Durvalumab is a monoclonal antibody being investigated for the treatment of cancer. It targets programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1).

This drug was developed by MedImmune.

Clinical trials

A phase 1B clinical trial of durvalumab and tremelimumab showed some activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Phase 1 data in advanced metastatic urothelial bladder (Study 1108) has led to FDA breakthrough therapy designation.

Early results of a phase I trial combining durvalumab and gefitinib in lung cancer patients "showed promise".
