MEDICINAL USE OF IMFINZI INJECTION
  • Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Biliary Tract Cancer

It works by blocking a protein called programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), which is found on the surface of certain cancer cells. When PD-L1 binds to its receptor on T cells, it can inhibit the immune system's ability to recognize and attack cancer cells.

By blocking the interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor, this drug allows T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. It helps the immune system to fight cancer and potentially slow or stop its growth.
