A Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Atezolizumab in Combination With Other Immune-Modulating Therapies in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Registration Number
NCT02174172
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This global, multicenter, open-label study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of atezolizumab in combination with other immune-modulating therapies in the treatment of selected advanced or metastatic malignancies. The atezolizumab plus ipilimumab arm (Arm A) will focus primarily on participants with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The atezolizumab plus interferon alfa-2b arm (Arm B), plus pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG-interferon alfa-2a, Arm C), and atezolizumab plus PEG-interferon Alfa-2a plus bevacizumab (Arm D) will enroll participants with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), metastatic NSCLC and melanoma. The atezolizumab plus obinutuzumab) (Arm E) will enroll participants with recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Atezolizumab will be administered as intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (q3w).
