- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of AEs (irAEs + non-irAEs, irAEs, non-irAEs) and incidence of AEs over CTCAE grade 3 ;Symptom improvement in fatigue and skeletal muscle loss ;Objective response rate (ORR) with Atezolizumab
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Early termination rate and withdrawal period of Atezolizumab, early termination rate due to reaching above CTCAE grade 3;Among ADR of Atezolizumab single therapy in clinical trial, incidence of 17 events, among AEs above CTCAE Grade 3 and incidence rate over 1% & incidence of 3 events, among irAE with incidence rate over 1% ;Among ADR of Atezolizumab combined therapy in clinical trial, incidence of 9 events, among AEs above CTCAE Grade 3 and incidence rate over 1%;Relationship between immune parameter values and outcomes of Atezolizumab/Bojungilkki-tang treatment or patient's cold-heat pattern type
