Summary

This trial is testing a new combination treatment for advanced kidney cancer that has not responded to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced non-clear cell kidney cancer, including various subtypes like Papillary RCC and Chromophobe RCC. Participants must have measurable disease, be in relatively good health (ECOG ≤ 2), able to follow study procedures, and use effective contraception. Excluded are those with recent significant cardiovascular events, organ transplants, active infections like HIV or hepatitis B/C, certain allergies or hypersensitivities to trial drugs' components, other cancers within the last two years (with exceptions), brain metastases unless stable for at least four weeks.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab as potential treatments for advanced non-clear cell kidney cancer. It aims to see how well these drugs work together in treating this specific type of cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the drug components; increased risk of infection; high blood pressure; proteinuria which is excess protein in urine indicating kidney damage; bleeding issues; gastrointestinal complications such as fistulas or perforations; and potentially severe skin reactions.
