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 commonadverse 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.
Urothelial Carcinoma
Cisplatin-Ineligible Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
The safety of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in IMvigor210 (Cohort 1), 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 received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks until either unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. The median duration of exposure was 15 weeks (0 to 87 weeks).
Five patients (4.2%) who were treated with TECENTRIQ experienced one of the following events which led to death: sepsis, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, or respiratory distress. One additional patient (0.8%) was experiencing herpetic meningoencephalitis and disease progression at the time of death.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 37% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (≥ 2%) were diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, sepsis, acute kidney injury, and renal failure.
TECENTRIQ was discontinued for adverse reactions in 4.2% of patients. The adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were diarrhea/colitis (1.7%), fatigue (0.8%), hypersensitivity (0.8%), and dyspnea (0.8%).
Adverse reactions leading to interruption occurred in 35% of patients; the most common (≥ 1%) were intestinal obstruction, fatigue, diarrhea, urinary tract infection, infusion-related reaction, cough, abdominal pain, peripheral edema, pyrexia, respiratory tract infection, upper respiratory tract infection, creatinine increase, decreased appetite, hyponatremia, back pain, pruritus, and venous thromboembolism.
Tables 1 and 2 summarize the adverse reactions and Grades 3–4 selected laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in patients who received TECENTRIQ in IMvigor210 (Cohort 1).

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. 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 9 and 10 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. 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 11 and 12 summarize adverse reactions and selected laboratory abnormalities worsening from baseline in the TECENTRIQ treated patients.

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. 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.

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. 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. 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. The presence of ADA did not increase the incidence or severity of adverse reactions.
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. 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. 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; .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.There are insufficient numbers of patients with positive ADA to determine whether ADA alters the efficacy or incidence or severity of adverse reactions.
