Overview
Imfinzi 120mg/2.4ml Injection contains durvalumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (a PD-L1-blocking monoclonal antibody) given by intravenous infusion under oncology specialist supervision to treat certain cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, biliary tract cancer, and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), often alongside chemotherapy or another immunotherapy.
It works by blocking PD-L1, a protein some cancer cells use to hide from the immune system. By blocking this “cloaking” signal, durvalumab helps the patient’s own immune T-cells recognise and attack the cancer cells.
How it Works
Imfinzi binds to PD-L1 on tumour cells and blocks its interaction with the PD-1 receptor on T-cells. Normally this interaction switches T-cells off; by blocking it, durvalumab keeps T-cells active so they can recognise and destroy cancer cells.
Directions for Use
This medicine is prepared and administered only by trained healthcare professionals as an IV infusion, typically over about an hour, with monitoring for infusion-related reactions during and after each session.
Dosage
Dosing is determined by the treating oncologist based on body weight, the cancer being treated, and the specific regimen (alone or combined with chemotherapy or other immunotherapy), then given as a timed intravenous infusion in a hospital or specialist infusion setting.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging; this medicine is stored and handled only by healthcare facilities.
Storage Instructions
Stored under controlled, refrigerated conditions by the pharmacy or hospital as specified by the manufacturer; not intended for home storage.
Side Effects
- Fatigue
- Cough and upper respiratory symptoms
- Diarrhoea or colitis (bowel inflammation)
- Rash or itching
- Immune-related inflammation of organs such as the lungs (pneumonitis), liver (hepatitis), thyroid, or adrenal glands – these can occur at any time during or after treatment
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to durvalumab or any ingredient in the formulation
- Active, uncontrolled autoimmune disease, unless specifically assessed and approved by the oncology team
Drug / Food Interactions
- Corticosteroids and other immunosuppressants may reduce the effectiveness of durvalumab if used routinely, though they are sometimes needed to manage immune-related side effects under specialist guidance.
- Live vaccines are generally avoided during treatment – discuss any vaccination plans with your oncology team.
- Inform your oncology team of all medicines and supplements you are taking, and of any autoimmune conditions.
Quick Tips
- Contact your care team immediately if you develop persistent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, new breathlessness or cough, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual fatigue, as these can signal immune-related inflammation needing prompt treatment.
- Carry a note or card indicating you are receiving immunotherapy, in case of emergency care elsewhere.
- Attend all scheduled monitoring visits and blood tests, even between infusions.
- Report any new symptom to your oncology team rather than waiting for your next scheduled visit, as immune-related side effects can appear at unpredictable times.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Imfinzi 120mg/2.4ml used for?
It is an immunotherapy medicine used to treat certain lung, biliary tract, and liver cancers, as decided by an oncology specialist.
How is immunotherapy different from chemotherapy?
Immunotherapy works by helping your own immune system recognise and attack cancer cells, rather than directly killing rapidly dividing cells the way chemotherapy does.
What are immune-related side effects?
Because this medicine activates the immune system, it can sometimes cause inflammation in healthy organs such as the lungs, liver, gut, or hormone glands – these need prompt medical attention if they occur.
What symptoms should make me contact my care team urgently?
Persistent diarrhoea, new breathlessness or cough, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual fatigue should be reported immediately.
Is this medicine given as a tablet?
No, it is given only as an intravenous infusion administered by healthcare professionals in a hospital or specialist infusion setting.
Can I receive vaccinations while on this treatment?
Live vaccines are generally avoided during treatment; discuss any vaccination needs with your oncology team before proceeding.
Will I need steroids during treatment?
Steroids are not routinely given but may be used if you develop an immune-related side effect – this is decided and supervised by your oncology team.
