What Is Polivy?
Polivy (generic name: polatuzumab vedotoin-piiq) is a drug created and approved to treat diffuse large B-Cell Lymphoma in adult patients. DLBCL affects the white blood cells in the body and reduces the ability of the body’s immune system to fight off infections.
Polivy can only be used to treat DLBCL after two other medications and therapy options have failed to improve the condition. This means you can only treat DLBCL with Polivy if the condition has relapsed or is resistant to other treatment options. Two other cancer treatments known as 利妥昔单抗 and bendamustine are used in combination with Polivy in treating DLBCL.
How Polivy Works
The active ingredient in Polivy is known as polatuzumab vedotin-piiq. This agent is an antibody-drug conjugate, which attaches to the antibody known as the CD76b protein. The attachment of Polivy to the CD76b protein makes it easy for the active ingredient to target B-cells in the body, including malignant cells.
The drug locates the desired B-cells and then releases its active ingredient, destroying the white blood B-cells. The drug also targets and destroys cancerous B-cell lymphocytes. After the initial dose, the medication begins to take effect. However, the doctor may need to run some tests in order to ensure the medication’s efficacy.

Dosage Information
The appropriate dose of Polivy used to treat DLBCL depends on many factors. The main factors are weight and side effects that may develop. Your doctor will consider some of these factors in determining the right Polivy dosage for you.
The medication usually comes as a liquid in a vial that is mixed with sterile water.
Polivy comes in two possible drug strengths: 30 mg and 140 mg per vial. The dosage to treat DLBCL with Polivy is 1.8 mg per kg. Thus, your weight will determine the right dosage for you. For instance, a person weighing 77 kg would need one 140 mg vial for one infusion.
If you miss an infusion appointment, call the healthcare facility where you receive the infusions and reschedule as soon as possible. You should also inform the doctor about the missed appointment, which may affect your treatment schedule.
