Summary

This trial is testing the effects of durvalumab on cancer. It is also testing if prednisone, given with durvalumab, can reduce any side effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for cancer patients in Canada who had a positive response to initial immunotherapy but stopped due to immune-related side effects, which have since resolved. They must not have received certain other treatments post-immunotherapy and should be stable enough with a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effect of Durvalumab on cancer, alone or with Tremelimumab, after prior checkpoint therapy was discontinued due to toxicity. It also examines if Prednisone can reduce side effects when combined with Durvalumab.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions that may affect organs, infusion-related responses, increased risk of infections, and possible complications for those with diabetes or heart conditions.
