DOSING

What is the dosing regimen for IMFINZI + IMJUDO in uHCC?

In unresectable HCC, the STRIDE Regimen is the ONLY systemic therapy that starts with ONLY 1 dose of a CTLA-4 inhibitor (IMJUDO) with a Q4W PD-L1 inhibitor (IMFINZI)1,2

The STRIDE Regimen (Single Tremelimumab Regular Interval Durvalumab) is a single priming dose of IMJUDO 300 mg followed by IMFINZI 1500 mg on Day 1 of Cycle 1; continue IMFINZI 1500 mg as a single agent every 4 weeks.1-3

What do I need to know to modify IMFINZI + IMJUDO treatment in case of adverse reactions?

No dose reduction for IMFINZI or IMJUDO is recommended. Withholding or permanently discontinuing the treatment regimen due to ARs may be required1,2

  • Withhold the treatment regimen for severe (Grade 3) immune-mediated adverse events
  • Permanently discontinue the treatment regimen for life-threatening (Grade 4) imARs
  • Permanently discontinue the treatment regimen for recurrent severe (Grade 3) imARs that require systemic immunosuppressive treatment, or an inability to reduce corticosteroid dose to ≤10 mg prednisone or equivalent per day within 12 weeks of initiating corticosteroids

TREATMENT MODIFICATIONS FOR ADVERSE REACTIONS1,2

*Based on NCI CTCAE, version 4.03.

Resume in patients with complete or partial resolution (Grade 0 to 1) after corticosteroid taper. Permanently discontinue if no complete or partial resolution within 12 weeks of initiating corticosteroids or an inability to reduce corticosteroid dose to 10 mg of prednisone or less per day (or equivalent) within 12 weeks of initiating corticosteroids.

Permanently discontinue IMFINZI for Grade 3 colitis when administered as part of tremelimumab-actl containing regimen.

§ If AST and ALT are less than or equal to ULN at baseline in patients with liver involvement, withhold or permanently discontinue IMFINZI based on recommendations for hepatitis with no liver involvement.

  • If the treatment regimen requires interruption or permanent discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 mg to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade ≤11,2
  • Upon improvement to Grade ≤1, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Resume treatment in patients after complete or partial resolution and taper1,2

Please see the IMFINZI and IMJUDO Prescribing Information for additional information regarding dosage modification and management specific to adverse reactions.

How are IMFINZI and IMJUDO infusion solutions stored?1,2

  • Neither IMFINZI nor IMJUDO contains a preservative
  • Administer infusion immediately once prepared. If infusion is not administered immediately and needs to be stored, see the following guidance for IMFINZI and IMJUDO
Icon of a thermometer with a low temperature
  • IMFINZI: Total time from preparation to the completion of administration should not exceed 28 days in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F)
  • IMJUDO: Total time from preparation to the start of administration should not exceed 24 hours in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F)
Icon of a thermometer with a high temperature
  • IMFINZI: Total time from preparation to the completion of administration should not exceed 8 hours at room temperature up to 25°C (77°F)
  • IMJUDO: Total time from preparation to the start of administration should not exceed 24 hours at room temperature up to 30°C (86°F)

How are IMFINZI and IMJUDO administered?1,2

Icon of a stopwatch
  • Administer infusion solution intravenously over 60 minutes through an IV line containing a sterile, low-protein binding 0.2 or 0.22 micron in-line filter
  • IMFINZI and IMJUDO are administered as separate IV infusions. IMFINZI and IMJUDO are each given over 60 minutes
Icon of 2 IV bags, crossed out
  • Observe patients for 60 minutes following completion of IMJUDO infusion. Then administer IMFINZI as a separate IV infusion over 60 minutes on the same day
  • Use separate infusion bags and filters for each infusion
  • Do not co-administer other drugs through the same infusion line

What are the dosage forms and strengths of IMFINZI and IMJUDO injections?1,2

    • A single priming dose of IMJUDO 300 mg followed by IMFINZI 1500 mg on Day 1 of Cycle 1
    • Continue IMFINZI 1500 mg as a single agent every 4 weeks
    • Patients with a body weight of <30 kg must receive weight-based dosing, equivalent to IMJUDO 4 mg/kg and IMFINZI 20 mg/kg until body weight is ≥30 kg1-3
  • ONLY the STRIDE Regimen is FDA approved with 1 DOSE of anti–CTLA-4 therapy1,2

  • No EGD required to initiate therapy in the HIMALAYA study1-3*

*

No EGD was required to screen for esophageal varices for trial eligibility. Patients with active or prior documented GI bleeding within 12 months were excluded. For patients with a history of GI bleeding for greater than 12 months or assessed as high risk for esophageal variceal, adequate endoscopic therapy was required.1-3
