Durvalumab works as a monotherapy for the second-line setting after cisplatin therapy, explains Black. In the first-line setting there is a combination trial of durvalumab versus durvalumab plus tremelimumab versus standard chemotherapy.

In other disease sites, the combination works well—making people very optimistic but the results will take a few years, states Black.
