For other immune-mediated reactions, based on the type and severity of the reaction, treatment with Tecentriq should be withheld for Grades 2 or 3 immune-related adverse reactions and corticosteroid therapy (1-2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) should be initiated. If symptoms improve to ≤ Grade 1, taper corticosteroids as clinically indicated. Treatment with Tecentriq may be resumed if the event improves to ≤ Grade 1 within 12 weeks, and corticosteroids have been reduced to ≤ 10 mg oral prednisone or equivalent per day.
Treatment with Tecentriq should be permanently discontinued for Grade 4 immune-related adverse reactions, or when unable to reduce corticosteroid dose to the equivalent of ≤ 10 mg prednisone per day within 12 weeks after onset.
