Tecentriq (atezolizumab) and Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) are monoclonal antibodies used to treat different types of cancer.

Tecentriq is used to treat patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (cancer) who have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy, or have disease progression within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy.

Trodelvy is used to treat adult patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received at least two prior therapies for metastatic disease.
