Atezolizumab is given as an intravenous infusion at 1200 mg every 3 weeks. Pirfenidone is taken by mouth 3 times a day with the dose increasing every 2 week until day 30

  • Other names: Pirfenidone

Treatment Experimental

Atezolizumab (Tecentriq) intravenous (IV) 1200mg flat dose day 1 then every 3 weeks. Pirfenidone (Esbriet) orally (PO) with food according to this schedule: Days 1-14: 267 milligrams (mg) orally three times per day (PO TID) Days 15-29: 534 mg PO TID Days 30 onward until progression: 801 mg PO TID
