Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial

Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Binding of PD-L1 to the PD-1 and B7.1 receptors found on T cells suppresses cytotoxic T-cell activity through the inhibition of T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. PD-L1 may be expressed on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, and can contribute to the inhibition of the antitumor immune response in the microenvironment. Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial is an Fc-engineered humanized immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody that directly binds to PD-L1 and blocks interactions with the PD-1 and B7.1 receptors, releasing PD-L1 / PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including reactivating the antitumor immune response. Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial leaves the PD-L2/PD-1 interaction intact. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-L1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth

Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial is a humanized monoclonal antibody used to prevent the interaction of PD-L1 and PD-1, removing inhibition of immune responses seen in some cancers. This drug has a long duration of action as it is usually given every 3-4 weeks. Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial should not be used in patients with immune mediated penumonitis, hepatitis, colitis, and some endocrinopathies.

Uses

Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial is used for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC):

  • After prior chemotherapy, or
  • Who are considered cisplatin ineligibleand whose tumours have a PD-L1 expression ≥ 5%, or
  • Who are not eligible for any platinum-containing chemotherapy regardless of level of tumor PD-L1 expression.
Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial is used for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC after prior chemotherapy.
Pediatric use: The safety and efficacy of Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial in children and adolescents below 18 years of age have not been established.

Geriatric use: Based on a population pharmacokinetic analysis, no dose adjustment of Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial is required in patients ≥ 65 years of age

Renal impairment: Based on a population pharmacokinetic analysis, no dose adjustment is required in patients with renal impairment

Hepatic impairment: Based on a population pharmacokinetic analysis, no dose adjustment is required for patients with mild hepatic impairment. There are no data in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment

Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), Urothelial carcinoma ureter metastatic, Locally advanced Urothelial Carcinoma

How Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial works

Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial is a humanized IgG antibody that binds PD-L1, preventing its interaction with PD-1 and B7-1. Preventing the interaction of PD-L1 and PD-1 removes inhibition of immune responses such as the anti-tumor immune response but not antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity.

Dosage

Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial dosage

General: Tecentriq IV Infusion 1200 mg/vial must be administered as an intravenousinfusion under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. Do not administer as an IV push or bolus.

  • 1200 mg administered by IV infusion every 3 weeks or
  • 1680 mg administered by IV infusion every 4 weeks.
1L cisplatin-ineligible mUC: Patients should be selected for treatment based on the tumor expression of PD-L1 confirmed by a validated test
