▼Tecentriq is subject to additional monitoring in Great Britain. This will allow quick identification of new safety information. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions. In Northern Ireland, a black triangle is not required for Tecentriq and it is not subject to additional monitoring.
Adverse events should be reported. Reporting forms and information can be found at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard or search for MHRA Yellow Card in the Google Play or Apple App Store. Adverse events should also be reported to Roche Products Ltd. Please contact Roche Drug Safety Centre by emailing welwyn.uk_dsc@roche.com or calling +44(0)1707 367554.
As Tecentriq is a biological medicine, healthcare professionals should report adverse reactions by brand name and batch number.
Prescribing Information
TECENTRIQ®▼(atezolizumab) Great Britain
TECENTRIQ® (atezolizumab) Northern Ireland
TECENTRIQ provides an extra first-line treatment option for patients with metastatic NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression.2–4 Compared with platinum-based chemotherapy, it can give patients the chance of:
Physicians should note that, before demonstrating a long-term survival benefit with atezolizumab, a higher proportion of patients on atezolizumab (16/107) died within 2.5 months of study randomisation, compared with 10/98 in the chemotherapy arm and as such, physicians should consider the delayed onset of atezolizumab effect before initiating first-line treatment as monotherapy in patients with NSCLC3,4

IMpower110 study design
- IMpower110 was a randomised, open-label, multicentre, phase III trial which assessed the efficacy and safety of TECENTRIQ compared with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with metastatic NSCLC whose disease was
PD-L1 positive and was not EGFR-mutant or ALK-positive, and who had not previously received chemotherapy1,6
Primary endpoint1
- OS in patients without EGFR mutations or ALK translocations
- OS was tested hierarchically:
- TC3 or IC3 population (PD-L1 expression on ≥50% of tumour cells or ≥10% of tumour-infiltrating immune cells)
- TC2/3 or IC2/3 population (PD-L1 expression on ≥5% of tumour cells or tumour-infiltrating immune cells)
- TC1/2/3 or IC1/2/3 population (PD-L1 expression on ≥1% of tumour cells or tumour-infiltrating immune cells)
Key secondary endpoints1
- Investigator-assessed PFS according to RECIST, v1.1
- ORR
- DoR
- OS and investigator-assessed PFS according to RECIST, version 1.1 in prespecified subgroups with respect to PD-L1 expression (defined by the SP263 immunohistochemical assay) and blood-based tumour mutational burden
- Safety (assessed in all treated patients regardless of PD-L1 expression, EGFR or ALK status)
- IMpower110 was a randomised, open-label, multicentre, phase III trial which assessed the efficacy and safety of TECENTRIQ compared with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with metastatic NSCLC whose disease was

Baseline characteristics
- Baseline characteristics were generally balanced between treatment groups1
*The TC1/2/3 or IC1/2/3 population was defined as patients with PD-L1 expression on ≥1% of tumour cells or tumour-infiltrating immune cells. The TC3 or IC3 population was defined as patients with PD-L1 expression on ≥50% of tumour cells or ≥10% of tumour-infiltrating immune cells. Both population are comprised of patients who did not have EGFR-mutant or ALK-positive disease.
†Race was reported by the patients. One patient in the TECENTRIQ TC1/2/3 or IC1/2/3 population was categorised as having multiple races (not shown).

In the TC/IC3 population, 64.9% of patients treated with TECENTRIQ lived for at least 1-year7
15.7 months’ median follow-up (range 0–35 months).
Adapted from Herbst1 and Data on File M-GB-000033647
- The 18-month OS rate was 54.6% (95% CI: 43.4–65.7) with TECENTRIQ vs 27.3% (95% CI: 15.5–39.1) with chemotherapy5
- In the IMpower110 trial, treatment with TECENTRIQ could continue after disease progression in patients who had a continued clinical benefit1
-
For the TC/IC3 population, PFS was 8.1 months with TECENTRIQ compared with 5.0 months with platinum-based chemotherapy¹
Median PFS – secondary endpoint1

In the TC/IC3 population, 36.9% of patients treated with TECENTRIQ lived for at least 1 year without disease progression1

ORR and DoR – secondary endpoints¹
In the TC/IC3 population, TECENTRIQ achieved an objective response in 38.3% of patients vs 28.6% with platinum-based chemotherapy1
15.7 months’ median follow-up (range 0–35 months).
Adapted from Herbst1- At data cut-off, responses were ongoing in 68.3% of patients treated with TECENTRIQ vs 35.7% of patients with chemotherapy1

Patients’ overall HRQoL was sustained through to week 57 with TECENTRIQ and declined from week 42 with platinum-based chemotherapy⁵
- Patients’ overall HRQoL remained clinically stable through to week 57 of treatment with TECENTRIQ5
- Patients treated with chemotherapy experienced a clinically meaningful decline in overall HRQoL from week 42 onwards5
