Secondary outcome
Overall survival (OS) rate at 2 years, defined as the proportion of patients
remaining alive 2 years after initiation of study treatment
Background summary
Therapy with atezolizumab has been associated with significant survival
benefits in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in multiple
clinical trial settings. The improvement in OS was observed in all patients, as
well as in patients with differing histologies (squamous and non-squamous),
PD-L1 expression statuses, CNS involvement (with or without CNS metastases at
baseline), and anticancer response or PFS. Increasing amounts of evidence also
indicate that the atezolizumab treatment effect on OS correlated with the PD-L1
expression status as determined by the VENTANA SP142 PD-L1 assay. Furthermore,
across the NSCLC clinical developmental program, atezolizumab has been well
tolerated, demonstrating a manageable toxicity profile characterized by a low
frequency of mild to moderate AEs. Considering the data as a whole,
atezolizumab represents an important new treatment modality for patients with
locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
Given the high unmet need for new therapies for advanced NSCLC, it is of
considerable interest to evaluate atezolizumab in a population of advanced
patients that mimics more closely a standard clinical practice population. As a
first step in this process, the primary objective of Study MO39171 will be to
analyze the long-term safety of atezolizumab in a population of advanced NSCLC
patients that includes patients who would have been screened out of many of the
previous studies.
Study objective
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of atezolizumab in
patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed
following standard systemic chemotherapy (including if given in combination
with anti-PD-1 therapy or after anti-PD-1 as monotherapy).
Study design
Study MO39171 is a phase III/IV, single-arm, multicenter study of the long-term
safety and efficacy of atezolizumab treatment in patients with Stage IIIb or
Stage IV NSCLC who have progressed following standard systemic chemotherapy
(including if given in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy or after anti-PD-1 as
monotherapy).
The study will consist of a Screening Period (Day *28 to Day *1), a Treatment
Period, a Treatment Discontinuation Visit occurring * 30 days after the last
dose of study medication, and a Follow-Up Period. Day 1 (baseline) will be
defined as the first day the patient receives atezolizumab. It is anticipated
that the trial will enroll 600 patients at 140 sites globally.
Enrolled patients will receive atezolizumab at a fixed dose of 1200 mg
administered intravenously on the first day of each cycle. One cycle of therapy
will be defined as 21 days (± 3 days). Atezolizumab treatment will continue
until investigator-assessed loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity,
investigator or patient decision to withdraw from therapy, or death (whichever
occurs first).
Intervention
Atezolizumab 1200mg, every 3 weeks, administered intravenously
Study burden and risks
Systemic immune activation is a rare condition characterized by an excessive
immune response. Given the mechanism of action of atezolizumab, systemic immune
activation is considered a potential risk when given in combination with other
immunomodulating agents. Systemic immune activation should be included in the
differential diagnosis for patients who, in the absence of an alternative
etiology, develop a sepsis-like syndrome after administration of atezolizumab.

Inclusion criteria
-Signed Informed Consent Form;- Age * 18 years;- Able to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator*s judgment;- Histologically or cytologically documented Stage IIIb or Stage IV NSCLC that has progressed following standard systemic chemotherapy (including if given in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy or after anti-PD-1 as monotherapy). Patients with a previously detected EGFR mutation or ALK fusion oncogene must have received targeted therapy followed by one line of standard systemic chemotherapy prior to receiving atezolizumab. Overall, patients should not have received more than two lines of systemic chemotherapy. Patients who have discontinued first-line or second-line systemic chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or anti-PD-1 therapy due to intolerance are also eligible;*Staging must be according to the UICC/AJCC system, 7th edition (Detterbeck et al. 2009);*Pathological characterization may be conducted on tumor specimens from earlier stage disease, but the tumor samples must be sufficient to distinguish squamous or non-squamous histology;*Chemotherapy regimens will be counted based on interval disease progression, and not on the number of agents or the number of switches in agents (e.g., a first-line or second-line therapy that consists of several cycles of a platinum doublet and subsequent maintenance therapy that introduces or switches to a new chemotherapy agent without interval disease progression will all be considered one chemotherapy regimen);*Patients with a previously-detected sensitizing EGFR mutation must have experienced disease progression (during or after treatment) on an EGFR TKI (erlotinib, gefitinib, etc.) ;*Patients with a previously detected ALK fusion oncogene must have experienced disease progression (during or after treatment) with crizotinib, alectinib, or another ALK inhibitor;*Prior radiation therapy is allowed, provided that the patient has recovered from any toxic effects thereof. Combined radiation/chemotherapy treatment constitutes a single regimen;*Combined radiation/chemotherapy treatment (chemoradiation) counts as one prior chemotherapy regimen if < 6 months have elapsed between the last dose and the date of recurrence;*Adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy is not counted as a line of treatment;*Debulking surgery and anticancer agents used for pleurodesis are not counted as lines of therapy;- The last dose of prior systemic anticancer therapy or targeted therapy must have been administered * 21 days prior to randomization. The only exceptions to this rule are TKIs that have been approved for treatment of NSCLC, which must have been discontinued * 7 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1 (the baseline tumor scan must be obtained after discontinuation of prior TKIs; washout not required prior to obtaining the scan);- Measurable disease, as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1);- Patients with asymptomatic CNS metastases (treated or untreated), as determined by CT or MRI evaluation during screening and prior radiographic evaluation, are eligible;- ECOG performance status 0, 1, or 2 [Appendix 7];- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab;*A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarchal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (* 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus);*Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of * 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, established, proper use of hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices;*The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.
