Clinical Trial Summary

Radiation can induce immunogenic cell death, local release of inflammatory cytokines, and damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) resulting in local effects on endothelial cell expression of adhesion receptors, increased immune cell trafficking, and immune cell activation. Dose, fractionation, and volume of radiation can influence immunologic effects in the tumor microenvironment. Nonclinical studies suggest that despite an initial local depletion of lymphocytes, hypofractionated regimens of radiation may be immune activating. Additionally, recent work suggests that standard fractionation and hypofractionation induce expansion of unique immune populations with standard fractionation favoring a myeloid response and hypofractionation driving a lymphoid response that may be more favorable to adaptive anti-tumor immunity. Compared to high doses of radiation, which induce immunogenic cell death, dose-dependent increases of MHC-I and death receptors, moderate fractional doses of 3-10 Gy may be optimal for activating a type I IFN response in tumor cells via a dose-dependent increase in the cytoplasmic leakage of DNA from micronuclei, which activates the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase/stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS/STING) pathway. Extensive experimental evidence indicates that radiotherapy can work in synergy with immunotherapy to generate T cells that reject not only the irradiated tumor but also the metastases outside of the field of irradiation, which offers a rationale for utilizing radiotherapy to enhance response to immunotherapy where tumors are unlikely to respond to immunotherapy alone.

Description:

All patients will receive 1200mg atezolizumab administered by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle after completion of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for 21(+5) days. No escalations or reductions in the dose of the investigational product will be allowed.Following the administration of atezolizumab, patients will receive 600mg tiragolumab administered by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The tiragolumab dose is fixed and is not dependent on body weight.

Of note, laboratory data will not be valid if the patient has received a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or blood transfusion within 14 days before testing.

• 1. Women of childbearing potential are defined as all women after the onset of menstruation who are not postmenopausal and have not been surgically sterilized (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy). Postmenopause is defined as amenorrhea for =12 consecutive months without specific reasons. Women using oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, or mechanical contraception such as contraceptive barriers are regarded as having childbearing potential.

• 2. The subject must consent to use any two of the following methods of contraception: vasectomy or condom for patients who are male or female subject's partner and tubal ligation, contraceptive diaphragm, intrauterine device, spermicide, or oral contraceptive for patients who are female or male subject's partner.

6. Patients with concurrent autoimmune disease or history of chronic or recurrent autoimmune disease

7. Patients with a current or past history of interstitial lung disease or pulmonary fibrosis diagnosed based on imaging or clinical findings.
