1. What is IMJUDO and what is it used for

IMJUDO is a cancer medicine. It contains the active substance tremelimumab, which is a type of medicine called a monoclonal antibody. This medicine has been designed to recognize a specific target in the body. IMJUDO helps your immune system fight cancer.

IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab is used to treat a type of liver cancer called advanced or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is used when your HCC:

  • cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), and
  • may have spread within your liver or to other parts of your body.

IMJUDO is used to treat a type of lung cancer called advanced non-small cell lung cancer in adults. It will be used in combination with other cancer medicines (durvalumab and chemotherapy).
