  • Genentech receives FDA approval for Tecentriq Hybreza cancer treatment
  • Treatment for lung, liver, skin and soft tissue cancer in adults
  • Subcutaneous injection takes about 7 minutes vs. 30-60 minutes for IV infusion of Tecentriq
  • Combines Tecentriq with drug-delivery technology for increased tissue permeability
  • Approval based on Phase IB/III IMscin001 study results

Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, has received FDA approval for its cancer treatment Tecentriq Hybreza. This new subcutaneous injection can treat certain types of lung, liver, skin and soft tissue cancer in adults and takes only about seven minutes to administer, compared to 30-60 minutes for a standard IV infusion of Tecentriq. The treatment combines Tecentriq with drug-delivery technology that increases the permeability of the tissue, according to Genentech. The FDA approval is based on data from the company’s Phase IB/III IMscin001 study, which showed comparable levels of Tecentriq in the blood and a safety and efficacy profile consistent with the IV formulation.
