Subcutaneous durvalumab plus hyaluronidase dose-finding and safety for solid tumors

Official title: A Phase I, Multicentre, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Subcutaneous Durvalumab in Adult Participants With Solid Tumours

Run by AstraZeneca · NCT07391670 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study will test whether a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection of durvalumab with hyaluronidase gives similar blood levels and is safe for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including unresectable liver cancer and specific forms of lung cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with certain advanced solid tumors who meet safety criteria (ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, minimum weight >30 kg) and the tumor-specific entry requirements are eligible.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not meet the organ function, weight, or performance-status criteria, or who have disease that progressed outside the study’s allowable windows, are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This Phase I, multicenter study uses a two-part design with a dose-escalation stage followed by a dose-expansion stage. In Part 1 participants with selected solid tumors (including stage III unresectable NSCLC, limited-stage SCLC, or unresectable HCC) will receive planned subcutaneous durvalumab doses (DL1 and DL2) with recombinant human hyaluronidase to identify a dose that matches IV exposure, with pharmacokinetics and safety closely monitored. Part 2 will expand at the selected dose in participants with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma to further characterize PK and tolerability. The protocol includes comparisons to standard intravenous durvalumab and allows exploration of combinations such as tremelimumab where specified.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, a subcutaneous formulation could shorten clinic visits and make durvalumab dosing easier while maintaining similar drug exposure to the intravenous form.

How similar studies have gone: Other therapeutic antibodies have been successfully reformulated as subcutaneous injections with hyaluronidase showing comparable exposure and acceptable safety in early-phase work, though subcutaneous durvalumab is a newer application of this approach.
