Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new drug, GDC-1971, combined with an existing treatment, atezolizumab, in patients with advanced or spreading solid tumors. It includes specific cancers like certain lung cancers, head and neck cancers, and melanoma. The goal is to see if this combination can better help the immune system find and destroy cancer cells. Atezolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that has shown efficacy in combination with other treatments for various cancers.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. However, since the trial involves new treatments, it's possible that some medications might need to be adjusted. Please consult with the trial coordinators for specific guidance.

What data supports the idea that GDC-1971 + Atezolizumab for Advanced Solid Cancers is an effective drug?

The available research shows that Atezolizumab, when used alone, has shown effectiveness in treating advanced bladder cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. For bladder cancer, it improved survival rates and had a favorable safety profile. In lung cancer, it extended survival compared to another drug, docetaxel. However, there is no specific data provided on the combination of GDC-1971 and Atezolizumab for advanced solid cancers, so we can't directly assess its effectiveness from the information given.12345

What safety data is available for the treatment with GDC-1971 and Atezolizumab?

Atezolizumab, also known as Tecentriq, has been evaluated in several clinical trials for different types of cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), urothelial carcinoma, and bladder cancer. The safety profile of Atezolizumab has been deemed acceptable, with common adverse reactions including fatigue, decreased appetite, dyspnea, cough, nausea, musculoskeletal pain, and constipation. More severe grade 3 to 4 adverse events include dyspnea, pneumonia, hypoxia, hyponatremia, fatigue, anemia, musculoskeletal pain, and liver enzyme increases. Immune-related adverse events such as pneumonitis, hepatitis, colitis, and thyroid disease have been observed in a small percentage of patients. The safety data for GDC-1971 specifically is not detailed in the provided research, but Atezolizumab's safety profile is well-documented across multiple studies.12356

Is the drug Atezolizumab, used in the trial GDC-1971 + Atezolizumab for Advanced Solid Cancers, a promising treatment?

Yes, Atezolizumab is a promising drug because it has shown to improve survival rates and has been approved for treating certain advanced cancers like bladder and lung cancer. It works by boosting the body's immune response against tumors, leading to better outcomes for patients.13467

Treatment Details

Interventions

  • Atezolizumab (Monoclonal Antibodies)
  • GDC-1971 (Other)
  • Omeprazole (Other)
Trial OverviewThe study tests GDC-1971 combined with Atezolizumab to assess safety and effectiveness against various advanced solid tumors. It has two parts: finding the right dose and then expanding to more patients with different tumor types based on PD-L1 levels or BRAF status.
Participant Groups
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Expansion Stage: GDC-1971Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will receive GDC-1971 orally at the assigned dose QD on Days 1-21 of each cycle and atezolizumab 1200 mg IV on Day 1 of each cycle until unacceptable toxicity or loss of clinical benefit. A subset of participants will participate in evaluations regarding tablet vs capsule formulation, the effect of food and acid-reducing agents on GDC-1971.
Group II: Dose-finding Stage: GDC-1971Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive GDC-1971 tablet or capsule at assigned dose, orally once daily (QD) on Days 1-21 of each cycle, along with atezolizumab 1200 milligrams (mg) intravenous (IV) infusion once every 3 weeks (Q3W), until unacceptable toxicity or loss of clinical benefit. A subset of participants will participate in evaluations regarding tablet versus (vs) capsule formulations.
