Contra Indications

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.
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.
Complications of Allogeneic HSCT: Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic HSCT before or after being treated with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and use of effective contraception.
Monitoring Parameters
Monitor for signs and symptoms of infusion- and immune-related reactions.
Monitor for early identification and management. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment.
Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregnancy
Based on its mechanism of action, can cause fetal harm when administered during pregnancy
No available data on use in pregnant women
Animal data
Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-related rejection of the developing fetus, resulting in fetal death
Contraception
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 5 months following the last dose
Infertility
Based on animal studies, atezolizumab may impair fertility in females of reproductive potential while receiving treatment
Lactation
Unknown if distributed in human breast milk
As human IgG is excreted in human milk, potential for absorption and harm to the infant is unknown
Advise lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment and for at least 5 months after the last dose

Mechanism of Action
Monoclonal antibody to programmed cell death ligand-1 protein (PDL1); binding PDL1 blocks the interaction between PDL-1 and its ligands (including B7.1 receptors)
PDL-1
PDL1 is expressed on the surface of activated T cells under normal conditions; binding PDL1 inhibits immune activation and reduces T-cell cytotoxic activity when bound
This negative feedback loop is essential for maintaining normal immune responses and limits T-cell activity to protect normal cells during chronic inflammation
Tumor cells may circumvent T-cell–mediated cytotoxicity by expressing PDL1 on the tumor itself or on tumor-infiltrating immune cells, resulting in the inhibition of immune-mediated killing of tumor cells
