Polatuzumab vedotin-piiq injection is used together with other cancer medicines (eg, bendamustine, rituximab) to treat diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back a second or later time or after at least 2 other medicines did not work well. Lymphoma is a type of cancer where the body makes abnormal white blood cells.
Polatuzumab vedotin-piiq injection is also used together with other medicines (eg, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone) to treat previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), not otherwise specified (NOS) or high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL), and who have an International Prognostic Index score of 2 or more.
Polatuzumab vedotin-piiq interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are then destroyed by the body.
