Patients using or requirement to use while on the study of any not permitted concomitant medications : ▪ Any approved anti-cancer systemic treatment including chemotherapy, hormonotherapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy other than atezolizumab, ▪ Any investigational agents, ▪ Live vaccines. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, yellow fever, rabies, BCG, and typhoid (oral) vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g. Flu-Mist®) are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed during the study active period, ▪ Traditional herbal medicines since the ingredients of many herbal medicines are not fully studied and their use may result in unanticipated drug-drug interactions that may cause or confound assessment of toxicity, ▪ Immunostimulatory agents, including but not limited to IFNα, IFN-γ, or IL-2, during the entire study. These agents, in combination with atezolizumab, could potentially increase the risk for autoimmune conditions. In addition, all patients (including those who discontinue the study early) should not receive other immunostimulatory agents for 10 weeks after the last dose of atezolizumab, ▪ Immunosuppressive medications, including but not limited to cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, and thalidomide. These agents could potentially alter the activity and the safety of atezolizumab. Systemic corticosteroids and anti−TNF-α agents may attenuate potential beneficial immunologic effects of treatment with atezolizumab but may be administered to manage irAE (See Safety Plan). If feasible, alternatives to these agents should be considered."}
