About this active substance

Durvalumab is a monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of certain types of cancer, including small cell lung cancer and advanced urothelial carcinoma. It works by blocking the PD-L1 protein, allowing the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells.

The medication is administered intravenously, as directed by a doctor, and requires careful monitoring for adverse effects.

Side effects may include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, skin rash, or injection site reactions. In rare cases, severe immune-related reactions such as pneumonitis or hepatitis may occur.

Durvalumab is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to this medication or severe autoimmune conditions.
