What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) on two consecutive tumor assessments ≥4 weeks apart, as determined by the investigators using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). CR was defined as disappearance of all lesions. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, in the absence of CR, new lesions, and unequivocal progression in non-target lesions.

    Measured: Up to approximately 31 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival was defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause. The median for OS is Kaplan-Meier estimate. 95% CI for median was computed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.

    Measured: Up to approximately 31 months

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by the investigator(s), using RECIST v1.1, or to death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Disease progression was defined as ≥20% increase in in the sum of diameters of target lesions, unequivocal progression in non-target lesions, and/or appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Up to approximately 31 months

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR was defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented, confirmed objective response to disease progression as determined by the investigator, using RECIST v1.1, or to death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Objective response was defined as a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) on two consecutive tumor assessments ≥4 weeks apart. CR was defined as disappearance of all lesions. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, in the absence of CR, new lesions, and unequivocal progression in non-target lesions. Disease progression was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, unequivocal progression in non-target lesions, and/or appearance of new lesions. Presented here is median DOR at the time of primary analysis. The median for the duration of response is Kaplan-Meier estimate. 95% CI for median was computed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.

    Measured: Up to approximately 22 months

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR was defined as the percentage of participants with a complete response (CR), a partial response (PR), or stable disease at 16 weeks as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all lesions. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, in the absence of CR, new lesions, and unequivocal progression in non-target lesions. Stable disease was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for CR or PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for disease progression. Disease progression was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, unequivocal progression in non-target lesions, and/or appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: At 16 weeks

  5. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

    Measured: Up to approximately 31 months

  6. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Cobimetinib

    Cmax is the maximum (or peak) concentration that a study drug achieves in the body.

    Measured: Day 15 of Cycle 3 (cycle is 28 days): 2-4 hours after cobimetinib dose

  7. Minimum Plasma Concentration (Cmin) of Cobimetinib

    Cmin is the minimum (or trough) concentration that a study drug achieves in the body.

    Measured: Day 15 of Cycle 3 (cycle is 28 days): prior to cobimetinib dose

  8. Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Atezolizumab

    Cmax is the maximum (or peak) concentration that a study drug achieves in the body.

    Measured: 30 minutes following end of atezolizumab infusion on Day 15 of Cycle 3 (each cycle is 28 days)

  9. Minimum Serum Concentration (Cmin) of Atezolizumab

    Cmin is the minimum (or trough) concentration that a study drug achieves in the body.

    Measured: Prior to atezolizumab infusion on Day 1 of Cycles (each cycle is 28 days) 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16, Day 15 of Cycle 3

  10. Number of Participants With Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs)

    Participants were considered to be ADA positive if they were missing data at baseline but developed an ADA response following study drug administration (treatment-induced ADA response), or if they were ADA positive at baseline and the titer of one or more post-baseline samples was at least 4-fold greater (i.e., ≥0.60-titer units) than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment-enhanced ADA response). Participants were considered to be ADA negative if they were missing data at baseline, had a post-baseline ADA result, and all post-baseline samples were negative, or if they were ADA positive at baseline but did not have any post-baseline samples with a titer that was at least 4-fold greater than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment unaffected).

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycles (each cycle is 28 days) 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16; Day 15 of Cycle 3; at atezolizumab treatment discontinuation visit, and <90 days after last atezolizumab infusion (up to approximately 31 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cobimetinib, Atezolizumab and Atezolizumab Cohort 7 in people with Solid Tumors, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 19 sites in 6 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 28 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in United States, South Korea, Hungary, United Kingdom, Germany and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Mar 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to approximately 31 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 May 2021.
