Mechanism of action

Atezolizumab binds to programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) on tumor cells and immune cells, preventing interaction with PD-1 and restoring anti-tumor T-cell immunity. The addition of recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) degrades hyaluronic acid in subcutaneous tissue, enabling faster absorption and improved pharmacokinetics of the antibody when administered subcutaneously rather than intravenously.
