Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate the effects of atezolizumab on select cancer types in people whose analysis of tumour DNA and RNA indicates they may be sensitive to atezolizumab. This study aims to determine if the information from the cancer genome analysis corresponds with the effects of atezolizumab on individuals and their cancer. This is a Phase 2 study, which is undertaken after preliminary safety testing on a drug is completed, and will involve approximately 200 participants. Participants are assigned to one of 8 cohorts based on their primary tumour type: breast, lung, gastrointestinal (GI), primary unknown, genitourinary (GU), sarcoma, gynecological, and 'other' cancer types. Participants in all cohorts will receive the same dose of atezolizumab (1200 mg every 3 weeks). In the first stage for each cohort, 8 participants will be enrolled and if no participants respond to treatment, enrollment to that cohort will be closed. If 1 or more participants respond to treatment, up to 16 additional participants will be enrolled to that cohort. Participants continue on treatment until they no longer may benefit from the treatment or they decide to stop treatment.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of signature of informed consent.

Participants must have had successful sequencing of their tumour, been formally reviewed by the POG (or POG-approved) genome analysts and found to have CAPTIV-8 factors identified (including Immune, Burden, Variant (IBV) score = 5), been reviewed at the Molecular Tumour Board (MTB) (or site equivalent), and allocated to a specific tumour-defined cohort (that is open for enrolment) with a final opinion documented.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Putative markers of sensitivity to atezolizumab in each tumour-defined cohort	From blood and tissue samples collected throughout the study, identify putative markers of sensitivity to atezolizumab based on the response to treatment of the participants in each tumour-defined cohort.	From the date of screening sample collection until the date of progression, withdrawal, or date of death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 54 months.
Other	Putative primary and secondary resistance markers to atezolizumab in each tumour-defined cohort	From blood and tissue samples collected throughout the study, identify putative primary and secondary resistance markers to atezolizumab based on the response to treatment of the participants in each tumour-defined cohort.	From the date of screening sample collection until the date of progression, withdrawal, or date of death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 54 months.
Other	Putative germline predictors of adverse events or toxicities of interest in each tumour-defined cohort	From blood and tissue samples collected throughout the study, identify putative germline predictors of adverse events or toxicities of interest to atezolizumab based on the response to treatment of the participants in each tumour-defined cohort.	From the date of screening sample collection until the date of progression, withdrawal, or date of death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 54 months.
Other	Compare the utility of iRECIST for response assessment to RECIST 1.1 in each tumour-defined cohort	Participant response to treatment as per RECIST 1.1. compared to the response to treatment as per the modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumours for immunotherapy trials (iRECIST) from screening until progression in each tumour-defined cohort.	From the date of the screening scan (within 28 days of first dose) until the date of progression, withdrawal, or date of death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 54 months.
Primary	Overall response rate (ORR) in each tumour-defined cohort, as defined by RECIST 1.1	The proportion of participants in each tumour-defined cohort who have a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to treatment, as defined by RECIST 1.1.	From the date of the screening scan (within 28 days of first dose) until the date of confirmed progression, withdrawal, or date of death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 54 months.
Secondary	Progression-free survival (PFS) in each tumour-defined cohort from the initiation of atezolizumab	The length of time from the first dose of atezolizumab until participants in each tumour-defined cohort have progressive disease (PD), as defined by RECIST 1.1.	From the date of first dose until the date of confirmed progression, withdrawal, or date of death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 54 months.
Secondary	Clinical benefit rate (CBR) in each tumour-defined cohort at the 18-week follow-up scan	The percentage of participants in each tumour-defined cohort who have a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) response to treatment, as defined by RECIST 1.1, at the 18-week follow-up scan.	From the date of the screening scan (within 28 days of first dose) until the date of the 18-week follow-up scan.
Secondary	Overall survival (OS) in each tumour-defined cohort from the initiation of atezolizumab	The length of time from the initiation of atezolizumab that participants in each tumour-defined cohort survive.	From the date of first dose until the date of death, assessed up to 54 months.
Secondary	Quality-adjusted survival in each tumour-defined cohort from the initiation of atezolizumab	Survival time (from the initiation of atezolizumab) multiplied by quality of life. Participants' responses to health-related quality of life questions on the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire will be converted to utility weights using existing conversion scales that are based on patient and public valuations of the health states described by the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire.	From the date of first dose until the treatment discontinuation visit (within 30 days of last dose), withdrawal, or date of death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 54 months.
Secondary	Duration of response (DoR) in each tumour-defined cohort	The length of time from the first response to treatment (CR or PR) until participants in each tumour-defined cohort have progressive disease (PD), as defined by RECIST 1.1.	From the date of the scan that shows the first response to treatment until the date of progression, withdrawal, or date of death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 54 months.
