About This Medication

# Imfinzi Patient Assistance Program: How to Get Durvalumab at Low or No Cost ## About This Program The Imfinzi Patient Assistance Program, provided by AstraZeneca, is designed to help eligible patients access durvalumab (Imfinzi) at reduced or no cost. Imfinzi is an immunotherapy medication used to treat certain types of cancer, including unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). This guide will help you understand the program and navigate the application process. ## What is Imfinzi (Durvalumab)? Imfinzi is a prescription immunotherapy drug that works by helping your immune system recognize and fight cancer cells. It is administered as an intravenous infusion and is typically given in a healthcare setting. Your oncologist will determine if Imfinzi is an appropriate treatment for your specific cancer diagnosis and medical history. ## Who Qualifies for the Imfinzi Patient Assistance Program? The Imfinzi Patient Assistance Program is available to patients who: - Have been prescribed Imfinzi by a licensed healthcare provider - Are U.S. residents - Meet specific financial eligibility criteria (see income guidelines below) - Do not have adequate insurance coverage or cannot afford their out-of-pocket costs - Are not eligible for other government assistance programs The program aims to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent patients from accessing this important cancer treatment. ## Income Eligibility Guidelines While specific income thresholds for the Imfinzi Patient Assistance Program are not publicly detailed in standard references, AstraZeneca typically uses federal poverty level (FPL) guidelines to determine eligibility. Most AstraZeneca assistance programs consider patients with household incomes up to 400-500% of the federal poverty level. ### 2026 Federal Poverty Level Guidelines (Reference) | Household Size | 100% FPL | 300% FPL | 500% FPL | |---|---|---|---| | 1 person | $15,060 | $45,180 | $75,300 | | 2 people | $19,320 | $57,960 | $96,600 | | 3 people | $24,360 | $73,080 | $121,800 | | 4 people | $29,400 | $88,200 | $147,000 | | 5 people | $34,440 | $103,320 | $172,200 | | 6 people | $39,480 | $118,440 | $197,400 | **Note:** These are reference guidelines.
