1.1 Urothelial Carcinoma



TECENTRIQ is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who:

  • are not eligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy and whose tumors express PD-L1 (PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] covering ≥ 5% of the tumor area), as determined by an FDA-approved test [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)], or
  • are not eligible for any platinum-containing chemotherapy regardless of PD-L1 status
  • This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and durability of response [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).


1.2 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer



  • TECENTRIQ, as a single agent, is indicated for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression (PD-L1 stained ≥ 50% of tumor cells [TC ≥ 50%] or PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] covering ≥ 10% of the tumor area [IC ≥ 10%]), as determined by an FDA-approved test, with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations.
  • TECENTRIQ, in combination with bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin, is indicated for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations.
  • TECENTRIQ, in combination with paclitaxel protein-bound and carboplatin, is indicated for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations.
  • TECENTRIQ, as a single-agent, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC who have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy. Patients with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations should have disease progression on FDA-approved therapy for NSCLC harboring these aberrations prior to receiving TECENTRIQ.

1.3 Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer



TECENTRIQ, in combination with paclitaxel protein-bound, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] of any intensity covering ≥ 1% of the tumor area), as determined by an FDA-approved test [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on progression free survival [see Clinical Studies (14.3)]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

      IMpower110

      The safety of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in IMpower110, a multicenter, international, randomized, open-label study in 549 chemotherapy-naïve patients with stage IV NSCLC, including those with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. Patients received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg every 3 weeks (n=286) or platinum-based chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin or cisplatin with either pemetrexed or gemcitabine (n=263) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. IMpower110 enrolled patients whose tumors express PD-L1 (PD-L1 stained ≥ 1% of tumor cells [TC] or PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] covering ≥ 1% of the tumor area). The median duration of exposure to TECENTRIQ was 5.3 months (0 to 33 months).

      Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.8% of patients receiving TECENTRIQ; these included death (reported as unexplained death and death of unknown cause), aspiration, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, mechanical ileus, sepsis, cerebral infarction, and device occlusion (1 patient each).

      Serious adverse reactions occurred in 28% of patients receiving TECENTRIQ. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (>2%) were pneumonia (2.8%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2.1%) and pneumonitis (2.1%).

      TECENTRIQ was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 6% of patients; the most common adverse reactions (≥2 patients) leading to TECENTRIQ discontinuation were peripheral neuropathy and pneumonitis.

      Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 26% of patients; the most common (>1%) were ALT increased (2.1%), AST increased (2.1%), pneumonitis (2.1%), pyrexia (1.4%), pneumonia (1.4%) and upper respiratory tract infection (1.4%).

      The safety of TECENTRIQ with bevacizumab, paclitaxel and carboplatin was evaluated in IMpower150, a multicenter, international, randomized, open-label trial in which 393 chemotherapy-naïve patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg with bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 or 200 mg/m2, and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min intravenously every 3 weeks for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles, followed by TECENTRIQ 1200 mg with bevacizumab 15 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. The median duration of exposure to TECENTRIQ was 8.3 months in patients receiving TECENTRIQ with bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin.

      Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 6% of patients receiving TECENTRIQ; these included hemoptysis, febrile neutropenia, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hemorrhage, death, cardiac arrest, cerebrovascular accident, pneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, intracranial hemorrhage, intestinal angina, intestinal ischemia, intestinal obstruction and aortic dissection.

      Serious adverse reactions occurred in 44%. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (>2%) were febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, diarrhea, and hemoptysis.

      TECENTRIQ was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 15% of patients; the most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation was pneumonitis (1.8%).

      Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 48%; the most common (>1%) were neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, fatigue/asthenia, diarrhea, hypothyroidism, anemia, pneumonia, pyrexia, hyperthyroidism, febrile neutropenia, increased ALT, dyspnea, dehydration and proteinuria.

      Previously Treated Metastatic NSCLC

      The safety of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in OAK, a multicenter, international, randomized, open-label trial in patients with metastatic NSCLC who progressed during or following a platinum-containing regimen, regardless of PD-L1 expression [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. A total of 609 patients received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity, radiographic progression, or clinical progression or docetaxel (n=578) 75 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. The study excluded patients with active or prior autoimmune disease or with medical conditions that required systemic corticosteroids. The median duration of exposure was 3.4 months (0 to 26 months) in TECENTRIQ-treated patients and 2.1 months (0 to 23 months) in docetaxel-treated patients.

      The study population characteristics were: median age of 63 years (25 to 85 years), 46% age 65 years or older, 62% male, 71% White, 20% Asian, 68% former smoker, 16% current smoker, and 63% had ECOG performance status of 1.

      Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.6% of patients; these included pneumonia, sepsis, septic shock, dyspnea, pulmonary hemorrhage, sudden death, myocardial ischemia or renal failure.

      Serious adverse reactions occurred in 33.5% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (>1%) were pneumonia, sepsis, dyspnea, pleural effusion, pulmonary embolism, pyrexia and respiratory tract infection.

      TECENTRIQ was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 8% of patients. The most common adverse reactions leading to TECENTRIQ discontinuation were fatigue, infections and dyspnea. Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 25% of patients; the most common (>1%) were pneumonia, liver function test abnormality, dyspnea, fatigue, pyrexia, and back pain.

      Tables 12 and 13 summarize adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in OAK.

      Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)

      The safety of TECENTRIQ in combination with paclitaxel protein-bound was evaluated in IMpassion130, a multicenter, international, randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled trial in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who have not received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease [see Clinical Studies (14.3)]. Patients received TECENTRIQ 840 mg (n=452) or placebo (n=438) intravenously followed by paclitaxel protein-bound (100 mg/m2) intravenously. For each 28 day cycle, TECENTRIQ was administered on days 1 and 15 and paclitaxel protein-bound was administered on days 1, 8, and 15 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In the safety-evaluable population, the median duration of exposure to TECENTRIQ was 5.5 months (range: 0-32 months) and paclitaxel protein-bound was 5.1 months (range: 0-31.5 months) in the TECENTRIQ and paclitaxel protein-bound arm. The median duration of exposure to placebo was 5.1 months (range: 0-25.1 months) and paclitaxel protein-bound was 5.0 months (range: 0-23.7 months) in the placebo and paclitaxel protein-bound arm.

      Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.3% of patients in the TECENTRIQ and paclitaxel protein-bound arm; these included septic shock, mucosal inflammation, auto-immune hepatitis, aspiration, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism.

      Serious adverse reactions occurred in 23% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions were pneumonia (2%), urinary tract infection (1%), dyspnea (1%), and pyrexia (1%).

      Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of TECENTRIQ occurred in 6% (29/452) of patients in the TECENTRIQ and paclitaxel protein-bound arm. The most common adverse reaction leading to TECENTRIQ discontinuation was peripheral neuropathy (<1%).

      Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 31% of patients; the most common (≥ 2%) were neutropenia, neutrophil count decreased, hyperthyroidism, and pyrexia.

      Immune-related adverse reactions requiring systemic corticosteroid therapy occurred in 13% (59/452) of patients in the TECENTRIQ and paclitaxel protein-bound arm.

      Tables 14 and 15 summarize adverse reactions and selected laboratory abnormalities worsening from baseline in the TECENTRIQ treated patients.

      Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

      The safety of TECENTRIQ with carboplatin and etoposide was evaluated in IMpower133, a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which 198 patients with ES-SCLC received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg and carboplatin AUC 5 mg/mL/min on Day 1 and etoposide 100 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 2 and 3 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 cycles, followed by TECENTRIQ 1200 mg every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Studies (14.4)]. Among 198 patients receiving TECENTRIQ, 32% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 12% were exposed for 12 months or longer.

      Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2% of patients receiving TECENTRIQ. These included pneumonia, respiratory failure, neutropenia, and death (1 patient each).

      Serious adverse reactions occurred in 37% of patients receiving TECENTRIQ. Serious adverse reactions in >2% were pneumonia (4.5%), neutropenia (3.5%), febrile neutropenia (2.5%), and thrombocytopenia (2.5%).

      TECENTRIQ was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 11% of patients. The most frequent adverse reaction requiring permanent discontinuation in >2% of patients was infusion-related reactions (2.5%).

      Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 59% of patients; the most common (>1%) were neutropenia (22%), anemia (9%), leukopenia (7%), thrombocytopenia (5%), fatigue (4.0%), infusion-related reaction (3.5%), pneumonia (2.0%), febrile neutropenia (1.5%), increased ALT (1.5%), and nausea (1.5%).

      Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

      The safety of TECENTRIQ in combination with bevacizumab was evaluated in IMbrave150, a multicenter, international, randomized, open-label trial in patients with locally advanced or metastatic or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who have not received prior systemic treatment [see Clinical Studies (14.5)]. Patients received 1,200 mg of TECENTRIQ intravenously followed by 15 mg/kg bevacizumab (n=329) every 3 weeks, or 400 mg of sorafenib (n=156) given orally twice daily, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of exposure to TECENTRIQ was 7.4 months (range: 0-16 months) and to bevacizumab was 6.9 months (range: 0-16 months).

      Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.6% of patients in the TECENTRIQ and bevacizumab arm. The most common adverse reactions leading to death were gastrointestinal and esophageal varices hemorrhage (1.2%) and infections (1.2%).

      Serious adverse reactions occurred in 38% of patients in the TECENTRIQ and bevacizumab arm. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (≥ 2%) were gastrointestinal hemorrhage (7%), infections (6%), and pyrexia (2.1%).

      Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of TECENTRIQ occurred in 9% of patients in the TECENTRIQ and bevacizumab arm. The most common adverse reactions leading to TECENTRIQ discontinuation were hemorrhages (1.2%), including gastrointestinal, subarachnoid, and pulmonary hemorrhages; increased transaminases or bilirubin (1.2%); infusion-related reaction/cytokine release syndrome (0.9%); and autoimmune hepatitis (0.6%).

      Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 41% of patients in the TECENTRIQ and bevacizumab arm; the most common (≥ 2%) were liver function laboratory abnormalities including increased transaminases, bilirubin, or alkaline phosphatase (8%); infections (6%); gastrointestinal hemorrhages (3.6%); thrombocytopenia/decreased platelet count (3.6%); hyperthyroidism (2.7%); and pyrexia (2.1%).

      Immune-related adverse reactions requiring systemic corticosteroid therapy occurred in 12% of patients in the TECENTRIQ and bevacizumab arm.

      Melanoma

      The safety of TECENTRIQ, administered with cobimetinib and vemurafenib was evaluated in IMspire150, a double-blind, randomized (1:1), placebo-controlled study conducted in patients with previously untreated BRAF V600 mutation-positive metastatic or unresectable melanoma [see Clinical Studies (14.5)]. Patients received TECENTRIQ with cobimetinib and vemurafenib (N=230) or placebo with cobimetinib and vemurafenib (n=281).

      Among the 230 patients who received TECENTRIQ administered with cobimetinib and vemurafenib, the median duration of exposure to TECENTRIQ was 9.2 months (range: 0-30 months) to cobimetinib was 10.0 months (range: 1-31 months) and to vemurafenib was 9.8 months (range: 1-31 months).

      Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3% of patients in the TECENTRIQ plus cobimetinib and vemurafenib arm. Adverse reactions leading to death were hepatic failure, fulminant hepatitis, sepsis, septic shock, pneumonia, and cardiac arrest.

      Serious adverse reactions occurred in 45% of patients in the TECENTRIQ plus cobimetinib and vemurafenib arm. The most frequent (≥ 2%) serious adverse reactions were hepatotoxicity (7%), pyrexia (6%), pneumonia (4.3%), malignant neoplasms (2.2%), and acute kidney injury (2.2%).

      Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of TECENTRIQ occurred in 21% of patients in the TECENTRIQ plus cobimetinib and vemurafenib arm. The most frequent (≥ 2%) adverse reactions leading to TECENTRIQ discontinuation were increased ALT (2.2%) and pneumonitis (2.6%).

      Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 68% of patients in the TECENTRIQ plus cobimetinib and vemurafenib arm. The most frequent (≥ 2%) adverse reactions leading to TECENTRIQ interruption were pyrexia (14%), increased ALT (13%), hyperthyroidism (10%), increased AST (10%), increased lipase (9%), increased amylase (7%), pneumonitis (5%), increased CPK (4.3%), diarrhea (3.5%), pneumonia (3.5%), asthenia (3%), rash (3%), influenza (3%), arthralgia (2.6%), fatigue (2.2%), dyspnea (2.2%), cough (2.2%), peripheral edema (2.2%), uveitis (2.2%), bronchitis (2.2%), hypothyroidism (2.2%), and respiratory tract infection (2.2%).

      Risk Summary

      Based on its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], TECENTRIQ can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of TECENTRIQ in pregnant women.

      Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-related rejection of the developing fetus resulting in fetal death (see Data). Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus.

      In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

      Data

      Animal Data

      Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with TECENTRIQ to evaluate its effect on reproduction and fetal development. A literature-based assessment of the effects on reproduction demonstrated that a central function of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway is to preserve pregnancy by maintaining maternal immune tolerance to a fetus. Blockage of PD-L1 signaling has been shown in murine models of pregnancy to disrupt tolerance to a fetus and to result in an increase in fetal loss; therefore, potential risks of administering TECENTRIQ during pregnancy include increased rates of abortion or stillbirth. As reported in the literature, there were no malformations related to the blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 signaling in the offspring of these animals; however, immune-mediated disorders occurred in PD-1 and PD-L1 knockout mice. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to atezolizumab may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response.

      Risk Summary

      There is no information regarding the presence of atezolizumab in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. As human IgG is excreted in human milk, the potential for absorption and harm to the infant is unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from TECENTRIQ, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for at least 5 months after the last dose.

      Pregnancy Testing

      Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating TECENTRIQ [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

      Contraception

      Females

      Based on its mechanism of action, TECENTRIQ can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TECENTRIQ and for at least 5 months following the last dose.

      Infertility

      Females

      Based on animal studies, TECENTRIQ may impair fertility in females of reproductive potential while receiving treatment [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

      Specific Populations

      Age (21 to 89 years), body weight, sex, albumin levels, tumor burden, region or race, mild or moderate renal impairment [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 30 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2], mild hepatic impairment (bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN or bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST), moderate hepatic impairment (bilirubin >1.5 to 3× ULN and any AST), level of PD-L1 expression, or performance status had no clinically significant effect on the systemic exposure of atezolizumab. Across clinical trials with TECENTRIQ, median atezolizumab clearance in patients who tested positive for treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADA) was 22% (range: 18% to 49%) higher as compared to atezolizumab clearance in patients who tested negative for treatment-emergent ADA.

      Drug Interaction Studies

      The drug interaction potential of atezolizumab is unknown.

      Cisplatin-Ineligible Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

      The efficacy of TECENTRIQ was investigated in IMvigor210 (Cohort 1) (NCT02951767), a multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial that included 119 patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who were ineligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy and were either previously untreated or had disease progression at least 12 months after neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients were considered cisplatin-ineligible if they met any one of the following criteria at study entry: impaired renal function [creatinine clearance (CLcr) of 30 to 59 mL/min], Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 2, hearing loss of ≥ 25 decibels (dB) at two contiguous frequencies, or Grades 2-4 peripheral neuropathy. This study excluded patients who had: a history of autoimmune disease; active or corticosteroid-dependent brain metastases; administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to enrollment; or administration of systemic immunostimulatory agents within 6 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to enrollment. Patients received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg as an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Tumor response assessments were conducted every 9 weeks for the first 54 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter. Major efficacy outcome measures included confirmed overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by independent review facility (IRF) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1), duration of response (DoR) and overall survival (OS).

      In this study, the median age was 73 years, 81% were male, and 91% were White. Thirty-five percent of patients had non-bladder urothelial carcinoma and 66% had visceral metastases. Eighty percent of patients had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1. Reasons for ineligibility for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy were: 70% had impaired renal function, 20% had an ECOG PS of 2, 14% had a hearing loss of ≥ 25dB, and 6% had Grades 2-4 peripheral neuropathy at baseline. Twenty percent of patients had disease progression following prior platinum-containing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.

      Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory, and the results were used to define subgroups for pre-specified analyses. Of the 119 patients, 27% were classified as having PD-L1 expression of ≥ 5% (defined as PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] covering ≥ 5% of the tumor area). The remaining 73% of patients were classified as having PD-L1 expression of < 5% (PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating IC covering < 5% of the tumor area).

      Among the 32 patients with PD-L1 expression of ≥ 5%, median age was 67 years, 81% were male, 19% female, and 88% were White. Twenty-eight percent of patients had non-bladder urothelial carcinoma and 56% had visceral metastases. Seventy-two percent of patients had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1. Reasons for ineligibility for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy were: 66% had impaired renal function, 28% had an ECOG PS of 2, 16% had a hearing loss ≥ 25 dB, and 9% had Grades 2-4 peripheral neuropathy at baseline. Thirty-one percent of patients had disease progression following prior platinum-containing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.

      Confirmed ORR in all patients and the two PD-L1 subgroups are summarized in Table 22. The median follow-up time for this study was 14.4 months. In 24 patients with disease progression following neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, the ORR was 33% (95% CI: 16%, 55%).

      IMvigor130 (NCT02807636) is an ongoing multicenter, randomized study in previously untreated patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who are eligible for platinum-containing chemotherapy. The study contains three arms: TECENTRIQ monotherapy, TECENTRIQ with platinum-based chemotherapy (i.e., cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine), and platinum-based chemotherapy alone (comparator). Both cisplatin-eligible and cisplatin-ineligible patients are included in the study. Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory. The independent Data Monitoring Committee (iDMC) for the study conducted a review of early data and found that patients classified as having PD-L1 expression of <5% when treated with TECENTRIQ monotherapy had decreased survival compared to those who received platinum-based chemotherapy. The iDMC recommended closure of the monotherapy arm to further accrual of patients with low PD-L1 expression, however, no other changes were recommended for the study, including any change of therapy for patients who had already been randomized to and were receiving treatment in the monotherapy arm.

      Metastatic Chemotherapy-Naïve NSCLC with High PD-L1 Expression

      The efficacy of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in IMpower110 (NCT02409342), a multicenter, international, randomized, open-label trial in patients with stage IV NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 (PD-L1 stained ≥ 1% of tumor cells [TC ≥ 1%] or PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] covering ≥ 1% of the tumor area [IC ≥ 1%]), who had received no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. PD-L1 tumor status was determined based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay. The evaluation of efficacy is based on the subgroup of patients with high PD-L1 expression (TC ≥ 50% or IC ≥ 10%), excluding those with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. The trial excluded patients with a history of autoimmune disease, administration of a live attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to randomization, active or untreated CNS metastases, administration of systemic immunostimulatory agents within 4 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to randomization.

      Randomization was stratified by sex, ECOG performance status, histology (non-squamous vs. squamous) and PD-L1 expression (TC ≥ 1% and any IC vs. TC < 1% and IC ≥ 1%). Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive one of the following treatment arms:

      • Arm A: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
      • Arm B: Platinum-based chemotherapy
      • Arm B platinum-based chemotherapy regimens for non-squamous NSCLC consisted of cisplatin (75 mg/m2) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) OR carboplatin (AUC 6 mg/mL/min) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles followed by pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

        Arm B platinum-based chemotherapy regimens for squamous NSCLC consisted of cisplatin (75 mg/m2) on Day 1 with gemcitabine (1250 mg/m2) on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle OR carboplatin (AUC 5 mg/mL/min) on Day 1 with gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles followed by best supportive care until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

        Administration of TECENTRIQ was permitted beyond RECIST-defined disease progression. Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks following Cycle 1, Day 1 and then every 9 weeks thereafter. Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory and the results were used to define subgroups for pre-specified analyses.

        The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS) sequentially tested in the following subgroups of patients, excluding those with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations: TC ≥50% or IC ≥10%; TC ≥5% or IC ≥5%; and TC ≥1% or IC ≥1%.

        Among the 205 chemotherapy-naïve patients with stage IV NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression (TC ≥ 50% or IC ≥ 10%) excluding those with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations, the median age was 65.0 years (range: 33 to 87), and 70% of patients were male. The majority of patients were White (82%) and Asian (17%). Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (36%) or 1 (64%); 88% were current or previous smokers; and 76% of patients had non-squamous disease while 24% of patients had squamous disease.

        The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS for patients with high PD-L1 expression (TC ≥50% or IC ≥10%) at the time of the OS interim analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in OS for the other two PD-L1 subgroups (TC ≥5% or IC ≥5%; and TC ≥1% or IC ≥1%) at the interim or final analyses. Efficacy results for patients with NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression are presented in Table 23 and Figure 1.

        Investigator-assessed PFS showed an HR of 0.63 (95% CI: 0.45, 0.88), with median PFS of 8.1 months (95% CI: 6.8, 11.0) in the TECENTRIQ arm and 5 months (95% CI: 4.2, 5.7) in the platinum-based chemotherapy arm. The investigator-assessed confirmed ORR was 38% (95% CI: 29%, 48%) in the TECENTRIQ arm and 29% (95% CI: 20%, 39%) in the platinum-based chemotherapy arm.

        Metastatic Chemotherapy-Naive Non-Squamous NSCLC

        IMpower150

        The efficacy of TECENTRIQ with bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin was evaluated in IMpower150 (NCT02366143), a multicenter, international, randomized (1:1:1), open-label trial in patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. Patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC who had received no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease but could have received prior EGFR or ALK kinase inhibitor if appropriate, regardless of PD-L1 or T-effector gene (tGE) status and ECOG performance status 0 or 1 were eligible. The trial excluded patients with a history of autoimmune disease, administration of a live attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to randomization, active or untreated CNS metastases, administration of systemic immunostimulatory agents within 4 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to randomization, or clear tumor infiltration into the thoracic great vessels or clear cavitation of pulmonary lesions as seen on imaging. Randomization was stratified by sex, presence of liver metastases, and PD-L1 expression status on tumor cells (TC) and tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC) as follows: TC3 and any IC vs. TC0/1/2 and IC2/3 vs. TC0/1/2 and IC0/1. Patients were randomized to one of the following three treatment arms:

        • Arm A: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 or 200 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles
        • Arm B: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg, bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 or 200 mg/m2, and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles
        • Arm C: bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 or 200 mg/m2, and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles
        • Patients who had not experienced disease progression following the completion or cessation of platinum-based chemotherapy, received:

          • Arm A: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
          • Arm B: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
          • Arm C: bevacizumab 15 mg/kg intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
          • Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks following Cycle 1, Day 1 and then every 9 weeks thereafter. Tumor specimens were evaluated prior to randomization for PD-L1 tumor expression using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) assay at a central laboratory. Tumor tissue was collected at baseline for expression of tGE signature and evaluation was performed using a clinical trial assay in a central laboratory prior to the analysis of efficacy outcome measures.

            Major efficacy outcome measures for comparison of Arms B and C were progression free survival (PFS) by RECIST v1.1 in the tGE-WT (patients with high expression of T-effector gene signature [tGE], excluding those with EGFR- and ALK-positive NSCLC [WT]) and in the ITT-WT subpopulations and overall survival (OS) in the ITT-WT subpopulation. Additional efficacy outcome measures for comparison of Arms B and C or Arms A and C were PFS and OS in the ITT population, OS in the tGE-WT subpopulation, and ORR/DoR in the tGE-WT and ITT-WT subpopulations.

            A total of 1202 patients were enrolled across the three arms of whom 1045 were in the ITT-WT subpopulation and 447 were in the tGE-WT subpopulation. The demographic information is limited to the 800 patients enrolled in Arms B and C where efficacy has been demonstrated. The median age was 63 years (range: 31 to 90), and 60% of patients were male. The majority of patients were White (82%), 13% of patients were Asian, 10% were Hispanic, and 2% of patients were Black. Clinical sites in Asia (enrolling 13% of the study population) received paclitaxel at a dose of 175 mg/m2 while the remaining 87% received paclitaxel at a dose of 200 mg/m2. Approximately 14% of patients had liver metastases at baseline, and most patients were current or previous smokers (80%). Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (43%) or 1 (57%). PD-L1 was TC3 and any IC in 12%, TC0/1/2 and IC2/3 in 13%, and TC0/1/2 and IC0/1 in 75%. The demographics for the 696 patients in the ITT-WT subpopulation were similar to the ITT population except for the absence of patients with EGFR- or ALK-positive NSCLC.

            The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS between Arms B and C in both the tGE-WT and ITT-WT subpopulations, but did not demonstrate a significant difference for either subpopulation between Arms A and C based on the final PFS analyses. In the interim analysis of OS, a statistically significant improvement was observed for Arm B compared to Arm C, but not for Arm A compared to Arm C. Efficacy results for the ITT-WT subpopulation are presented in Table 24 and Figure 2.

            Exploratory analyses showed that the subset of patients in the four drug regimen arm who were ADA positive by week 4 (30%) appeared to have similar efficacy (effect on overall survival) as compared to patients who tested negative for treatment-emergent ADA by week 4 (70%) [see Adverse Reactions (6.2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. In an exploratory analysis, propensity score matching was conducted to compare ADA positive patients in the TECENTRIQ, bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin arm with a matched population in the bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin arm. Similarly ADA negative patients in the TECENTRIQ, bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin arm were compared with a matched population in the bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin arm. Propensity score matching factors were: baseline sum of longest tumor size (BSLD), baseline ECOG, baseline albumin, baseline LDH, sex, tobacco history, metastatic site, TC level, and IC level. The hazard ratio comparing the ADA-positive subgroup with its matched control was 0.69 (95% CI: 0.44, 1.07). The hazard ratio comparing the ADA-negative subgroup with its matched control was 0.64 (95% CI: 0.46, 0.90).

            IMpower130

            The efficacy of TECENTRIQ with paclitaxel protein-bound and carboplatin was evaluated in IMpower130 (NCT02367781), a multicenter, randomized (2:1), open-label trial in patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC. Patients with Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC who had received no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease, but could have received prior EGFR or ALK kinase inhibitor, if appropriate, were eligible. The trial excluded patients with history of autoimmune disease, administration of live attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to randomization, administration of immunostimulatory agents within 4 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to randomization, and active or untreated CNS metastases. Randomization was stratified by sex, presence of liver metastases, and PD-L1 tumor expression according to the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) assay as follows: TC3 and any IC vs. TC0/1/2 and IC2/3 vs. TC0/1/2 and IC0/1. Patients were randomized to one of the following treatment regimens:

            • TECENTRIQ 1200 mg on Day 1, paclitaxel protein-bound 100 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8, and 15, and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles followed by TECENTRIQ 1200 mg once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or
            • Paclitaxel protein-bound 100 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8 and 15 and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles followed by best supportive care or pemetrexed.
            • Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks, then every 9 weeks thereafter. Major efficacy outcome measures were PFS by RECIST v1.1 and OS in the subpopulation of patients evaluated for and documented to have no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations (ITT-WT).

              A total of 724 patients were enrolled; of these, 681 (94%) were in the ITT-WT population. The median age was 64 years (range: 18 to 86) and 59% were male. The majority of patients were white (90%), 2% of patients were Asian, 5% were Hispanic, and 4% were Black. Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (41%) or 1 (58%). Most patients were current or previous smokers (90%). PD-L1 tumor expression was TC0/1/2 and IC0/1 in 73%; TC3 and any IC in 14%; and TC0/1/2 and IC2/3 in 13%.

              Efficacy results for the ITT-WT population are presented in Table 25 and Figure 3.

              Previously Treated Metastatic NSCLC

              The efficacy of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in a multicenter, international, randomized (1:1), open-label study (OAK; NCT02008227) conducted in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose disease progressed during or following a platinum-containing regimen. Patients with a history of autoimmune disease, symptomatic or corticosteroid-dependent brain metastases, or requiring systemic immunosuppression within 2 weeks prior to enrollment were ineligible. Randomization was stratified by PD-L1 expression tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC), the number of prior chemotherapy regimens (1 vs. 2), and histology (squamous vs. non-squamous).

              Patients were randomized to receive TECENTRIQ 1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity, radiographic progression, or clinical progression or docetaxel 75 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 36 weeks and every 9 weeks thereafter. Major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS) in the first 850 randomized patients and OS in the subgroup of patients with PD-L1-expressing tumors (defined as ≥ 1% PD-L1 expression on tumor cells [TC] or immune cells [IC]). Additional efficacy outcome measures were OS in all randomized patients (n = 1225), OS in subgroups based on PD-L1 expression, overall response rate (ORR), and progression free survival as assessed by the investigator per RECIST v.1.1.

              Among the first 850 randomized patients, the median age was 64 years (33 to 85 years) and 47% were ≥ 65 years old; 61% were male; 70% were White and 21% were Asian; 15% were current smokers and 67% were former smokers; and 37% had baseline ECOG PS of 0 and 63% had a baseline ECOG PS of 1. Nearly all (94%) had metastatic disease, 74% had non-squamous histology, 75% had received only one prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen, and 55% of patients had PD-L1-expressing tumors.

              Efficacy results are presented in Table 26 and Figure 4.

              Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory and the results were used to define the PD-L1 expression subgroups for pre-specified analyses. Of the 850 patients, 16% were classified as having high PD-L1 expression, defined as having PD-L1 expression on ≥ 50% of TC or ≥ 10% of IC. In an exploratory efficacy subgroup analysis of OS based on PD-L1 expression, the hazard ratio was 0.41 (95% CI: 0.27, 0.64) in the high PD-L1 expression subgroup and 0.82 (95% CI: 0.68, 0.98) in patients who did not have high PD-L1 expression.

              Exploratory analyses showed that the subset of patients who were ADA positive by week 4 (21%) appeared to have less efficacy (effect on overall survival) as compared to patients who tested negative for treatment-emergent ADA by week 4 (79%) [see Adverse Reactions (6.2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. ADA positive patients by week 4 appeared to have similar OS compared to docetaxel-treated patients. In an exploratory analysis, propensity score matching was conducted to compare ADA positive patients in the atezolizumab arm with a matched population in the docetaxel arm and ADA negative patients in the atezolizumab arm with a matched population in the docetaxel arm. Propensity score matching factors were: baseline sum of longest tumor size (BSLD), baseline ECOG, histology (squamous vs. non-squamous), baseline albumin, baseline LDH, gender, tobacco history, metastases status (advanced or local), metastatic site, TC level, and IC level. The hazard ratio comparing the ADA positive subgroup with its matched control was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.61, 1.3). The hazard ratio comparing the ADA negative subgroup with its matched control was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.55, 0.83).

              Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions

              Inform patients of the risk of immune-mediated adverse reactions that may require corticosteroid treatment and interruption or discontinuation of TECENTRIQ, including:

5.1 Severe And Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions



TECENTRIQ is a monoclonal antibody that belongs to a class of drugs that bind to either the programmed death-receptor 1 (PD-1) or the PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1), blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, thereby removing inhibition of the immune response, potentially breaking peripheral tolerance and inducing 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 a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. While immune-mediated adverse reactions usually manifest during treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies, immune-mediated adverse reactions can also manifest after discontinuation of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies.

Early identification and management of immune-mediated adverse reactions are essential to ensure safe use of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. 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 TECENTRIQ depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. In general, if TECENTRIQ requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 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.

Toxicity management guidelines for adverse reactions that do not necessarily require systemic steroids (e.g., endocrinopathies and dermatologic reactions) are discussed below.




TECENTRIQ 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 TECENTRIQ based on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. For Grade 1 or 2 infusion-related reactions, consider using pre-medications with subsequent doses.

In clinical studies enrolling 2616 patients with various cancers who received TECENTRIQ as a single-agent [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], infusion-related reactions occurred in 1.3% of patients, including Grade 3 (0.2%). The frequency and severity of infusion-related reactions were similar whether TECENTRIQ was given as a single-agent in patients with various cancers, in combination with other antineoplastic drugs in NSCLC and SCLC, and across the recommended dose range (840 mg Q2W to 1680 mg Q4W).


5.3 Complications Of Allogeneic Hsct After Pd-1/Pd-L1 Inhibitors



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/PD-L1 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/PD-L1 blockage and allogeneic HSCT.

Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefits versus risks of treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT.


5.4 Increased Mortality In Patients With Metastatic Tnbc When Tecentriq Is Used With Paclitaxel



In a randomized trial in patients with metastatic TNBC, an increase in the risk of death was observed in patients treated with TECENTRIQ plus paclitaxel compared with placebo and paclitaxel in the PD-L1-positive population. The efficacy of TECENTRIQ in combination with paclitaxel in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC has not been demonstrated [see Indications and Usage (1.3) and Clinical Studies (14.4)].

Do not substitute paclitaxel protein-bound with paclitaxel in combination with TECENTRIQ in clinical practice for metastatic TNBC outside of controlled trials.


5.5 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity



Based on its mechanism of action, TECENTRIQ can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of TECENTRIQ in pregnant women. Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-related rejection of the developing fetus resulting in fetal death.

Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating TECENTRIQ. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TECENTRIQ and for at least 5 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].


6 Adverse Reactions



The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience



Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The data described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to TECENTRIQ as a single-agent in 2616 patients in two randomized, active-controlled studies (POPLAR, OAK) and four open-label, single arm studies (PCD4989g, IMvigor210, BIRCH, FIR) which enrolled 524 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma, 1636 patients with metastatic NSCLC, and 456 patients with other tumor types. TECENTRIQ was administered at a dose of 1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks in all studies except PCD4989g. Among the 2616 patients who received a single-agent TECENTRIQ, 36% were exposed for longer than 6 months and 20% were exposed for longer than 12 months. Using the dataset described for patients who received TECENTRIQ as a single-agent, the most common adverse reactions in ≥ 20% of patients were fatigue/asthenia (48%), decreased appetite (25%), nausea (24%), cough (22%), and dyspnea (22%).

In addition, the data reflect exposure to TECENTRIQ in combination with other antineoplastic drugs in 2421 patients with NSCLC (N = 2223) or SCLC (N = 198) enrolled in five randomized, active-controlled trials, including IMpower150, IMpower130 and IMpower133. Among the 2421 patients, 53% were exposed to TECENTRIQ for longer than 6 months and 29% were exposed to TECENTRIQ for longer than 12 months. Among the 2421 patients with NSCLC and SCLC who received TECENTRIQ in combination with other antineoplastic drugs, the most common adverse reactions in ≥20% of patients were fatigue/asthenia (49%), nausea (38%), alopecia (35%), constipation (29%), diarrhea (28%) and decreased appetite (27%).

The data also reflect exposure to TECENTRIQ administered in combination with cobimetinib and vemurafenib in 230 patients enrolled in IMspire150. Among the 230 patients, 62% were exposed to TECENTRIQ for longer than 6 months and 42% were exposed to TECENTRIQ for longer than 12 months.


6.2 Immunogenicity



As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to atezolizumab in the studies described above with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.

Among 565 patients with NSCLC in OAK, 30% tested positive for treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADA) at one or more post-dose time points. The median onset time to ADA formation was 3 weeks. The ability of these binding ADA to neutralize atezolizumab is unknown. Patients who tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA also had decreased systemic atezolizumab exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Exploratory analyses showed that the subset of patients who were ADA positive by week 4 (21%; 118/560) appeared to have less efficacy (effect on overall survival) as compared to patients who tested negative for treatment-emergent ADA by week 4 [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. The presence of ADA did not have a clinically significant effect on the incidence or severity of adverse reactions.

Among 111 patients in IMvigor210 (Cohort 1), 48% tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA at one or more post-dose time points. Patients who tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA also had decreased systemic atezolizumab exposures. The presence of ADA did not have a clinically significant effect on the incidence or severity of adverse reactions.

Among 364 ADA-evaluable patients with NSCLC who received TECENTRIQ with bevacizumab, paclitaxel and carboplatin in IMpower150, 36% (n=132) tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA at one or more post-dose time points and 83% of these 132 patients tested ADA positive prior to receiving the second dose of atezolizumab. The ability of these binding ADA to neutralize atezolizumab is unknown. Patients who tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA had lower systemic atezolizumab exposure as compared to patients who were ADA negative [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. The presence of ADA did not increase the incidence or severity of adverse reactions [see Clinical Studies (14.2)].

Among 434 patients with TNBC in IMpassion130, 13% tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA at one or more post-dose time points. Among 178 patients in PD-L1 positive subgroup with TNBC in IMpassion130, 12% tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA at one or more post-dose time points. Patients who tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA had decreased systemic atezolizumab exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. There are insufficient numbers of patients in the PD-L1 positive subgroup with ADA to determine whether ADA alters the efficacy of atezolizumab. The presence of ADA did not have a clinically significant effect on the incidence or severity of adverse reactions.

Among 315 ADA-evaluable patients with HCC who received TECENTRIQ and bevacizumab in IMbrave150, 28% (n=88) tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA at one or more post-dose time points and 66% (58/88) of these 88 patients tested ADA-positive prior to receiving the third dose of TECENTRIQ. The ability of these binding ADA to neutralize atezolizumab is unknown. Patients who tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA had lower systemic atezolizumab exposure as compared to patients who were ADA-negative [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Exploratory analyses showed that the subset of patients who were ADA-positive by week 6 (20%; 58/288) appeared to have less efficacy (effect on overall survival) as compared to patients who tested negative for treatment-emergent ADA by week 6; [see Clinical Studies (14.5)]. The presence of ADA did not have a clinically significant effect on the incidence or severity of adverse reactions.

Among 218 ADA-evaluable patients with melanoma who received TECENTRIQ in combination with cobimetinib and vemurafenib in IMspire150, 13% (n=29) tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA at one or more post-dose time points. Patients who tested positive for treatment-emergent ADA had decreased systemic atezolizumab exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. There are insufficient numbers of patients with positive ADA to determine whether ADA alters the efficacy or incidence or severity of adverse reactions.


8.4 Pediatric Use



The safety and effectiveness of TECENTRIQ have not been established in pediatric patients.

The safety and antitumor activity of TECENTRIQ were assessed but not established in a single-arm, multi-center, multi-cohort trial (NCT02541604) in 60 pediatric patients aged 7 months to <17 years with relapsed or progressive solid tumors and lymphomas. No new safety signals were observed in pediatric patients in this study.

In pediatric patients who received TECENTRIQ 15 mg/kg with a maximum dose of 1200 mg every 3 weeks, the steady-state exposure (AUC) of atezolizumab in pediatric patients aged 12 years or older was comparable to that in adult patients who received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg every 3 weeks, while the exposure trended lower in pediatric patients less than 12 years old.


8.5 Geriatric Use



Of 2616 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma, metastatic NSCLC, and other tumor types treated with single agent TECENTRIQ in clinical studies, 49% were 65 years and over and 15% were 75 years and over.

Of 2421 patients with NSCLC and SCLC treated with TECENTRIQ in combination with other antineoplastic drugs in clinical studies, 48% were 65 years and over and 10% were 75 years and over.

No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients aged 65 years or older and younger patients.


11 Description



Atezolizumab is a programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) blocking antibody. Atezolizumab is an Fc-engineered, humanized, non-glycosylated IgG1 kappa immunoglobulin that has a calculated molecular mass of 145 kDa.

TECENTRIQ (atezolizumab) injection for intravenous use is a sterile, preservative-free, colorless to slightly yellow solution in single-dose vials. Each 20 mL vial contains 1200 mg of atezolizumab and is formulated in glacial acetic acid (16.5 mg), L-histidine (62 mg), polysorbate 20 (8 mg), and sucrose (821.6 mg), with a pH of 5.8. Each 14 mL vial contains 840 mg of atezolizumab and is formulated in glacial acetic acid (11.5 mg), L-histidine (43.4 mg), polysorbate 20 (5.6 mg), and sucrose (575.1 mg) with a pH of 5.8.


12.1 Mechanism Of Action



PD-L1 may be expressed on tumor cells and/or tumor infiltrating immune cells and can contribute to the inhibition of the anti-tumor immune response in the tumor microenvironment. Binding of PD-L1 to the PD-1 and B7.1 receptors found on T cells and antigen presenting cells suppresses cytotoxic T-cell activity, T-cell proliferation and cytokine production.

Atezolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to PD-L1 and blocks its interactions with both PD-1 and B7.1 receptors. This releases the PD-L1/PD-1 mediated inhibition of the immune response, including activation of the anti-tumor immune response without inducing antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-L1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth.

In mouse models of cancer, dual inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 and MAPK pathways suppresses tumor growth and improves tumor immunogenicity through increased antigen presentation and T cell infiltration and activation compared to targeted therapy alone.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics



Patients' exposure to atezolizumab increased dose proportionally over the dose range of 1 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg, including a dose of 1200 mg administered every 3 weeks. The clearance (CV%) was 0.20 L/day (29%), the volume of distribution at steady state was 6.9 L, and the terminal half-life was 27 days. Steady state was achieved after 6 to 9 weeks following multiple doses. The systemic accumulation ratio for every 2 weeks administration and every 3 weeks administration was 3.3- and 1.9- fold, respectively. Atezolizumab clearance was found to decrease over time, with a mean maximal reduction (CV%) from baseline value of approximately 17% (41%); however, the decrease in clearance was not considered clinically relevant.


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility



No studies have been performed to test the potential of atezolizumab for carcinogenicity or genotoxicity.

Animal fertility studies have not been conducted with atezolizumab; however, an assessment of the male and female reproductive organs was included in a 26-week, repeat-dose toxicity study in cynomolgus monkeys. Weekly administration of atezolizumab to female monkeys at the highest dose tested caused an irregular menstrual cycle pattern and a lack of newly formed corpora lutea in the ovaries. This effect occurred at an estimated AUC approximately 6 times the AUC in patients receiving the recommended dose and was reversible. There was no effect on the male monkey reproductive organs.


13.2 Animal Toxicology And/Or Pharmacology



In animal models, inhibition of PD-L1/PD-1 signaling increased the severity of some infections and enhanced inflammatory responses. M. tuberculosis-infected PD-1 knockout mice exhibit markedly decreased survival compared with wild-type controls, which correlated with increased bacterial proliferation and inflammatory responses in these animals. PD-L1 and PD-1 knockout mice and mice receiving PD-L1 blocking antibody have also shown decreased survival following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.


14.3 Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer



The efficacy of TECENTRIQ in combination with paclitaxel protein-bound was investigated in IMpassion130 (NCT02425891), a multicenter, international, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized (1:1) trial that included 902 unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer patients that had not received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. The trial excluded patients with a history of autoimmune disease, administration of a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization, administration of systemic immunostimulatory agents within 4 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to randomization; or untreated or corticosteroid-dependent brain metastases.

Randomization was stratified by presence of liver metastases, prior taxane treatment, and by PD-L1 expression status in tumor infiltrating immune cells (IC) (PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] <1% of tumor area vs. ≥ 1% of the tumor area) by the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay. Of the 902 patients in the intent to treat population (ITT), 41% (369 patients) were classified as PD-L1 expression ≥ 1%. Patients were randomized to receive TECENTRIQ 840 mg or placebo intravenously on Days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle with paclitaxel protein-bound 100 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle. Patients received treatment until radiographic disease progression per RECIST v1.1, or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks (± 1 week) for the first 12 months after Cycle 1, day 1 and every 12 weeks (± 1 week) thereafter. Major efficacy outcomes were investigator-assessed progression free survival (PFS) (per RECIST v1.1) and overall survival (OS) in the ITT population and PD-L1 expressing patient population.

In IMpassion130, the median age was 55 years (range: 20-86). Overall, most patients were women (99.6%) and the majority of patients were white (68%), Asian (18%), Black or African American (7%), and American Indian or Alaskan Native (4.4%). The demographic and baseline disease characteristics of the study population were well balanced between the treatment arms. Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (58%) or 1 (41%). Overall, 41% of enrolled patients had PD-L1 expression ≥ 1%, 27% had liver metastases and 7% brain metastases at baseline. Approximately half the patients had received a taxane (51%) or anthracycline (54%) in the (neo)adjuvant setting. Patient demographics and baseline tumor disease in the PD-L1 expressing population were generally representative of the broader study population.

Tumor specimens (archival or fresh) were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory and the results were used as a stratification factor for randomization and to define the PD-L1 expression subgroups for pre-specified analyses.

The efficacy results of IMpassion130 for the patient population with PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% are presented in Table 27 and Figure 5.

14.4 Lack Of Efficacy In Combination With Paclitaxel In Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer



The efficacy of TECENTRIQ in combination with paclitaxel in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer has not been demonstrated. IMpassion131 (NCT03125902) was a multicenter, international, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized (2:1) trial that included 651 patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer that had not received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Of these, 45% (292) were classified as PD-L1 expression ≥ 1%.

Patients were randomized to receive TECENTRIQ 840 mg or placebo intravenously on Days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle with paclitaxel 90 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle. Patients received treatment until radiographic disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Randomization was stratified by presence of liver metastases, prior taxane treatment, and by PD-L1 expression status in tumor infiltrating immune cells (IC) (PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] <1% of tumor area vs. ≥ 1% of the tumor area) determined by the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay.

The major efficacy endpoint of investigator assessed progression free survival (via RECIST v1.1) in the PD-L1 expressing population after 61% of patients experienced a PFS event showed a non-statistically significant HR of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.60, 1.12). The median PFS in the TECENTRIQ with paclitaxel arm was 6.0 months (95% CI: 5.6, 7.4), and the median PFS in the placebo with paclitaxel arm was 5.7 months (95% CI: 5.4, 7.2).

Overall survival in the PD-L1 expressing population with 42% deaths in the same population showed an HR of 1.11 (95% CI: 0.76, 1.64). The median survival for TECENTRIQ in combination with paclitaxel was 22.1 months (95% CI:19.2, 30.5) and the median survival for placebo with paclitaxel was 28.3 months (95% CI:19.1, NR).


14.5 Small Cell Lung Cancer



The efficacy of TECENTRIQ with carboplatin and etoposide was investigated in IMpower133 (NCT02763579), a randomized (1:1), multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 403 patients with ES-SCLC. IMpower133 enrolled patients with ES-SCLC who had received no prior chemotherapy for extensive stage disease and ECOG performance status 0 or 1. The trial excluded patients with active or untreated CNS metastases, history of autoimmune disease, administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization, or administration of systemic immunosuppressive medications within 1 week prior to randomization. Randomization was stratified by sex, ECOG performance status, and presence of brain metastases. Patients were randomized to receive one of the following two treatment arms:

  • TECENTRIQ 1200 mg and carboplatin AUC 5 mg/mL/min on Day 1 and etoposide 100 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 2 and 3 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 cycles followed by TECENTRIQ 1200 mg once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or
  • placebo and carboplatin AUC 5 mg/mL/min on Day 1 and etoposide 100 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 2, and 3 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 cycles followed by placebo once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Administration of TECENTRIQ was permitted beyond RECIST-defined disease progression. Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks following Cycle 1, Day 1 and then every 9 weeks thereafter. Patients treated beyond disease progression had tumor assessment conducted every 6 weeks until treatment discontinuation.

    Major efficacy outcome measures were OS and PFS as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1 in the intent-to-treat population. Additional efficacy outcome measures included ORR and DoR as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1.

    A total of 403 patients were randomized, including 201 to the TECENTRIQ arm and 202 to the chemotherapy alone arm. The median age was 64 years (range 26 to 90) and 65% were male. The majority of patients were White (80%); 17% were Asian, 4% were Hispanic and 1% were Black. Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (35%) or 1 (65%); 9% of patients had a history of brain metastases, and 97% were current or previous smokers.

    Efficacy results are presented in Table 28 and Figure 6.

14.6 Hepatocellular Carcinoma



The efficacy of TECENTRIQ in combination with bevacizumab was investigated in IMbrave150 (NCT03434379), a multicenter, international, open-label, randomized trial in patients with locally advanced unresectable and/or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma who have not received prior systemic therapy. Randomization was stratified by geographic region (Asia excluding Japan vs. rest of world), macrovascular invasion and/or extrahepatic spread (presence vs. absence), baseline AFP (<400 vs. ≥400 ng/mL), and by ECOG performance status (0 vs. 1).

A total of 501 patients were randomized (2:1) to receive either TECENTRIQ as an intravenous infusion of 1200 mg, followed by 15 mg/kg bevacizumab, on the same day every 3 weeks or sorafenib 400 mg given orally twice daily, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients could discontinue either TECENTRIQ or bevacizumab (e.g., due to adverse events) and continue on single-agent therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity associated with the single-agent.

The study enrolled patients who were ECOG performance score 0 or 1 and who had not received prior systemic treatment. Patients were required to be evaluated for the presence of varices within 6 months prior to treatment, and were excluded if they had variceal bleeding within 6 months prior to treatment, untreated or incompletely treated varices with bleeding, or high risk of bleeding. Patients with Child-Pugh B or C cirrhosis, moderate or severe ascites; history of hepatic encephalopathy; a history of autoimmune disease; administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization; administration of systemic immunostimulatory agents within 4 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to randomization; or untreated or corticosteroid-dependent brain metastases were excluded. Tumor assessments were performed every 6 weeks for the first 54 weeks and every 9 weeks thereafter.

The demographics and baseline disease characteristics of the study population were balanced between the treatment arms. The median age was 65 years (range: 26 to 88) and 83% of patients were male. The majority of patients were Asian (57%) or White (35%); 40% were from Asia (excluding Japan). Approximately 75% of patients presented with macrovascular invasion and/or extrahepatic spread and 37% had a baseline AFP ≥400 ng/mL. Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (62%) or 1 (38%). HCC risk factors were Hepatitis B in 48% of patients, Hepatitis C in 22%, and 31% of patients had non-viral liver disease. The majority of patients had BCLC stage C (82%) disease at baseline, while 16% had stage B, and 3% had stage A.

The major efficacy outcome measures were overall survival (OS) and independent review facility (IRF)-assessed progression free survival (PFS) per RECIST v1.1. Additional efficacy outcome measures were IRF-assessed overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST and mRECIST.

Efficacy results are presented in Table 29 and Figure 7.

Figure 7: Kaplan-Meier Plot of Overall Survival in IMbrave150

Exploratory analyses showed that the subset of patients (20%) who were ADA-positive by week 6 appeared to have reduced efficacy (effect on OS) as compared to patients (80%) who tested negative for treatment-emergent ADA by week 6 [see Adverse Reactions (6.2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. ADA-positive patients by week 6 appeared to have similar overall survival compared to sorafenib-treated patients. In an exploratory analysis, inverse probability weighting was conducted to compare ADA-positive patients and ADA-negative patients in the TECENTRIQ and bevacizumab arm to the sorafenib arm. Inverse probability weighting factors were: baseline sum of longest tumor size (BSLD), baseline ECOG, baseline albumin, baseline LDH, sex, age, race, geographic region, weight, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, AFP (<400 ng/mL vs ≥400 ng/mL), number of metastatic sites, MVI and/or EHS present at study entry, etiology (HBV vs. HCV vs. non-viral) and Child-Pugh Score (A5 vs. A6). The OS hazard ratio comparing the ADA-positive subgroup of the TECENTRIQ and bevacizumab arm to sorafenib was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.57, 1.53). The OS hazard ratio comparing the ADA-negative subgroup to sorafenib was 0.39 (95% CI: 0.26, 0.60).


14.7 Melanoma



The efficacy of TECENTRIQ in combination with cobimetinib and vemurafenib was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized (1:1), placebo-controlled, multicenter trial (IMspire150; NCT02908672) conducted in 514 patients. Randomization was stratified by geographic location (North America vs. Europe vs. Australia, New Zealand, and others) and baseline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) [less than or equal to upper limit of normal (ULN) vs. greater than ULN]. Eligible patients were required to have previously untreated unresectable or metastatic BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma as detected by a locally available test and centrally confirmed with the FoundationOne™ assay. Patients were excluded if they had history of autoimmune disease; administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to randomization; administration of systemic immunostimulatory agents within 4 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to randomization; and active or untreated CNS metastases.

TECENTRIQ was initiated after patients received a 28-day treatment cycle of cobimetinib 60 mg orally once daily (21 days on / 7 days off) and vemurafenib 960 mg orally twice daily Days 1-21 and 720 mg orally twice daily Days 22-28. Patients received TECENTRIQ 840 mg intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks in combination with cobimetinib 60 mg orally once daily and vemurafenib 720 mg orally twice daily, or placebo in combination with cobimetinib 60 mg orally once daily and vemurafenib 960 mg orally twice daily. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. There was no crossover at the time of disease progression. Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks (± 1 week) for the first 24 months and every 12 weeks (± 1 week) thereafter.

The major efficacy outcome measure was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) per RECIST v1.1. Additional efficacy outcomes included PFS assessed by an independent central review, investigator-assessed ORR, OS, and DOR.

The median age of the study population was 54 years (range: 22-88), 58% of patients were male, 95% were White, a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 (77%) or 1 (23%), 33% had elevated LDH, 94% had metastatic disease, 60% were Stage IV (M1C), 56% had less than three metastatic sites at baseline, 3% had prior treatment for brain metastases, 30% had liver metastases at baseline, and 14% had received prior adjuvant systemic therapy. Based on central testing, 74% were identified as having a V600E mutation, 11% as having V600K mutation, and 1% as having V600D or V600R mutations.

Efficacy results are summarized in Table 30 and Figure 8. Patients had a median survival follow up time of 18.9 months.

What is the most important information I should know about TECENTRIQ?
TECENTRIQ is a medicine that may treat certain cancers by working with your immune system. TECENTRIQ can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in any area of your body and can affect the way they work. These problems can sometimes become severe or life-threatening and can lead to death. You can have more than one of these problems at the same time. These problems may happen anytime during your treatment or even after your treatment has ended.
Call or see your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worse signs or symptoms, including: Lung problems.
  • cough
  • shortness of breath
  • chest pain
Intestinal problems.
  • diarrhea (loose stools) or more frequent bowel movements than usual
  • stools that are black, tarry, sticky, or have blood or mucus
  • severe stomach-area (abdomen) pain or tenderness
Liver problems.
  • yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes
  • severe nausea or vomiting
  • pain on the right side of your stomach area (abdomen)
  • dark urine (tea colored)
  • bleeding or bruising more easily than normal
Hormone gland problems.
  • headaches that will not go away or unusual headaches
  • eye sensitivity to light
  • eye problems
  • rapid heart beat
  • increased sweating
  • extreme tiredness
  • weight gain or weight loss
  • feeling more hungry or thirsty than usual
  • urinating more often than usual
  • hair loss
  • feeling cold
  • constipation
  • your voice gets deeper
  • dizziness or fainting
  • changes in mood or behavior, such as decreased sex drive, irritability, or forgetfulness
Kidney problems.
  • decrease in your amount of urine
  • blood in your urine
  • swelling of your ankles
  • loss of appetite
Skin problems.
  • rash
  • itching
  • skin blistering or peeling
  • painful sores or ulcers in mouth or nose, throat, or genital area
  • fever or flu-like symptoms
  • swollen lymph nodes
Problems can also happen in other organs.
These are not all of the signs and symptoms of immune system problems that can happen with TECENTRIQ. Call or see your healthcare provider right away for any new or worse signs or symptoms, including:
  • chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, or swelling of ankles
  • confusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems, tingling or numbness of the arms or legs
  • double vision, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain, changes in eye sight
  • persistent or severe muscle pain or weakness, muscle cramps
  • low red blood cells, bruising
Infusion reactions that can sometimes be severe or life-threatening. Signs and symptoms of infusion reactions may include:
  • chills or shaking
  • itching or rash
  • flushing
  • shortness of breath or wheezing
  • dizziness
  • feeling like passing out
  • fever
  • back or neck pain
Complications, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), in people who have received a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic). These complications can be serious and can lead to death. These complications may happen if you underwent transplantation either before or after being treated with TECENTRIQ. Your healthcare provider will monitor you for these complications.
Getting medical treatment right away may help keep these problems from becoming more serious.
Your healthcare provider will check you for these problems during your treatment with TECENTRIQ. Your healthcare provider may treat you with corticosteroid or hormone replacement medicines. Your healthcare provider may also need to delay or completely stop treatment with TECENTRIQ if you have severe side effects.
What is TECENTRIQ?
TECENTRIQ is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with:
  • a type of bladder and urinary tract cancer called urothelial carcinoma. TECENTRIQ may be used when your bladder cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery, and if you have any one of the following conditions:
    • you are not able to take chemotherapy that contains a medicine called cisplatin, and your cancer tests positive for "PD-L1", or
    • you are not able to take chemotherapy that contains any platinum regardless of "PD-L1" status
    • a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
      • TECENTRIQ may be used alone as your first treatment when your lung cancer:
        • has spread or grown, and
        • your cancer tests positive for "high PD-L1", and
        • your tumor does not have an abnormal "EGFR" or "ALK" gene.
        • TECENTRIQ may be used with the medicines bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin as your first treatment when your lung cancer:
          • has spread or grown, and
