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

Yes No Not Sure

Inclusion Criteria

Age greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of signature of informed consent
Participants with an incurable solid tumour who have undergone whole genome and transcriptome analysis (WGTA) as part of Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) or equivalent program
Participants must have had successful sequencing of their tumour, been formally reviewed by the POG 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), and allocated to a specific tumour-defined cohort (that is open for enrolment) with a final opinion documented
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
Participants must have measurable disease, as defined by RECIST 1.1
Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
Adequate hematologic and end-organ function, as defined by the following laboratory results obtained within 28 days prior to the first study treatment
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1500 cells/L without granulocyte colonystimulating factor support
White blood cell (WBC) counts > 2500/L
Lymphocyte count 500/L
Serum albumin 2.5 g/dL
Platelet count 100,000/L without transfusion (without transfusion within 2 weeks of laboratory test used to determine eligibility)

International normalized ratio (INR) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) 1.5 Upper Limit of Normal (ULN). This applies only to participants who are not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation; participants receiving therapeutic anticoagulation must have an INR or aPTT within therapeutic limits for at least 1 week prior to enrolment
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 2.5 ULN with the following exceptions: i) Participants with documented liver metastases: AST and/or ALT 5 ULN. ii) Participants with documented liver or bone metastases: ALP 5 ULN
Serum bilirubin 1.5 ULN. Participants with known Gilbert's syndrome who have serum bilirubin level 3 ULN may be enrolled
Serum creatinine 1.5 ULN
For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of less than 1% (one percent) per year during the treatment period and for at least 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab
For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse with a female partner of childbearing potential or who is pregnant) or use contraceptive measures that result in a failure rate of less than 1% (one percent) per year, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm, during the treatment period and for at least 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab
Ability to give informed consent for the study procedures defined in this protocol

Exclusion Criteria

Any prior treatment with monoclonal antibodies targeting the Programmed Death 1/Ligand (PD-1/PD-L1) axis, including antibody-drug conjugates and other experimental agents
Treatment with any approved or investigational agent or participation in another clinical trial with therapeutic intent within 14 days or five half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer, prior to enrollment
Asymptomatic participants with treated or untreated central nervous system (CNS) lesions are eligible provided that all of the following criteria are met
Measurable disease, per RECIST v1.1, must be present outside the CNS
