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 three open-label, single arm studies (PCD4989g, BIRCH, FIR) which enrolled 1636 patients with metastatic NSCLC, and 980 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%).
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue, including the following: immune-mediated pneumonitis, immune-mediated colitis, immune-mediated hepatitis, immune-mediated endocrinopathies, immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions, immune-mediated nephritis and renal dysfunction, and solid organ transplant rejection.
( 5.1 ) Monitor for early identification and management.
Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment.
( 5.1 ) Withhold or permanently discontinue based on severity and type of reaction.
Infusion-Related Reactions : Interrupt, slow the rate of infusion, or permanently discontinue based on severity of infusion reactions.
Like all medications, Tecentriq can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
