DATA

Manufacturer

Genentech, Inc.

Indication

Treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who:

  • Have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy
  • Have disease progression within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy

Cell Substrate

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells

Manufacturing platform

Humanized monoclonal antibody based on an IgG1 (kappa) framework containing humanized heavy chain VHIII and light chain V kappa I subgroup sequences. Atezolizumab is produced using a stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line. One of the clones resulting from this transfection was selected as the host cell for production cell-line construction. A two-tier cell banking system of master cell bank and working cell bank was developed and characterized in accordance with ICH guidelines.

Dose in vial/final container

1200 mg/20 mL (60 mg/mL)

Dose to patient

Initial infusion over 60 minutes through an intravenous line with or without a sterile, non-pyrogenic, low-protein binding in-line filter (pore size of 0.2–0.22 micron)
