- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 764
- Age >= 18 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of <= 1
- Able to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator’s judgment
- Pathologically confirmed RCC with a component of either clear cell histology or sarcomatoid histology that has not been previously treated in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting. Patient enrolled based on localized disease include those with T2 Grade 4, T3a Grade 3-4, T3b/c any grade, T4 any grade and TxN + any grade are eligible. -- Patients with pulmonary (treated with sub-lobar or lobar resection), lymph node, or soft-tissue metachronous recurrence of disease occurring greater than 12 months following nephrectomy who undergo complete
resection and have no evidence of disease following metastasectomy are
also eligible. Patients with resected CNS, bone or adrenal metastasis are
not eligible
- Patients with synchronous isolated solitary ipsilateral or contralateral
adrenal and lung metastases treatable with a sub-lobar or lobar
resection within 12 weeks of nephrectomy are eligible
- Radical or partial nephrectomy with lymphadenectomy in select patients
- Representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded resected tumor specimens in paraffin blocks or at least 15 unstained slides, with an associated pathology report, for central testing and determined to be evaluable for tumor programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression prior to study enrollment
- Absence of residual disease and absence of metastasis, as confirmed by a negative baseline computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis, abdomen, and chest no more than 4 weeks prior to randomization. Confirmation of disease-free status will be assessed by an independent central radiologic review of imaging data.
- Absence of brain metastasis, as confirmed by a negative CT with contrast or magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain, no more than 4 weeks prior to randomization for those enrolled based upon a metastasectomy
- Full recovery from nephrectomy or metastasectomy within 12 weeks from randomization following surgery
- Adequate hematologic and end-organ function within 28 days prior to randomization
- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period for at least 5 months after the last dose of study drug, and agreement to refrain from donating eggs during this same period

F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 230

F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 534
- Bilateral synchronous tumors with inheritable forms of RCC including
von Hippel-Lindau
- Any approved anti-cancer therapy, including chemotherapy or
hormonal therapy, within 3 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
o Hormone-replacement therapy or oral contraceptives are allowed.
- Treatment with any other investigational agent or participation in
another clinical study with therapeutic intent within 28 days or five halflives
of the investigational agent, whichever is longer, prior to
enrollment
- Central nervous system metastases or leptomeningeal disease
- Malignancies other than RCC within 5 years prior to Cycle (C) 1, Day
(D) 1.
o Patients with low-risk prostate cancer (defined as Stage cT1/T2a,
Gleason score < or = 6 and PSA < or = 10 ng/mL) who are treatmentnaive
or who have been treated definitively with surgery or radiation and
who are currently undergoing surveillance are eligible.
o Patients with malignancies of a negligible risk of metastasis or death
(e.g., risk of metastasis or death <5% at 5 years) are eligible provided
they meet all of the following criteria: Malignancy treated with expected
curative intent (e.g., adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix,
basal or squamous cell skin cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ of the
breast treated surgically with curative intent). No evidence of
recurrence or metastasis by follow-up imaging and any disease-specific
tumor markers
- Life expectancy of < 24 weeks
- Pregnancy or lactation, or intending to become pregnant during the
study
- Serum albumin < 2.5 g/dL
- History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins
- Known hypersensitivity or allergy to biopharmaceuticals produced in
Chinese hamster ovary cells or any component of the atezolizumab formulation
- History of autoimmune diseases. Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism and Type 1 diabetes mellitus on a
stable dose of hormone or insulin replacement may be eligible for this
study. Patients with well controlled, limited autoimmune skin conditions may be eligible.
- Patients with prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation
- History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, drug-induced pneumonitis,
organizing pneumonia, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT scan
- Significant cardiovascular disease, such as New York Heart
Association cardiac disease (Class III or greater), myocardial infarction
within 3 months prior to initiation of study treatment, unstable
arrhythmias, or unstable angina
- Patients with a known left ventricular ejection fraction <40%.
- Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus
- Patients with active hepatitis B and hepatitis C
- Active tuberculosis
- Severe infections within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
- Receipt of therapeutic oral or intravenous antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
- Major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study
treatment or anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during
the course of the study other than for diagnosis
- Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to
initiation of study treatment
- Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination
finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a
disease or condition that contraindicates the use
