Clinical Benefit

Substantial

The clinical benefit of IMFINZI (durvalumab) 50 mg/mL concentrate for solution for infusion is substantial in the MA indication.


Clinical Added Value

minor

Considering:

  • demonstration of the superiority of durvalumab combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin compared to the gemcitabine and cisplatin combination alone, in a randomised, double-blind study, in terms of overall survival (OS, primary endpoint) and progression-free survival (PFS, ranked secondary endpoint),
  • the effect size deemed to be modest but significant, with an absolute difference for median OS of 1.3 months, with an HR= 0.80; CI97% [0.64; 0.99]),
  • the lack of formal conclusions that can be drawn from the exploratory results of the secondary endpoints, including quality of life,
  • a safety profile deemed to be acceptable,
  • the medical need partially met by the available alternatives and the evolution of guidelines for the management of advanced biliary tract cancer,

the Committee deems that IMFINZI (durvalumab) 50 mg/mL concentrate for solution for infusion provides a minor clinical added value (CAV IV) compared to gemcitabine + cisplatin chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic biliary tract cancer (BTC).
