For all patients, OS HRs and 95% CIs were calculated using a Cox proportional hazard model adjusting for treatment, etiology, ECOG PS, and MVI. For the subgroup analysis, the HR and 95% CI were estimated from an unstratified Cox proportional hazard model with treatment as the only covariate and using the Efron method to control for ties.4,11

STRIDE (Single Tremelimumab Regular Interval Durvalumab) is the name given to the IMFINZI + IMJUDO regimen evaluated in the HIMALAYA study3
STUDY DESIGN: PHASE III, OPEN-LABEL, MULTICENTER, GLOBAL STUDY1-3

Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients in all arms could continue to receive treatment after evidence of disease progression if, in the investigator’s opinion, they were still benefiting from treatment and continued to meet inclusion and exclusion criteria.
*The HIMALAYA study included an additional arm of therapy: The IMJUDO 75-mg + IMFINZI arm (n=153) was closed following a preplanned analysis of a Phase II study. Results from this arm are not reported in this material, and this dosing regimen is not approved for use.3
The HIMALAYA study included patients with BCLC B or C disease, ECOG PS 0 or 1, and Child-Pugh A classification3
No EGD required to initiate therapy in the HIMALAYA study1-3‡
†PFS, ORR, and DoR were investigator assessed according to RECIST v1.1. Tumor assessments were conducted every 8 weeks for the first 12 months and then every 12 weeks thereafter.1-3
‡No EGD was required to screen for esophageal varices for trial eligibility. Patients with active or prior documented GI bleeding within 12 months were excluded. For patients with a history of GI bleeding for greater than 12 months or assessed as high risk for esophageal variceal, adequate endoscopic therapy was required.1-3
Patient demographics and disease characteristics were well balanced between arms3

Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated
Adverse Reactions
Important immune-mediated adverse reactions listed under Warnings and Precautions may not include all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions. Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting treatment or after discontinuation. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate clinical chemistries including liver enzymes, creatinine, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level, and thyroid function at baseline and before each dose.

Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting treatment or after discontinuation. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate clinical chemistries including liver enzymes, creatinine, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level, and thyroid function at baseline and before each dose. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMFINZI and IMJUDO depending on severity. See USPI Dosing and Administration for specific details. In general, if IMFINZI and IMJUDO requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 mg to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy.

IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis, which may be fatal. The incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation.
IMFINZI with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy can cause immune-mediated colitis, which may be
fatal.
IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated colitis that is frequently associated with diarrhea.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/reactivation has been reported in patients with corticosteroid-refractory
immune-mediated colitis. In cases of corticosteroid-refractory colitis, consider repeating infectious workup
to exclude alternative etiologies.
IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated hepatitis, which may be fatal.
IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated nephritis.
IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated rash or dermatitis. Exfoliative dermatitis, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), has occurred with PD-1/L-1 and CTLA-4 blocking antibodies. Topical emollients and/or topical corticosteroids may be adequate to treat mild to moderate non-exfoliative rashes.
IMFINZI in combination with IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated pancreatitis. Immune-mediated pancreatitis occurred in 2.3% (9/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO, including Grade 4 (0.3%) and Grade 3 (1.5%) adverse reactions.
The following clinically significant, immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred at an incidence of less than 1% each in patients who received IMFINZI and IMJUDO or were reported with the use of other immune-checkpoint inhibitors.
IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions. Interrupt, slow the rate of, or permanently discontinue IMFINZI and IMJUDO based on the severity. See USPI Dosing and Administration for specific details. For Grade 1 or 2 infusion-related reactions, consider using pre-medications with subsequent doses.
Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1/L-1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT. Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefit versus risks of treatment with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT.
Based on their mechanism of action and data from animal studies, IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In females of reproductive potential, verify pregnancy status prior to initiating IMFINZI and IMJUDO and advise them to use effective contraception during treatment with IMFINZI and IMJUDO and for 3 months after the last dose of IMFINZI and IMJUDO.
There is no information regarding the presence of IMFINZI and IMJUDO in human milk; however, because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from IMFINZI and IMJUDO, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose.
The safety and effectiveness of IMFINZI and IMJUDO have not been established in pediatric patients.
