Summary

This trial is studying a combination of atezolizumab and cobimetinib to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

See full description
Who is the study for?
Adults with metastatic, recurrent, or treatment-resistant non-small cell lung cancer who have previously not responded well to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. Participants must be over 18, have measurable disease, and acceptable organ function. Those with certain gene mutations may join specific cohorts. Pregnant women and individuals with uncontrolled diseases or recent significant adverse events from cancer therapies are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of atezolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) and cobimetinib (a kinase inhibitor for cancers with a mutated BRAF gene) in patients whose lung cancer has spread or resisted previous treatments. The study aims to see if this drug combo is more effective than current standard care.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions that can affect organs, fatigue, liver issues, digestive problems like diarrhea and nausea, skin rash, hormonal gland problems leading to hormone imbalances, muscle pain or weakness.
