Doctors use a process called staging to assess the size of your cancer, where it’s located, and whether it’s spread to other parts of the body. Knowing the stage helps different specialists on your care team work together to find a treatment plan that’s right for you.

Ask your care team about your options

  • My doctor told me surgery
    is an option
    My doctor told me surgery
    is an option

    Even when surgery is an option, you may also be treated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery, then immunotherapy alone after. A medical oncologist can partner with your surgeon to choose a treatment plan. They can also let you know how long you'll be on treatment.

    If surgery isn’t an option, your care team may use a combination of treatments to fight your cancer, including chemoradiation therapy (CRT) then immunotherapy. In fact, IMFINZI is the
    #1 prescribed immunotherapy*     following chemoradiation therapy for Stage 3 NSCLC that can't be removed by surgery.

  • What if my cancer has spread?
    What if my cancer
    has spread?

    During the staging process, your doctors will check to see whether your cancer has spread from where it started. If it has spread to other parts of the body, your care team may use more than one immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy.

Not sure if surgery is an option?

Your doctor may recommend surgery based on the size of your cancer and if it has spread. Ask your care team whether you need any tests to find out if surgery is an option for you.

Important Safety Information

What is the most important information I should know about IMFINZI® (durvalumab) and IMJUDO® (tremelimumab-actl)?

IMFINZI and IMJUDO are medicines that may treat certain cancers by working with your immune system. IMFINZI and IMJUDO 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.

What are IMFINZI and IMJUDO?

IMFINZI and IMJUDO are prescription medications that may treat certain cancers.

IMFINZI is used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer called NSCLC.

  • 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 chemotherapy that contains platinum prior to surgery and alone after surgery when your NSCLC is able to be removed by surgery, and your tumor does not have an abnormal “EGFR” or “ALK” gene.
  • IMFINZI may be used in combination with IMJUDO and chemotherapy that contains platinum when your NSCLC has spread to other parts of your body (metastatic) and your tumor does not have an abnormal “EGFR” or “ALK” gene.

IMFINZI is used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer called 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).

IMFINZI is used to treat adults with a type of cancer called 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).

IMFINZI is used in combination with IMJUDO to treat adults with a type of liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma or uHCC).

IMFINZI is used in combination with the chemotherapy medicines carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by IMFINZI alone to treat a type of uterine cancer called endometrial cancer that has spread (advanced) or has come back (recurred) and a laboratory test shows that your tumor is mismatch repair deficient (dMMR).

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

Call or see your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worsening signs or symptoms, including:

FPO

  • Lung problems: cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain

  • Intestinal problems: diarrhea (loose stools) or more frequent bowel movements than usual; stools that are black, tarry, sticky, or have blood or mucus; and severe stomach-area (abdomen) pain or tenderness

  • Liver problems: yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes, severe nausea or vomiting, pain on the right side of your stomach area (abdomen), dark urine (tea colored), and bleeding or bruising more easily than normal

  • Hormone gland problems: headaches that will not go away or unusual headaches; eye sensitivity to light; eye problems; rapid heartbeat; increased sweating; extreme tiredness; weight gain or weight loss; feeling more hungry or thirsty than usual; urinating more often than usual; hair loss; feeling cold; constipation; your voice gets deeper; dizziness or fainting; and changes in mood or behavior, such as decreased sex drive, irritability, or forgetfulness

  • Kidney problems: decrease in your amount of urine, blood in your urine, swelling of your ankles, and loss of appetite

  • Skin problems: rash; itching; skin blistering or peeling; painful sores or ulcers in mouth or nose, throat, or genital area; fever or flu-like symptoms; and swollen lymph nodes

  • Pancreas problems: pain in your upper stomach area (abdomen), severe nausea or vomiting, and loss of appetite

  • 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 and IMJUDO. Call or see your healthcare provider right away for any new or worsening signs or symptoms, which may include: Chest pain, irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath or swelling of ankles; confusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems; tingling, numbness or weakness of the arms or legs; double vision, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain, changes in eye sight; persistent or severe muscle pain or weakness, muscle cramps, joint pain, joint stiffness or swelling; and low red blood cells and bruising

  • Infusion reactions that can sometimes be severe or life-threatening. Signs and symptoms of infusion reactions may include: chills or shaking, itching or rash, flushing, shortness of breath or wheezing, dizziness, feel like passing out, fever, and back or neck pain

  • 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 and IMJUDO. 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 and IMJUDO if you have severe side effects

FPO

Before you receive IMFINZI and IMJUDO, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  • have immune system problems such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or lupus
  • have received an organ transplant
  • have received or plan to receive a stem cell transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic)
  • have received radiation treatment to your chest area
  • have a condition that affects your nervous system, such as myasthenia gravis or Guillain-Barré syndrome
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. IMFINZI and IMJUDO can harm your unborn baby

    • Females who are able to become pregnant:

    • Your healthcare provider will give you a pregnancy test before you start treatment with IMFINZI and IMJUDO.
    • You should use an effective method of birth control during your treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of IMFINZI and IMJUDO. Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control methods that you can use during this time.
