The name of the product is Polivy Intravenous Infusion, 30 milligram or 140 milligrams, and the generic name is polatuzumab vedotin, genetical recombination.

The name Polivy has been coined with Po coming from its generic name, polatuzumab vedotin, liv standing for life and y derived from the symbol for an antibody as it is an antibody drug conjugate.
