.
 in combination with gemcitabine plus platinum-based chemotherapy only covered to treat patients BTC who have not received prior treatment. Patients receiving relatively good health (i.e., a performance status, as determined specialist).
 when it is used and chemotherapy, prescribed specialists experience managing BTC, cost reduced. Ampulla Vater (AoV) cancer.

Durvalumab: First Global Approval
Intravenous durvalumab (Imfinzi™; AstraZeneca) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that blocks programmed cell death ligand-1 binding to its receptors (PD-1 and CD80), resulting in enhanced T-cell responses against cancer cells. The US FDA has granted durvalumab accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have disease progress...
متن کاملProgressive hypoventilation due to mixed CD8+ and CD4+ lymphocytic polymyositis following tremelimumab - durvalumab treatment
BACKGROUND The combination of CTLA-4 and PD-L1 inhibitors has a manageable adverse effect profile, although rare immune-related adverse events (irAE) can occur. CASE PRESENTATION We describe an autoimmune polymyositis following a partial response to combination tremelimumab and durvalumab for the treatment of recurrent lung adenocarcinoma. Radiography revealed significant reduction in all met...
متن کاملDurvalumab after Chemoradiotherapy in Stage III Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
BACKGROUND Most patients with locally advanced, unresectable, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have disease progression despite definitive chemoradiotherapy (chemotherapy plus concurrent radiation therapy). This phase 3 study compared the anti-programmed death ligand 1 antibody durvalumab as consolidation therapy with placebo in patients with stage III NSCLC who did not have disease progressi...
متن کاملDurvalumab: an investigational anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma
Our expanding knowledge of immunotherapy for solid tumors has led to an explosion of clinical trials aimed at urothelial carcinoma. The primary strategy is centered on unleashing the immune system by releasing the inhibitory signals propagated by programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1). Many antibody constructs have been developed to block these inte...
متن کاملPhase III, randomized, open-label study of durvalumab (MEDI4736) monotherapy, or durvalumab + tremelimumab, versus standard of care (SoC), in recurrent or metastatic (R/M) squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN): eagle
Background Patients with R/M SCCHN have a poor prognosis, and current therapies used after failure of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy provide transient, limited benefit. SCCHN tumors are highly immunosuppressive and evade immune detection by exploiting inhibitory immune checkpoints such as the programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1)/programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) axis. High mutational loa...
