A Phase I Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Subcutaneous Durvalumab

The purpose of the study is to determine a subcutaneous (SC: under the skin) durvalumab + recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHu) dose that yields systemic drug exposure similar to intravenous (IV: into the veins) durvalumab administration and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of SC durvalumab + rHu injection in participants with different types of solid tumours (cancers).

Key information

About this study

This is a Phase I, multicentre study that will consist of 2 parts -

  • Part 1: Dose Escalation
  • Part 2: Dose Expansion

Part 1 may include participants with solid tumours - non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). It will further consist of 2 planned dose levels of SC durvalumab - Dose level 1 (DL1) and Dose level 2 (DL2).

Part 2 will include participants with unresectable HCC. It will be initiated once a dose has been identified based on Part 1.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

    To characterise the AUClast of SC durvalumab.

  2. Maximum observed concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: From first dose of study intervention (Day 1), at predefined intervals throughout the administration of durvalumab (approximately 17 months).

    To characterise the Cmax of SC durvalumab.

  3. Time to reach maximum concentration following drug administration (tmax)

    Time frame: From first dose of study intervention (Day 1), at predefined intervals throughout the administration of durvalumab (approximately 17 months).

  4. Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2λz)

    Time frame: From first dose of study intervention (Day 1), at predefined intervals throughout the administration of durvalumab (approximately 17 months).

    To characterise the t1/2λz of SC durvalumab.

  5. Total body clearance/apparent total body clearance (CL[/F])

    Time frame: From first dose of study intervention (Day 1), at predefined intervals throughout the administration of durvalumab (approximately 17 months).
