Uses of Tecentriq
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
TECENTRIQ, as a single-agent, is indicated as adjuvant treatment following resection and platinum-based chemotherapy for adult patients with stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have PD-L1 expression on ≥ 1% of tumor cells, as determined by an FDA-authorized test. 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 or PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells covering ≥ 10% of the tumor area ), as determined by an FDA-authorized 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, 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.
Small Cell Lung Cancer TECENTRIQ, in combination with carboplatin and etoposide, is indicated for the first-line treatment of adult patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). TECENTRIQ, in combination with lurbinectedin, is indicated for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with ES-SCLC whose disease has not progressed after first-line induction therapy with TECENTRIQ or atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs, carboplatin and etoposide.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma TECENTRIQ, in combination with bevacizumab, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have not received prior systemic therapy.
Melanoma TECENTRIQ, in combination with cobimetinib and vemurafenib, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with BRAF V600 mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma
TECENTRIQ, as a single agent, is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with unresectable or metastatic alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS).
Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
TECENTRIQ, as a single agent, is indicated as adjuvant treatment of adult patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) after cystectomy who have circulating tumor DNA molecular residual disease (ctDNA MRD) as determined by an FDA-authorized test.
Dosage & Administration of Tecentriq
Recommended Dosage
The recommended dosages of TECENTRIQ are presented in Table 1. Administer TECENTRIQ as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes. If the first infusion is tolerated, all subsequent infusions may be delivered over 30 minutes.
Refer to the respective Prescribing Information for each therapeutic agent administered in combination with TECENTRIQ for the recommended dosage information, as appropriate. Table 2: Recommended Dosage of TECENTRIQ in Combination with Other Therapeutic Agents s No dose reduction for TECENTRIQ is recommended. In general, withhold TECENTRIQ for severe (Grade 3) immune-mediated adverse reactions.
Permanently discontinue TECENTRIQ for life-threatening (Grade 4) immune-mediated adverse reactions, recurrent severe (Grade 3) immune-mediated reactions that require systemic immunosuppressive treatment, or an inability to reduce corticosteroid dose to 10 mg or less of prednisone or equivalent per day within 12 weeks of initiating steroids. Dosage modifications for TECENTRIQ for adverse reactions that require management different from these general guidelines are summarized in Table 3. Table 3: Recommended

Warnings & Cautions for Tecentriq
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. 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.
Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis TECENTRIQ can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis. The incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation. Pneumonitis led to permanent discontinuation of TECENTRIQ in 0.5% and withholding of TECENTRIQ in 1.5% of patients.
Systemic corticosteroids were required in 55% (46/83) of patients with pneumonitis. Pneumonitis resolved in 69% of the 83 patients. Of the 39 patients in whom TECENTRIQ was withheld for pneumonitis, 25 reinitiated TECENTRIQ after symptom improvement; of these, 4% had recurrence of pneumonitis.

Thyroid disorders TECENTRIQ can cause immune-mediated thyroid disorders. Thyroiditis can present with or without endocrinopathy. Hypothyroidism can follow hyperthyroidism.
Initiate hormone replacement for hypothyroidism or medical management for hyperthyroidism as clinically indicated. Thyroiditis did not lead to permanent discontinuation of TECENTRIQ in any of these patients, but led to withholding of TECENTRIQ in one patient. Hormone replacement therapy was required in 75% (3/4) of patients with thyroiditis.
Systemic corticosteroids were required in 25% (1/4) of patients with thyroiditis. Thyroiditis resolved in 50% of patients. The single patient in whom TECENTRIQ was withheld for thyroiditis reinitiated TECENTRIQ; this patient did not have recurrence of thyroiditis.
Hormone replacement therapy was required in 67% (4/6) of patients with thyroiditis. Systemic corticosteroids were required in 33% (2/6) of patients with thyroiditis. Hyperthyroidism did not lead to permanent discontinuation of TECENTRIQ in any of these patients, but led to withholding of TECENTRIQ in 0.1% of patients.
Antithyroid therapy was required in 29% (6/21) of patients with hyperthyroidism. Of these 6 patients, the majority remained on antithyroid treatment. Of the 3 patients in whom TECENTRIQ was withheld for hyperthyroidism, one patient reinitiated TECENTRIQ; this patient did not have recurrence of hyperthyroidism.
Antithyroid therapy was required in 38% (12/32) of patients with hyperthyroidism. Of the 14 patients in whom TECENTRIQ was withheld for hyperthyroidism, 9 patients reinitiated TECENTRIQ. Hyperthyroidism led to permanent discontinuation of TECENTRIQ in 0.4% and withholding of TECENTRIQ in 10% of patients.

The majority of patients with hypothyroidism required long term thyroid replacement. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, which can present with Diabetic Ketoacidosis Monitor patients for hyperglycemia or other signs and symptoms of diabetes. Initiate treatment with insulin as clinically indicated.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus led to permanent discontinuation of TECENTRIQ in one patient and withholding of TECENTRIQ in two patients. Treatment with insulin was required for all patients with confirmed Type 1 diabetes mellitus and insulin therapy was continued long-term. Of the 2 patients in whom TECENTRIQ was withheld for Type 1 diabetes mellitus, both re-initiated TECENTRIQ treatment.
Immune-Mediated Nephritis with Renal Dysfunction TECENTRIQ can cause immune-mediated nephritis. Nephritis led to permanent discontinuation of TECENTRIQ in this patient. This patient required systemic corticosteroids.
In this patient, nephritis did not resolve. Nephritis led to permanent discontinuation of TECENTRIQ in 0.4% and withholding of TECENTRIQ in 0.9% of patients. Systemic corticosteroids were required in 67% (2/3) of patients with nephritis.
Nephritis resolved in all 3 of these patients. Of the 2 patients in whom TECENTRIQ was withheld for nephritis, both reinitiated TECENTRIQ after symptom improvement and neither had recurrence of nephritis. Immune-Mediated Dermatologic Adverse Reactions TECENTRIQ can cause immune-mediated rash or dermatitis.
Exfoliative dermatitis, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), DRESS, and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), has occurred with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Topical emollients and/or topical corticosteroids may be adequate to treat mild to moderate non-exfoliative rashes. Dermatologic adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of TECENTRIQ in 0.1% and withholding of TECENTRIQ in 0.2% of patients.
Systemic corticosteroids were required in 20% (3/15) of patients with dermatologic adverse reactions. Dermatologic adverse reactions resolved in 87% of the 15 patients. Of the 4 patients in whom TECENTRIQ was withheld for immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions, none re-initiated TECENTRIQ.
Other Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions The following clinically significant immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred at an incidence of < 1% (unless otherwise noted) in patients who received TECENTRIQ or were reported with the use of other PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Severe or fatal cases have been reported for some of these adverse reactions. Cardiac/Vascular: Myocarditis, pericarditis, vasculitis.
Nervous System: Meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis and demyelination, myasthenic syndrome/myasthenia gravis (including exacerbation), Guillain-Barré syndrome, nerve paresis, autoimmune neuropathy. Ocular: Uveitis, iritis, and other ocular inflammatory toxicities can occur. Some cases can be associated with retinal detachment.
Various grades of visual impairment, including blindness, can occur. If uveitis occurs in combination with other immune-mediated adverse reactions, consider a Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like syndrome, as this may require treatment with systemic steroids to reduce the risk of permanent vision loss. Gastrointestinal: Pancreatitis to include increases in serum amylase and lipase levels, gastritis, duodenitis.
Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue: Myositis/polymyositis, rhabdomyolysis and associated sequelae including renal failure, arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatic. Endocrine: Hypoparathyroidism. Hematologic/Immune: Hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi lymphadenitis), sarcoidosis, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, solid organ transplant rejection, other transplant (including corneal graft) rejection.
Other: Myocarditis-Myositis-Myasthenia Gravis (or Myasthenia-Like) Overlap Syndrome, reported as the co-occurence of either two or all three adverse reactions.
Infusion-Related Reactions TECENTRIQ can cause severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions, including anaphylaxis. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions. Interrupt, slow the rate of, or permanently discontinue TECENTRIQ based on the severity.
For Grade 1 or 2 infusion-related reactions, consider using pre-medications with subsequent doses. 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).
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.
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.
Pregnancy Safety for Tecentriq
Pregnancy Risk Summary 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 (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 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.
Pediatric Use of Tecentriq
Pediatric Use Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma The safety and effectiveness of TECENTRIQ for unresectable or metastatic ASPS have been established in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older. Use of TECENTRIQ for this indication is supported by evidence from an adequate and well controlled study of TECENTRIQ in adults and 2 adolescent pediatric patients (≥12 years of age) with ASPS with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients 2 years to <17 years. These data suggest that atezolizumab exposure in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older is comparable with that of adults and is expected to result in similar safety and efficacy to that of adults.
The course of unresectable or metastatic ASPS is sufficiently similar between pediatric patients 2 to 11 years old and that of adults and adolescent patients to allow extrapolation of efficacy and safety to pediatric patients 2 years and older. The safety and effectiveness of TECENTRIQ for ASPS have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 2 years of age. Solid Tumors and Lymphomas The safety and effectiveness of TECENTRIQ in pediatric patients have not been established in non-small cell lung cancer, small-cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma, or muscle invasive bladder cancer.
The safety and effectiveness 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.
Clinical Studies of Tecentriq
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Adjuvant Treatment of Stage II-IIIA NSCLC with PD-L1 Expression ≥ 1% The efficacy of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in IMpower010 (NCT02486718), a multi-center, randomized, open-label trial for the adjuvant treatment of patients with NSCLC who had complete tumor resection and were eligible to receive cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Eligible patients were required to have Stage IB (tumors ≥ 4 cm) – Stage IIIA NSCLC per the Union for International Cancer Control/American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system, 7th edition. Patients were excluded if they had a history of autoimmune disease; a history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis; 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.
A total of 1005 patients who had complete tumor resection and received cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy were randomized (1:1) to receive TECENTRIQ 1200 mg intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for 16 cycles, unless disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity occurred, or best supportive care (BSC). Randomization was stratified by sex, stage of disease, histology, and PD-L1 expression. Tumor assessments were conducted at baseline of the randomization phase and every 4 months for the first year following Cycle 1, Day 1 and then every 6 months until year five, then annually thereafter.
The majority of patients were White (73%) and Asian (24%). Most patients were current or previous smokers (78%) and baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status in patients was Overall, 12% of patients had Stage IB, 47% had Stage II and 41% had Stage IIIA disease. The primary efficacy outcome measure was disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator.
The primary efficacy analysis population (n = 476) was patients with Stage II – IIIA NSCLC with PD-L1 expression on ≥ 1% of tumor cells (PD-L1 ≥ 1% TC). DFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of occurrence of any of the following: first documented recurrence of disease, new primary NSCLC, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. A key secondary efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS) in the intent-to-treat population.
At the time of the interim DFS analysis, the study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in DFS in the PD-L1 ≥ 1% TC, Stage II – IIIA patient population. Efficacy results are presented in Table 26 and Figure 1. Table 26: Efficacy Results from IMpower010 in Patients with Stage II - IIIA NSCLC with PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% TC In a pre-specified secondary subgroup analysis of patients with PD-L1 TC ≥ 50% Stage II – IIIA NSCLC (n=229), the median DFS was not reached (95% CI: 42.3 months, NE) for patients in the TECENTRIQ arm and was 35.7 months (95% CI: 29.7, NE) for patients in the best supportive care arm, with a HR of Figure 1: Kaplan-Meier Plot of Disease-Free Survival in IMpower010 in Patients with Stage II – IIIA NSCLC with PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% TC At the time of the DFS interim analysis, 19% of patients in the PD-L1 ≥1% TC Stage II – IIIA patient population had died.
An exploratory analysis of OS in this population resulted in a stratified HR of Figure 1 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 or PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells covering ≥ 1% of the tumor area ), 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%).
Administration of TECENTRIQ was permitted beyond RECIST-defined disease progression. 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 majority of patients were White (82%) and Asian (17%).
Baseline ECOG performance status was 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. Efficacy results for patients with NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression are presented in Table 27 and Figure 2.
The investigator-assessed confirmed ORR was in the TECENTRIQ arm and in the platinum-based chemotherapy arm. Figure 2 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.
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.
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, excluding those with EGFR- and ALK-positive NSCLC ) 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.
Approximately 14% of patients had liver metastases at baseline, and most patients were current or previous smokers (80%). Baseline ECOG performance status was 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 28 and Figure 3.
Table 28: Efficacy Results in ITT-WT Population in IMpower150 in ITT-WT Population in IMpower150 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%). 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 The hazard ratio comparing the ADA-negative subgroup with its matched control was Figure 3 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. 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.
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.
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 29 and Figure 4. Table 29: Efficacy Results from IMpower130 in IMpower130 Figure 4 Previously Treated Metastatic NSCLC OAK 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). 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 or immune cells ). 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. Efficacy results are presented in Table 30 and Figure 5.
In an exploratory efficacy subgroup analysis of OS based on PD-L1 expression, the hazard ratio was in the high PD-L1 expression subgroup and in patients who did not have high PD-L1 expression. ADA positive patients by week 4 appeared to have similar OS compared to docetaxel-treated patients. The hazard ratio comparing the ADA positive subgroup with its matched control was The hazard ratio comparing the ADA negative subgroup with its matched control was IMpower133 enrolled patients with ES-SCLC who had received no prior chemotherapy for extensive stage disease and ECOG performance status 0 or 1.
Randomization was stratified by sex, ECOG performance status, and presence of brain metastases. 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. Baseline ECOG performance status was of patients had a history of brain metastases, and 97% were current or previous smokers.
Efficacy results are presented in Table 31 and Figure 6. Table 31: Efficacy Results from IMpower133 in IMpower133 Figure 6 IMforte The efficacy of TECENTRIQ in combination with lurbinectedin as maintenance treatment was evaluated in IMforte (NCT05091567), a randomized, multicenter, open-label study in patients with ES-SCLC. Patients were eligible if their disease had not progressed after completion of four cycles of TECENTRIQ, carboplatin and etoposide (induction treatment) and they had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
The trial excluded patients with CNS metastases, history of autoimmune disease, or administration of systemic immunosuppressive medications within 1 week prior to enrollment. Unless contraindicated, primary prophylaxis with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was mandated for patients assigned to the TECENTRIQ with lurbinectedin arm. The trial randomized 483 patients who had not experienced disease progression following the completion of four cycles of TECENTRIQ with carboplatin and etoposide to one of the following two treatment arms: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg IV in combination with lurbinectedin 3.2 mg/m 2 IV once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or TECENTRIQ 1200 mg IV once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Randomization was stratified by ECOG performance status prior to randomization (0 vs. 1), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (≤ ULN vs. > ULN) prior to randomization, presence of liver metastases prior to initial study enrollment (yes vs. no), and prior receipt of prophylactic cranial irradiation (yes vs. no).
The major efficacy outcome measures were OS and PFS by Independent Review Facility (IRF) per RECIST v1.1. A total of 483 patients were randomized, including 242 to the TECENTRIQ with lurbinectedin arm and 241 to the TECENTRIQ arm. Baseline ECOG performance status was Efficacy results are presented in Table 32 and Figures 7 and 8.

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). 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 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 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.
Additional efficacy outcome measures were IRF-assessed overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST and mRECIST. Efficacy results are presented in Table 33 and Figure 9. Table 33: Efficacy Results from IMbrave150 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.
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 The OS hazard ratio comparing the ADA-negative subgroup to sorafenib was Randomization was stratified by geographic location North America vs.
Europe vs. Australia, New Zealand, and others and baseline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). 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.
Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. There was no crossover at the time of disease progression. 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. 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 34 and Figure 10.
Patients had a median survival follow up time of 18.9 months. Table 34: Efficacy Results from IMspire150 in IMspire150 At a pre-specified analysis at the time of the primary analysis of PFS, the OS data were not mature. The hazard ratio for OS was and the p-value was 0.2310.

Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma
The efficacy of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in study ML39345 (NCT03141684), an open-label, single-arm study, in 49 adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older with unresectable or metastatic ASPS. Eligible patients were required to have histologically or cytologically confirmed ASPS that was not curable by surgery, and an ECOG performance status of ≤ 2. Patients were excluded if they had known primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy or symptomatic CNS metastases, known clinically significant liver disease, or history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonitis, organizing pneumonia, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan.
The major efficacy outcomes were Overall Response Rate (ORR) and Duration of Response (DOR) by Independent Review Committee according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. A total of 49 patients were enrolled. All patients had prior surgery for ASPS and 55% received at least one prior line of treatment for ASPS; 55% received radiotherapy and 53% received chemotherapy.
Of the patients who reported staging at initial diagnosis, all were Stage IV. Efficacy results of this study are summarized in Table 35. Table 35: Efficacy Results from Study ML39345
Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer IMvigor011
The efficacy of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in IMvigor011 (NCT04660344), a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for the adjuvant treatment of patients with MIBC after cystectomy who had circulating tumor DNA molecular residual disease (ctDNA MRD). The trial enrolled patients with histologically confirmed MIBC who underwent radical cystectomy with lymph node dissection. Eligible patients had pathologic tumor staging of pT2-4a and/or positive lymph nodes following cystectomy, with no evidence of residual disease or metastasis on imaging, confirmed within 28 days before randomization.
Patients were eligible regardless of whether they had received prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) or not. Patients were excluded if they had received any anti-cancer therapy within 3 weeks prior to trial enrollment or had a history of autoimmune disease. Serial ctDNA MRD testing was performed every 6 weeks for 9 months starting at least 6 weeks after cystectomy with a final test at one year.
Patients who did not develop ctDNA MRD within the testing period were monitored without study treatment, while those who had ctDNA MRD were screened for the treatment phase by confirming that they remained free of radiographic disease. The ctDNA MRD status was determined using either a Signatera™ clinical trial assay (whole exome-based tumor NGS sequencing and 16-plex NGS-based plasma sequencing) or a clinical trial assay performed locally in China. Randomization was stratified by nodal status (positive vs. negative), tumor stage (≤(y)pT2 vs. (y)pT3/pT4), PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) IC <5% vs.
IC ≥5%, and time from cystectomy to first ctDNA MRD positive sample (≤20 weeks vs. >20 weeks). Arm B: Placebo intravenously every 4 weeks on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle Treatment continued for up to 12 cycles or 1 year (whichever occurred first) unless there was disease recurrence, or unacceptable toxicity. A total of 48% of patients in the TECENTRIQ arm received prior platinum containing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Overall Survival (OS) was an additional efficacy measure. The study demonstrated statistically significant improvements in DFS and OS for patients randomized to the TECENTRIQ arm compared with placebo. Efficacy results are presented in Table 36 and Figures 11 and 12.
The unstratified HR for OS was median OS was not reached in either arm (95% CI: 21.1 months, not reached in the TECENTRIQ arm and 18.4 months, not reached in the placebo arm). Figure 11 Figure 12
