Durvalumab inhibits tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of human melanoma (A375) and pancreatic (HPAC) tumour cell lines, via a T-cell-mediated mechanism. Durvalumab (5-0.01 mg/kg for NOD/SCID mice with HPAC tumor; 5-0.1 mg/kg for NOD/SCID mice with A375 tumor; administration i.p.; twice per week; for 3 weeks) significantly inhibits the tumor growth of both HPAC and A375 xenografts compared with an isotype-matched control antibody. Tumor growth inhibition of the HPAC cells reaches 74%, whereas inhibition of the A375 cells reaches 77%. When administered in the absence of T cells, Durvalumab has no effect on the growth of the A375 tumor xenograft.
