5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

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 or in combination with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy, 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 trials 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.

In Patients Who Received Recent Prior Radiation

The incidence of pneumonitis (including radiation pneumonitis) in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC following definitive chemoradiation within 42 days prior to initiation of IMFINZI in PACIFIC was 18.3% (87/475) in patients receiving IMFINZI and 12.8% (30/234) in patients receiving placebo. Of the patients who received IMFINZI (475) 1.1% were fatal and 2.7% were Grade 3 adverse reactions. Events resolved in 50 of the 87 patients and resulted in permanent discontinuation in 27 patients.

Systemic corticosteroids were required in 64 patients (64/87) with pneumonitis who had received chemoradiation prior to initiation of IMFINZI, while 2 patients required use of infliximab with high-dose steroids.

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.

Ocular: Uveitis, iritis, and other ocular inflammatory toxicities can occur. Some cases can be associated with retinal detachment. Various grades of visual impairment to include blindness can occur. If uveitis occurs in combination with other immune-mediated adverse reactions, consider a Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like syndrome, as this may require treatment with systemic steroids to reduce the risk of permanent vision loss.

Gastrointestinal: Pancreatitis including increases in serum amylase and lipase levels, gastritis, duodenitis.

Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: Myositis/polymyositis, rhabdomyolysis and associated sequelae including renal failure, arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatic.

Endocrine: Hypoparathyroidism.

Other (hematologic/immune): Hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi lymphadenitis), sarcoidosis, immune thrombocytopenia, solid organ transplant rejection, other transplant (including corneal graft) rejection.

5.2 Infusion-Related Reactions

IMFINZI can cause severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions. Interrupt, slow the rate of, or permanently discontinue IMFINZI based on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. For Grade 1 or 2 infusion-related reactions, consider using pre-medications with subsequent doses.

IMFINZI as a Single Agent

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 ADVERSE REACTIONS

The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling.

Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Infusion-Related Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

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 trial (ATLANTIC Study) that enrolled 444 patients with advanced solid tumors, including NSCLC. In these trials, 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 in combination with chemotherapy in 265 patients from the CASPIAN study (a randomized, open-label study in patients with ES-SCLC), 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 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, and in patients with resectable NSCLC enrolled in the AEGEAN 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 1500 mg every 3 weeks in the neoadjuvant phase was 12 weeks (range: 0 to 19 weeks). The median duration of exposure to IMFINZI 1500 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.

Neoadjuvant Phase of AEGEAN

A total of 401 patients received at least 1 dose of IMFINZI in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment and 398 patients received at least 1 dose of placebo in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 21% of patients who received IMFINZI in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment; the most frequent (≥1%) serious adverse reactions were pneumonia (2.7%), anemia (1.5%), myelosuppression (1.5%), vomiting (1.2%), neutropenia (1%), and acute kidney injury (1%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2% of patients, including death due to COVID-19 pneumonia (0.5%), sepsis (0.5%), myocarditis (0.2%), decreased appetite (0.2%), hemoptysis (0.2%), and death not otherwise specified (0.2%).

Permanent discontinuation of any study drug due to an adverse reaction occurred in 14% of patients who received IMFINZI in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment; the most frequent (>0.5%) adverse reactions that led to permanent discontinuation of any study drug were anemia (1.5%), neutropenia (0.7%), myelosuppression (0.7%), and periphery sensory neuropathy (0.7%). Permanent discontinuation of IMFINZI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 6.7% of patients who received IMFINZI in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment; the most frequent (≥0.5%) adverse reactions that led to permanent discontinuation of IMFINZI were peripheral sensory neuropathy (0.7%) and pneumonitis (0.5%).

Of the 401 IMFINZI-treated patients and 398 placebo-treated patients who received neoadjuvant treatment, 1.7% (n=7) and 1% (n=4), respectively, did not receive surgery due to adverse reactions. Adverse reactions that led to cancellation of surgery in the IMFINZI arm were COVID-19 pneumonia, HIV infection, pneumonitis, prostate cancer, colon cancer, pruritus, and colitis.

Of the 325 IMFINZI-treated patients who received surgery, 4% (n=15) experienced delay of surgery (a surgical delay is defined as on-study surgery occurring more than 40 days after the last dose of study treatment in the neoadjuvant period) due to adverse reactions. Of the 326 placebo-treated patients who received surgery, 4% (n=16) experienced delay of surgery due to adverse reactions.

Of the 325 IMFINZI-treated patients who received surgery, 6.5% (n=21) did not receive adjuvant treatment due to adverse reactions. Of the 326 placebo-treated patients who received surgery, 5.8% (n=19) did not receive adjuvant treatment due to adverse reactions.

Adjuvant Phase of AEGEAN

A total of 265 patients in the IMFINZI arm and 254 patients in the placebo arm received at least 1 dose of adjuvant treatment.

Of the patients who received single agent IMFINZI as adjuvant treatment, 13% experienced serious adverse reactions. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in >1% of patients were pneumonia (1.9%), pneumonitis (1.1%), and COVID-19 (1.1%). Four fatal adverse reactions occurred during the adjuvant phase of the study, including COVID-19 pneumonia, pneumonia aspiration, interstitial lung disease and aortic aneurysm. Permanent discontinuation of adjuvant IMFINZI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 8% of patients. 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 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.

Metastatic NSCLC - POSEIDON

The safety of IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with metastatic NSCLC was evaluated in POSEIDON (NCT03164616), a randomized, open-label, multicenter, active-controlled trial. 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 trial 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%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in a total of 4.2% of patients receiving IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy. These include hepatitis, nephritis, myocarditis, pancreatitis (all in the same patient), death (2 patients), sepsis (2 patients), pneumonitis (2 patients), acute kidney injury (2 patients), febrile neutropenia (1 patient), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (1 patient), dyspnea (1 patient), sudden death (1 patient), and ischemic stroke (1 patient).

Permanent discontinuation of IMFINZI or tremelimumab-actl due to an adverse reaction occurred in 17% of the patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of IMFINZI or tremelimumab-actl in > 2% of patients included pneumonia.

Dosage interruption or delay of IMFINZI and tremelimumab-actl due to an adverse reaction occurred in 41% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption or delay of IMFINZI and tremelimumab-actl in > 1% of patients included anemia, leukopenia/white blood cell count decreased, pneumonia, pneumonitis, colitis, diarrhea, hepatitis, rash, asthenia, amylase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, lipase increased, neutropenia/ neutrophil count decreased, and thrombocytopenia/platelet count decreased.

The most common adverse reactions (occurring in ≥ 20% of patients) were nausea, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, decreased appetite, rash, and diarrhea. Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 10%) were neutropenia, anemia, leukopenia, lymphocytopenia, lipase increased, hyponatremia and thrombocytopenia.

Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer – CASPIAN

The safety of IMFINZI in combination with etoposide and either carboplatin or cisplatin in previously untreated ES-SCLC was evaluated in CASPIAN, a randomized, open-label, multicenter, active-controlled trial. A total of 265 patients received IMFINZI 1,500 mg in combination with chemotherapy every 3 weeks for 4 cycles followed by IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The trial excluded patients with active or prior autoimmune disease or with medical conditions that required systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. Among 265 patients receiving IMFINZI, 49% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 19% were exposed for 12 months or longer.

Among 266 patients receiving chemotherapy alone, 57% of the patients received 6 cycles of chemotherapy and 8% of the patients received prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) after chemotherapy.

IMFINZI was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 7% of the patients receiving IMFINZI plus chemotherapy. These include pneumonitis, hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, sepsis, diabetic ketoacidosis and pancytopenia (1 patient each). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 31% of patients receiving IMFINZI plus chemotherapy. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in at least 1% of patients were febrile neutropenia (4.5%), pneumonia (2.3%), anemia (1.9%), pancytopenia (1.5%), pneumonitis (1.1%) and COPD (1.1%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.9% of patients receiving IMFINZI plus chemotherapy. These include pancytopenia, sepsis, septic shock, pulmonary artery thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and hepatitis (1 patient each) and sudden death (2 patients). The most common adverse reactions (occurring in ≥ 20% of patients) were nausea, fatigue/asthenia and alopecia.

Locally Advanced or Metastatic BTC - TOPAZ-1

The safety of IMFINZI in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in locally advanced or metastatic BTC was evaluated in TOPAZ-1, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial. A total of 338 patients received IMFINZI 1,500 mg in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin every 3 weeks up to 8 cycles followed by IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders, HIV infection or other active infections, including tuberculosis or hepatitis C were ineligible [see Clinical Studies (14.3)].

IMFINZI was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 6% of the patients receiving IMFINZI plus chemotherapy. The most frequently reported events resulting in discontinuation were sepsis (3 patients) and ischemic stroke (2 patients). The remaining events were dispersed across system organ classes and reported in 1 patient each. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 47% of patients receiving IMFINZI plus chemotherapy. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in at least 2% of patients were cholangitis (7%), pyrexia (3.8%), anemia (3.6%), sepsis (3.3%) and acute kidney injury (2.4%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.6% of patients receiving IMFINZI plus chemotherapy. These include ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (4 patients), sepsis (2 patients) and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (2 patients). The most common adverse reactions (occurring in ≥ 20% of patients) were fatigue, nausea, constipation, decreased appetite, abdominal pain, rash and pyrexia. Table 11 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in patients treated with IMFINZI plus chemotherapy.

Patients received IMFINZI 1,500 mg administered as a single intravenous infusion in combination with tremelimumab-actl 300 mg on the same day, followed by IMFINZI every 4 weeks or sorafenib 400 mg given orally twice daily.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 41% of patients who received IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl. Serious adverse reactions in > 1% of patients included hemorrhage (6%), diarrhea (4%), sepsis (2.1%), pneumonia (2.1%), rash (1.5%), vomiting (1.3%), acute kidney injury (1.3%), and anemia (1.3%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 8% of patients who received IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl, including death (1%), hemorrhage intracranial (0.5%), cardiac arrest (0.5%), pneumonitis (0.5%), hepatic failure (0.5%), and immune-mediated hepatitis (0.5%). The most common adverse reactions (occurring in ≥ 20% of patients) were rash, diarrhea, fatigue, pruritus, musculoskeletal pain, and abdominal pain.

Permanent discontinuation of treatment regimen due to an adverse reaction occurred in 14% of patients; the most common adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation (≥ 1%) were hemorrhage (1.8%), diarrhea (1.5%), AST increased (1%), and hepatitis (1%).

Dosage interruptions or delay of the treatment regimen due to an adverse reaction occurred in 35% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption or delay in ≥ 1% of patients included ALT increased (3.6%), diarrhea (3.6%), rash (3.6%), amylase increased (3.4%), AST increased (3.1%), lipase increased (2.8%), pneumonia (1.5%), hepatitis (1.5%), pyrexia (1.5%), anemia (1.3%), thrombocytopenia (1%), hyperthyroidism (1%), pneumonitis (1%), and blood creatinine increased (1%).

Endometrial Cancer

Advanced or Recurrent dMMR Endometrial Cancer – DUO-E

The safety of IMFINZI in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by IMFINZI as a single agent was evaluated in 44 patients with dMMR advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer in DUO-E, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial [See Clinical Studies (14.5)]. Patients received IMFINZI 1,120 mg with carboplatin and paclitaxel every 3 weeks for up to six 21-day cycles followed by IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks or carboplatin and paclitaxel every 3 weeks for up to six 21-day cycles alone. Treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of exposure to IMFINZI with carboplatin and paclitaxel was 14.8 months (range: 0.7 to 31.7).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 30% of patients who received IMFINZI with carboplatin and paclitaxel. The most common serious adverse reactions (≥4%) were constipation (4.5%) and rash (4.5%).

Permanent discontinuation of IMFINZI due to adverse reactions occurred in 11% of patients. The adverse reaction which resulted in permanent discontinuation of IMFINZI (≥4%) was rash (4.5%).

Dosage interruptions of IMFINZI due to adverse reactions occurred in 52% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruptions of IMFINZI (≥4%) were anemia (11%), thrombocytopenia (9%), neutropenia (9%), COVID-19 (9%), increased ALT (4.5%), and pneumonitis (4.5%).

The most common adverse reactions (>20%), including laboratory abnormalities, were peripheral neuropathy, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, alopecia, fatigue, abdominal pain, constipation, rash, decreased magnesium, increased ALT, increased AST, diarrhea, vomiting, cough, decreased potassium, dyspnea, headache, increased alkaline phosphatase, and decreased appetite.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

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.

Of the 265 patients with ES-SCLC treated with IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy 101 (38%) patients were 65 years or older and 19 (7.2%) 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.

Of the 338 patients with BTC treated with IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy in the TOPAZ-1 study, 158 (47%) patients were 65 years or older and 38 (11%) patients were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of IMFINZI have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.

Of the 393 patients with uHCC treated with IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl, 50% of patients were 65 years of age or older and 13% of patients were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of IMFINZI have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.

Of the 235 patients with endometrial cancer treated with IMFINZI with carboplatin and paclitaxel, 49% of patients were 65 years of age or older and 12% of patients were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of IMFINZI have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.

11 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.

12 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 Cmax 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.

During the 10 to 48 week treatment period across PACIFIC, CASPIAN, TOPAZ-1, HIMALAYA, POSEIDON, DUO-E, AEGEAN and other clinical trials, in patients who received IMFINZI 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, 3.2% (151/4668) of evaluable patients tested positive for anti-durvalumab antibodies, and 19.2% (29/151) of 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.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, 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.

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology

In animal models, inhibition of PD-L1/PD-1 signaling increased the severity of some infections and enhanced inflammatory responses. Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected PD-1 knockout mice exhibit markedly decreased survival compared with wild-type controls, which correlated with increased bacterial proliferation and inflammatory responses in these animals. PD-1 blockade using a primate anti-PD-1 antibody was also shown to exacerbate M. tuberculosis infection in rhesus macaques. PD-L1 and PD-1 knockout mice and mice receiving PD-L1 blocking antibody have also shown decreased survival following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

14.1 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Treatment of Resectable NSCLC – AEGEAN Study

The efficacy of IMFINZI in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by surgery and continued adjuvant treatment with IMFINZI as a single agent was investigated in AEGEAN (NCT03800134), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial conducted in 802 patients with previously untreated and resectable squamous or non-squamous NSCLC (Stage IIA to select Stage IIIB [AJCC, 8th edition]). Patients were enrolled regardless of tumor PD-L1 expression. Eligible patients had no prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy, a WHO/ECOG Performance status of 0 or 1, and at least one RECIST 1.1 target lesion.

Patients with active or prior documented autoimmune disease, or use of any immunosuppressive medication within 14 days of the first dose of IMFINZI were ineligible. The population for efficacy analyses was a modified intent-to-treat [mITT] which excluded patients with known EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangements.

Crossover between the study arms was not permitted. Randomization was stratified by disease stage (Stage II vs. Stage III) and by PD-L1 expression (TC < 1% vs. TC ≥ 1%) status. Patients were randomized 1:1 to one of the following treatment arms:

Arm 1: Neoadjuvant IMFINZI 1500 mg once every 3 weeks for up to 4 cycles in combination with:
 
Squamous tumor histology: carboplatin AUC 6 and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 on Day1 of each 3-week cycle, OR cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on Day 1 and gemcitabine 1250 mg/m2 on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 3-week cycle, for 4 cycles
 
Non-squamous tumor histology: pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle, for 4 cycles OR pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC 5 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle, for 4 cycles.
 
Followed by adjuvant IMFINZI 1500 mg as a single agent for up to 12 cycles post-surgery.
Arm 2: Neoadjuvant placebo in combination with 4 cycles of chemotherapy (see above) prior to surgery.
 
Followed by placebo for up to 12 cycles post-surgery.

All study medications were administered via intravenous infusion. In the event of unfavorable tolerability, patients who met the eligibility criteria were switched from cisplatin to carboplatin therapy at any point during the study. In patients with comorbidities or unable to tolerate cisplatin as per Investigators judgment, carboplatin AUC 5 could be administered from cycle 1. Treatment with IMFINZI or placebo continued until completion of the treatment, disease progression that precluded definitive surgery, inability to complete definitive surgery, disease recurrence in the adjuvant phase, or unacceptable toxicity. A RECIST 1.1 tumor assessment was performed at baseline, and upon completion of the neoadjuvant period (prior to surgery). Tumor assessments were conducted at 5 weeks postoperatively, prior to the start of adjuvant therapy and every 12 weeks until week 48, every 24 weeks for approximately 4 years, and then every 48 weeks thereafter until disease progression, consent withdrawal, or death.

The trial was not designed to isolate the effect of IMFINZI in each phase (neoadjuvant or adjuvant) of treatment.

The major efficacy outcome measures of the study were pathological complete response (pCR) by blinded central pathology review and event-free survival (EFS) by blinded independent central review (BICR) assessment. Additional efficacy outcome measures were major pathological response (MPR) by blinded central pathology review, DFS by BICR, and OS.

The demographics and baseline disease characteristics were as follows: male (72%); median age 65 years (range: 30 to 88); age ≥ 65 years (52%); WHO/ECOG PS 0 (68%), WHO/ECOG PS 1 (32); White (54%), Asian (41%), Black or African American (0.9%), American Indian or Alaska Native (1.4%), Other Race (2.6%); Not Hispanic or Latino (84%); current or past smokers (86%); squamous histology (49%) and non-squamous histology (51%); Stage II (28%), Stage III (71%); PD-L1 expression status TC ≥ 1% (67%), PD-L1 expression status TC < 1% (33%).

In the mITT population, 78% of patients in Arm 1 completed definitive surgery compared to 77% of patients in Arm 2.

The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvements in EFS and pCR rate (see Table 19 and Figure 1) in the IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy arm compared to the placebo in combination with chemotherapy arm.

Unresectable Stage III NSCLC - PACIFIC

The efficacy of IMFINZI was evaluated in the PACIFIC study (NCT02125461), a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who completed at least 2 cycles of concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy and definitive radiation within 42 days prior to initiation of the study drug and had a WHO performance status of 0 or 1. The study excluded patients who had progressed following concurrent chemoradiation, patients with active or prior documented autoimmune disease within 2 years of initiation of the study or patients with medical conditions that required systemic immunosuppression. Randomization was stratified by sex, age (< 65 years vs. ≥ 65 years), and smoking history (smoker vs. non-smoker). Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive IMFINZI 10 mg/kg or placebo intravenously every 2 weeks for up to 12 months or until unacceptable toxicity or confirmed RECIST v1.1-defined progression. Assessment of tumor status was performed every 8 weeks. The major efficacy outcome measures were progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by a BICR RECIST v1.1, and overall survival (OS). Additional efficacy outcome measures included ORR and DoR assessed by BICR.

A total of 713 patients were randomized: 476 patients to the IMFINZI arm and 237 to the placebo arm. The study population characteristics were: median age of 64 years (range: 23 to 90); 70% male; 69% White and 27% Asian; 16% current smokers, 75% former smokers, and 9% never smokers; 51% WHO performance status of 1; 53% with Stage IIIA and 45% were Stage IIIB; 46% with squamous and 54% with non-squamous histology. All patients received definitive radiotherapy as per protocol, of which 92% received a total radiation dose of 54 Gy to 66 Gy; 99% of patients received concomitant platinum-based chemotherapy (55% cisplatin-based, 42% carboplatin-based chemotherapy, and 2% switched between cisplatin and carboplatin).

At a pre-specified interim analysis for OS based on 299 events (61% of total planned events), the study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS in patients randomized to IMFINZI compared to placebo. The pre-specified interim analysis of PFS based on 371 events (81% of total planned events) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS in patients randomized to IMFINZI compared to placebo. Table 20 and Figure 2 summarizes the efficacy results for PACIFIC.

Metastatic NSCLC - POSEIDON

The efficacy of IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy in previously untreated metastatic NSCLC patients with no sensitizing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) genomic tumor aberrations was investigated in POSEIDON, a randomized, multicenter, active-controlled, open-label trial (NCT03164616). Eligible patients had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1 and must have had no prior chemotherapy or any other systemic therapy for metastatic NSCLC. Choice of platinum-based chemotherapy was at the investigator’s discretion, taking into consideration the calculated creatinine clearance. Patients with active and/or untreated brain metastases; a history of active primary immunodeficiency; autoimmune disorders including active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders; use of systemic immunosuppressants within 14 days before the first dose of the treatment except physiological dose of systemic corticosteroids were ineligible.

Randomization was stratified by tumor cells (TC) PD-L1 expression (TC ≥ 50% vs. TC < 50%), disease stage (Stage IVA vs. Stage IVB), and histology (non-squamous vs. squamous).

Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based chemotherapy according to the regimens listed below, IMFINZI and platinum-based chemotherapy (an unapproved regimen for metastatic NSCLC), or platinum-based chemotherapy. The evaluation of efficacy for metastatic NSCLC relied on comparison between:

IMFINZI 1,500 mg with tremelimumab-actl 75 mg (or 1 mg/kg for patients < 30 kg) and platinum-based chemotherapy every 3 weeks for 4 cycles, followed by IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks as a single agent. A fifth dose of tremelimumab-actl 75 mg (or 1 mg/kg for patients < 30 kg) was given at Week 16 in combination with IMFINZI dose 6.
Platinum-based chemotherapy every 3 weeks as monotherapy for 4 cycles. Patients could receive an additional 2 cycles (a total of 6 cycles post-randomization), as clinically indicated, at investigator’s discretion.

Patients received IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl with one of the following platinum-based chemotherapy regimens:

Non-squamous NSCLC
Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 with carboplatin AUC 5-6 or cisplatin 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 4 cycles.
Squamous NSCLC
Gemcitabine 1,000 or 1,250 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 with cisplatin 75 mg/m2 or carboplatin AUC 5-6 on Day 1 every 3 weeks for 4 cycles.
Non-squamous and Squamous NSCLC
Nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8, and 15 with carboplatin AUC 5-6 on Day 1 every 3 weeks for 4 cycles.

Tremelimumab-actl was given up to a maximum of 5 doses. IMFINZI and histology-based pemetrexed continued every 4 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Administration of IMFINZI monotherapy was permitted beyond disease progression if the patient was clinically stable and deriving clinical benefit as determined by the investigator. Patients with disease progression during IMFINZI monotherapy were given the option to be retreated with 4 additional cycles of tremelimumab-actl in combination with IMFINZI. Tumor assessments were performed at Week 6, Week 12, and then every 8 weeks thereafter.

The major efficacy outcome measures were progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of IMFINZI and tremelimumab-actl in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy compared to platinum-based chemotherapy alone. Additional efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR). PFS, ORR, and DoR were assessed using Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) according to RECIST v1.1.

A total of 675 patients were randomized to receive either IMFINZI with tremelimumab-actl and platinum-based-chemotherapy (n = 338) or platinum-based chemotherapy (n = 337). The median age was 63 years (range: 27 to 87), 46% of patients age ≥ 65 years, 77% male, 57% White, 34% Asian, 0.3% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, 3% American Indian or Alaska Native, 2% Black or African American, 4% Other Race, 79% former or current smoker, 34% ECOG PS 0, and 66% ECOG PS 1. Thirty-six percent had squamous histology, 63% non-squamous histology, 29% PD-L1 expression TC ≥ 50%, 71% PD-L1 expression TC < 50%.

Efficacy results are summarized in Table 21 and Figure 3.

14.2 Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

Extensive-stage SCLC – CASPIAN

The efficacy of IMFINZI in combination with etoposide and either carboplatin or cisplatin in previously untreated ES-SCLC was investigated in CASPIAN, a randomized, multicenter, active-controlled, open-label trial (NCT03043872). Eligible patients had WHO Performance Status of 0 or 1 and were suitable to receive a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen as first-line treatment for SCLC. Patients with asymptomatic or treated brain metastases were eligible. Choice of platinum agent was at the investigator’s discretion, taking into consideration the calculated creatinine clearance. Patients with history of chest radiation therapy; a history of active primary immunodeficiency; autoimmune disorders including paraneoplastic syndrome; active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders; use of systemic immunosuppressants within 14 days before the first dose of the treatment except physiological dose of systemic corticosteroids were ineligible.

Randomization was stratified by the planned platinum-based therapy in cycle 1 (carboplatin or cisplatin).

The evaluation of efficacy for ES-SCLC relied on comparison between:

IMFINZI 1,500 mg, and investigator’s choice of carboplatin (AUC 5 or 6 mg/mL/min) or cisplatin (75-80 mg/m2) on Day 1 and etoposide (80-100 mg/m2) intravenously on Days 1, 2, and 3 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles, followed by IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or

Investigator’s choice of carboplatin (AUC 5 or 6 mg/mL/min) or cisplatin (75-80 mg/m2) on Day 1 and etoposide (80-100 mg/m2) intravenously on Days 1, 2, and 3 of each 21-day cycle, up to 6 cycles. After completion of chemotherapy, PCI as administered per investigator discretion.

Administration of IMFINZI as a single agent was permitted beyond disease progression if the patient was clinically stable and deriving clinical benefit as determined by the investigator.

The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS) of IMFINZI plus chemotherapy vs. chemotherapy alone. Additional efficacy outcome measures were investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR), per RECIST v1.1.

The study population characteristics were: median age of 63 years (range: 28 to 82); 40% age 65 or older; 70% male; 84% White, 15% Asian, and 0.9% Black; 65% WHO/ECOG PS of 1; and 93% were former/current smokers. Ninety percent of patients had Stage IV disease and 10% had brain metastasis at baseline. A total of 25% of the patients received cisplatin and 74% of the patients received carboplatin. In the chemotherapy alone arm, 57% of the patients received 6 cycles of chemotherapy, and 8% of the patients received PCI.

The OS results are summarized in Table 22 and Figure 4.

Table 22. OS Result for the CASPIAN Study
*
At a pre-specified interim analysis, 336 OS events (79% of total planned events) were observed, and the boundary for declaring efficacy (0.0178) was determined by a Lan-Demets alpha spending function with O’Brien Fleming type boundary.
The analysis was performed using the stratified log-rank test, adjusting for planned platinum therapy in Cycle 1 (carboplatin or cisplatin) and using the rank tests of association approach.

Investigator-assessed PFS (96% of total planned events) showed a HR of 0.78 (95% CI: 0.65, 0.94), with median PFS of 5.1 months (95% CI: 4.7, 6.2) in the IMFINZI plus chemotherapy arm and 5.4 months (95% CI: 4.8, 6.2) in the chemotherapy alone arm. The investigator-assessed confirmed ORR was 68% (95% CI: 62%, 73%) in the IMFINZI plus chemotherapy arm and 58% (95% CI: 52%, 63%) in the chemotherapy alone arm.

In the exploratory subgroup analyses of OS based on the planned platinum chemotherapy received at cycle 1, the HR was 0.70 (95% CI 0.55, 0.89) in patients who received carboplatin, and the HR was 0.88 (95% CI 0.55, 1.41) in patients who received cisplatin.

14.3 Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC)

Locally Advanced or Metastatic BTC - TOPAZ-1

The efficacy of IMFINZI in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic BTC was investigated in TOPAZ-1 (NCT03875235), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial that enrolled 685 patients with histologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or metastatic BTC who have not previously received systemic therapy. Patients with recurrent disease > 6 months after surgery and/or completion of adjuvant therapy were eligible. Patients had an ECOG Performance status of 0 and 1 and at least one target lesion by RECIST 1.1. Patients with ampullary carcinoma; active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders; HIV infection or active infections, including tuberculosis or hepatitis C; current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of IMFINZI were ineligible.

Randomization was stratified by disease status (recurrent vs. initially unresectable) and primary tumor location (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ICCA] vs. extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ECCA] vs. gallbladder cancer [GBC]). Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive:

IMFINZI 1,500 mg on Day 1+ gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 and cisplatin 25 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle up to 8 cycles, followed by IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks, or
Placebo on Day 1+ gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 and cisplatin 25 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle up to 8 cycles, followed by placebo every 4 weeks.

Treatment with IMFINZI or placebo continued until disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment beyond disease progression was permitted if the patient was clinically stable and deriving clinical benefit as determined by the investigator.

The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS). Additional efficacy outcome measures were investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR). Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 24 weeks after the date of randomization, and then every 8 weeks until confirmed objective disease progression.

The study population characteristics were: 50% male, median age of 64 years (range 20-85), 47% age 65 or older; 56% Asian, 37% White, 2% Black or African American, 0.1% American Indian or Alaskan Native, and 4% other; 51% had an ECOG PS of 1; primary tumor location was ICCA 56%, ECCA 18% and GBC 25%; 20% of patients had recurrent disease; 86% of patients had metastatic and 14% had locally advanced disease.

At a pre-specified interim analysis, the trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS and PFS in patients randomized to IMFINZI in combination with chemotherapy compared to placebo in combination with chemotherapy. Table 23 summarizes the efficacy results for TOPAZ-1.

14.4 Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Unresectable HCC - HIMALAYA

The efficacy of IMFINZI in combination with tremelimumab-actl was evaluated in the HIMALAYA study (NCT03298451), a randomized (1:1:1), open-label, multicenter study in patients with confirmed uHCC who had not received prior systemic treatment for HCC. Patients were randomized to one of two investigational arms (IMFINZI plus trememlimumab-actl or IMFINZI) or sorafenib. Study treatment consisted of IMFINZI 1,500 mg in combination with tremelimumab-actl as a one-time single intravenous infusion of 300 mg on the same day, followed by IMFINZI every 4 weeks; IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks; or sorafenib 400 mg given orally twice daily, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The efficacy assessment of IMFINZI is based on patients randomized to the IMFINZI plus tremelimumab-actl arm versus the sorafenib arm. Randomization was stratified by macrovascular invasion (MVI) (yes or no), etiology of liver disease (hepatitis B virus vs. hepatitis C virus vs. others) and ECOG performance status (0 vs. 1).

The study enrolled patients with BCLC Stage C or B (not eligible for locoregional therapy). The study excluded patients with co-infection of viral hepatitis B and hepatitis C; active or prior documented gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding within 12 months; ascites requiring non-pharmacologic intervention within 6 months; hepatic encephalopathy within 12 months before the start of treatment; active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was not mandated prior to enrollment but adequate endoscopic therapy, according to institutional standards, was required for patients with history of esophageal variceal bleeding or those assessed as high risk for esophageal variceal bleeding by the treating physician.

Study treatment was permitted beyond disease progression if the patient was clinically stable and deriving clinical benefit as determined by the investigator.

The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS) between the IMFINZI plus tremelimumab-actl arm versus the sorafenib arm. Additional efficacy outcomes were investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR) according to RECIST v1.1. Tumor assessments were conducted every 8 weeks for the first 12 months and then every 12 weeks thereafter.

The baseline demographics of the IMFINZI plus tremelimumab-actl and sorafenib arms were as follows: male (85%), age < 65 years (50%), median age of 65 years (range: 18 to 88 years), White (46%), Asian (49%), Black or African American (2%), Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander (0.1%), race Unknown (2%), Hispanic or Latino (5%), Not Hispanic or Latino (94%), ethnicity Unknown (1%), ECOG PS 0 (62%); Child-Pugh Class score A (99%), macrovascular invasion (26%), extrahepatic spread (53%), viral etiology; hepatitis B (31%), hepatitis C (27%), and uninfected (42%).

14.5 Endometrial cancer

Advanced or Recurrent dMMR Endometrial Cancer - DUO-E

IMFINZI was evaluated in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in DUO-E (NCT04269200), a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. The trial enrolled patients with newly diagnosed Stage III disease (with measurable disease per RECIST v1.1), or newly diagnosed Stage IV disease. The trial also enrolled patients with recurrent disease with a low potential for cure by radiation therapy or surgery. For patients with recurrent disease, prior chemotherapy was allowed only if it was administered in the adjuvant setting and at least 12 months had elapsed from the date of last dose of chemotherapy to the date of relapse. The trial included patients with epithelial endometrial carcinomas of all histologies, including carcinosarcomas. Patients with endometrial sarcoma were excluded, and patients who had active autoimmune disease or a medical condition that required immunosuppression were ineligible.

Randomization was stratified by tumor mismatch repair (MMR) status (proficient or deficient), disease status (recurrent or newly diagnosed), and geographic region (Asia or rest of the world). MMR status was assessed using an immunohistochemistry tumor tissue test.

Patients were randomized (1:1:1) to one of the following treatment arms:

IMFINZI 1,120 mg in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles. Following completion of chemotherapy treatment, patients received IMFINZI 1,500 mg every 4 weeks as maintenance treatment until disease progression.
Placebo in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles. Following completion of chemotherapy treatment, patients received placebo every 4 weeks as maintenance treatment until disease progression.
An additional investigational combination regimen.

Treatment was continued until Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1-defined progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity. Assessment of tumor status was performed every 9 weeks for the first 18 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter.

The major efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS), determined by investigator assessment using RECIST 1.1. Additional efficacy outcome measures included overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR) and overall survival (OS).

Among 95 patients with dMMR tumor, the baseline characteristics were median age of 63 years (range: 34 to 85); 47% age 65 or older; 62% White, 31% Asian, 2% Black or African American; 7% Hispanic or Latino, 1% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 4% other or not reported; ECOG PS of 0 (55%) or 1 (45%); 48% newly diagnosed (11% Stage III and 38% Stage IV) and 52% recurrent disease. The histologic subtypes were endometrioid (78%), mixed epithelial (6%), carcinosarcoma (5%), serous (4%), undifferentiated (1%), and other (5%).

While a statistically significant improvement in PFS was observed in the overall population for IMFINZI with carboplatin and paclitaxel compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel alone, based on an exploratory analysis by MMR status, the PFS improvement in the overall population was primarily attributed to patients with dMMR tumors.

Efficacy results for DUO-E are summarized in Table 25 and Figure 7 for patients with dMMR tumors. OS data in this subpopulation at the time of PFS analysis were immature with 26% of patients who died.

MEDICATION GUIDE

IMFINZI® (im-FIN-zee)

(durvalumab)

injection

What is the most important information I should know about IMFINZI?

IMFINZI is a medicine that may treat certain cancers by working with your immune system.

IMFINZI can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in any area of your body and can affect the way they work. These problems can sometimes become severe or life-threatening and can lead to death. You can have more than one of these problems at the same time. These problems may happen anytime during treatment or even after your treatment has ended.

 
Call or see your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worsening signs or symptoms, including:
Lung problems.
Intestinal problems. 
Liver problems.
Hormone gland problems.
Kidney problems.
Skin problems. 
Pancreas problems
Problems can also happen in other organs and tissues. These are not all of the signs and symptoms of immune system problems that can happen with IMFINZI.Call or see your healthcare provider right away for any new or worsening signs or symptoms, which may include:
o
chest pain, irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath or swelling of ankles
o
confusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems
o
tingling, numbness or weakness of the arms or legs
o
double vision, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain, changes in eye-sight
o
persistent or severe muscle pain or weakness, muscle cramps, joint pain, joint stiffness or swelling
o
low red blood cells, bruising
Infusion reactions that can sometimes be severe or life-threatening. Signs and symptoms of infusion reactions may include:
Complications, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), in people who have received a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic).

These complications can be serious and can lead to death. These complications may happen if you underwent transplantation either before or after being treated with IMFINZI. Your healthcare provider will monitor you for these complications.

Getting medical treatment right away may help keep these problems from becoming more serious.
Your healthcare provider will check you for these problems during your treatment with IMFINZI. Your healthcare provider may treat you with corticosteroid or hormone replacement medicines. Your healthcare provider may also need to delay or completely stop treatment with IMFINZI, if you have severe side effects.

What is IMFINZI?

IMFINZI is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with:

a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
IMFINZI may be used in combination with chemotherapy that contans platinum prior to surgery and alone after surgery when your NSCLC:
can be removed by surgery, and
is not known to have an abnormal “EGFR” or “ALK” gene.
IMFINZI may be used alone when your NSCLC:
has not spread outside your chest
cannot be removed by surgery, and
has responded or stabilized with initial treatment with chemotherapy that contains platinum, given at the same time as radiation therapy.
IMFINZI may be used in combination with tremelimumab-actl and chemotherapy that contains platinum when your NSCLC:
has spread to other parts of your body (metastatic), and
does not have an abnormal “EGFR” or “ALK” gene.
a type of lung cancer called small cell lung cancer (SCLC). IMFINZI may be used with the chemotherapy medicines etoposide and carboplatin or cisplatin as your first treatment when your SCLC:
has spread within your lungs or to other parts of the body, (extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, or ES-SCLC).
a type of cancer called biliary tract cancer (BTC), including cancer of the bile ducts (cholangiocarcinoma) and gallbladder cancer.IMFINZI may be used in combination with chemotherapy medicines gemcitabine and cisplatin when your BTC:
has spread to nearby tissues (locally advanced), or
has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).
a type of liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma or uHCC). IMFINZI is used in combination with tremelimumab-actl to treat uHCC.
a type of uterine cancer called endometrial cancer. IMFINZI may be used in combination with chemotherapy medicines carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by IMFINZI alone when your endometrial cancer:
has spread (advanced) or has come back (recurrent), and
a laboratory test shows that your tumor is mismatch repair deficient (dMMR).

It is not known if IMFINZI is safe and effective in children.
