Have you or others been on Imfinzi for longer than 12 months?

Yes, some people have been on Imfinzi for extended periods. In a clinical trial for stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer, participants received Imfinzi after chemotherapy, and researchers tracked outcomes over four years.

The results showed:
- Nearly 50% of participants who took Imfinzi were still alive four years later
- Around 35% remained alive and progression-free after four years

This suggests that people can stay on Imfinzi treatment for well beyond 12 months, with some continuing to benefit from it years later. The study noted that the treatment had "manageable safety," meaning side effects were generally tolerable over this extended time period.

Your oncologist can discuss whether continuing Imfinzi beyond 12 months is appropriate for your specific situation, as treatment duration varies based on individual response and tolerance.
