No dose reduction for TECENTRIQ is recommended. In general, withhold TECENTRIQ for severe (grade 3) immune-mediated ARs. Permanently discontinue TECENTRIQ for life-threatening (grade 4) immune-mediated ARs, recurrent severe (grade 3) immune-mediated reactions that require systemic immunosuppressive treatment, or an inability to reduce corticosteroid dose to 10 mg or less of prednisone or equivalent per day within 12 weeks of initiating steroids.
In general, if TECENTRIQ requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated ARs are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy.
Any ARs that require management different from the general guidelines above are summarized in the following tabs. For more information, please refer to the TECENTRIQ Prescribing Information.

Patient symptoms may include
When adverse reaction recovers to grade 1 or is resolved and corticosteroid dose is less than or equal to prednisone 10 mg per day (or equivalent)
If no complete or partial resolution within 12 weeks of initiating steroids or inability to reduce prednisone to 10 mg per day or less (or equivalent) within 12 weeks of initiating steroids
Patient symptoms may include
ALT=alanine aminotransferase; AR=adverse reaction; AST=aspartate aminotransferase; DRESS=drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms; HCC=hepatocellular carcinoma; SJS=Stevens-Johnson syndrome; TEN=toxic epidermal necrolysis; ULN=upper limit of normal.
*If AST and ALT are less than or equal to ULN at baseline, withhold or permanently discontinue TECENTRIQ based on recommendations for hepatitis with no liver involvement. For patients with HCC, please see the Adverse Reaction Profile.
