( 2.2 ) Melanoma Dosage Following completion of a 28-day cycle of cobimetinib and vemurafenib, administer TECENTRIQ HYBREZA every 3 weeks with cobimetinib 60 mg orally once daily (21 days on /7 days off) and vemurafenib 720 mg orally twice daily. ( 2.2 ) ASPS Dosage Administer TECENTRIQ HYBREZA every 3 weeks. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection for Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Melanoma Select adult patients with: Stage II to IIIA NSCLC for adjuvant treatment with TECENTRIQ HYBREZA as a monotherapy (following tumor resection and platinum-based chemotherapy) based on PD-L1 expression on tumor cells [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. Metastatic NSCLC for first-line treatment with TECENTRIQ HYBREZA as monotherapy based on the PD-L1 expression on tumor cells or on tumor-infiltrating immune cells [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. Unresectable or metastatic melanoma for treatment with TECENTRIQ HYBREZA in combination with cobimetinib and vemurafenib after confirming the presence of a BRAF V600 mutation [see Clinical Studies (14.4) ]. Information on FDA-approved tests for the determination of PD-L1 expression in metastatic NSCLC or for detection of BRAF V600 mutations in melanoma is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. 2.2 Important Dosage and Administration Information TECENTRIQ HYBREZA has different recommended dosage and administration than intravenous atezolizumab products. To reduce the risk of medication errors, prior to administration, check the vial labels to ensure that the drug being prepared is subcutaneously administered TECENTRIQ HYBREZA and not intravenously administered atezolizumab. Do not substitute TECENTRIQ HYBREZA for or with intravenous atezolizumab products because they have different recommended dosages. Adult patients who are treated with intravenous atezolizumab can switch to subcutaneous TECENTRIQ HYBREZA at their next scheduled dose. Adult patients who are treated with TECENTRIQ HYBREZA can switch to intravenous atezolizumab at their next scheduled dose. Pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who weigh 40 kg or greater and are treated with intravenous atezolizumab can switch to subcutaneous TECENTRIQ HYBREZA at their next scheduled dose [see Indications and Usage (1.5) ]. Pediatric patients who are treated with TECENTRIQ HYBREZA can switch to intravenous atezolizumab at their next scheduled dose. TECENTRIQ HYBREZA is for subcutaneous use in the thigh only. Administer over approximately 7 minutes. Inject in healthy skin and never into areas where the skin is red, bruised, tender, or hard. When possible, alternate injections between the left and right thigh. Ensure the injection site is at least 2.5 cm from the previous site. Do not administer TECENTRIQ HYBREZA intravenously. TECENTRIQ HYBREZA must be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not administer the remaining volume in the tubing to the patient. If using concomitant subcutaneous drugs, administer at sites other than the thighs. 2.3 Recommended Dosage and Administration Instructions The recommended dosage of TECENTRIQ HYBREZA in adult patients and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older who weigh 40 kg or greater) is one 15 mL injection (containing 1,875 mg of atezolizumab and 30,000 units of hyaluronidase, referred to as TECENTRIQ HYBREZA) administered subcutaneously in the thigh over approximately 7 minutes every 3 weeks. The recommended dosage for pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who weigh less than 40 kg has not been established [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Administration instructions for TECENTRIQ HYBREZA as monotherapy and in combination with other therapeutic agents are presented in Table 1 . For the recommended dosage of each therapeutic agent administered in combination with TECENTRIQ HYBREZA refer to the product's respective Prescribing Information. Table 1: TECENTRIQ HYBREZA Administration Instructions and Duration of Therapy Indication Administration Instructions for TECENTRIQ HYBREZA Duration of Therapy Adjuvant Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Administer TECENTRIQ HYBREZA as monotherapy Up to one year, unless there is disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Administer TECENTRIQ HYBREZA prior to chemotherapy and bevacizumab when given on the same day. Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Small Cell Lung Cancer Administer TECENTRIQ HYBREZA prior to chemotherapy when given on the same day. Hepatocellular Carcinoma Administer TECENTRIQ HYBREZA prior to bevacizumab when given on the same day. Bevacizumab is administered intravenously at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks. Melanoma Prior to initiating TECENTRIQ HYBREZA, patients should receive the following 28-day treatment cycle of cobimetinib and vemurafenib: Days 1 to 21: cobimetinib 60 mg orally once daily in combination with 960 mg of oral vemurafenib twice daily Days 22 to 28: withhold cobimetinib and administer vemurafenib 720 mg orally twice daily Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma Administer TECENTRIQ HYBREZA as monotherapy Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity 2.4 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions No dose reduction for TECENTRIQ HYBREZA is recommended. In general, withhold TECENTRIQ HYBREZA for severe (Grade 3) immune-mediated adverse reactions. Permanently discontinue TECENTRIQ HYBREZA 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 the daily corticosteroid dosage to 10 mg or less of prednisone or equivalent corticosteroid dosage within 12 weeks of initiating corticosteroids. Dosage modifications for TECENTRIQ HYBREZA for adverse reactions that require management different from these general guidelines are summarized in Table 2 . Table 2: Recommended Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Adverse Reaction Severity Based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5 Dosage Modification ALT = alanine aminotransferase, AST = aspartate aminotransferase, ULN = upper limit normal, DRESS = Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms, SJS = Stevens Johnson syndrome, TEN = toxic epidermal necrolysis Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Pneumonitis Grade 2 Withhold Resume in patients with complete or partial resolution (Grade 0 to 1) after corticosteroid taper.

Grades 3 or 4 Permanently discontinue 2.5 Preparation Instructions TECENTRIQ HYBREZA does not contain any antimicrobial preservative. If the TECENTRIQ HYBREZA dose is not administered immediately, refer to "Storage Instructions" [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ]. Remove the vial from the refrigerator and allow the solution to acclimate to room temperature. Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Discard the vial if the solution is cloudy, discolored, or visible particles are observed. Do not shake, freeze, or dilute. The unpunctured vial may be stored at room temperature in ambient light for a maximum of 4 hours prior to the preparation for administration. Use an 18-gauge transfer needle and syringe to withdraw the entire contents of the TECENTRIQ HYBREZA solution from the vial. Discard the vial and any residual drug remaining. TECENTRIQ HYBREZA is compatible with stainless steel transfer and injection needles, and polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, and polyurethane syringe material and subcutaneous administration sets. Remove the transfer needle from the syringe and replace it with a subcutaneous administration set (e.g. winged/butterfly) containing 23-gauge, 24-gauge, or 25-gauge hypodermic needle and with a priming volume that does not exceed 0.5 mL for administration. Prime the subcutaneous administration line with TECENTRIQ HYBREZA to eliminate the air in the line and stop when the fluid reaches the needle. Ensure the syringe contains exactly 15 mL of TECENTRIQ HYBREZA after priming the administration line by expelling any excess volume from the syringe. Administer immediately to avoid needle clogging. Discard any unused portion remaining. 2.6 Storage Instructions Do not store the prepared syringe that has been attached to the already-primed subcutaneous administration set. If the prepared syringe containing TECENTRIQ HYBREZA is not for immediate use, do not attach a subcutaneous administration set. The capped syringe may be stored at room temperature [at up to 25°C (77°F)] in ambient room lighting for up to 8 hours and in the refrigerator [2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F)] for up to 72 hours. Do not shake or freeze. If the prepared syringe is stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F), allow the syringe to acclimate to room temperature prior to administration.
