Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Progression-free survival (PFS) at 1 year after initiation of treatment. A PFS
event is defined as RECIST 1.1 progressive disease (appearance of new lesions
or progression of existing target/nontarget lesions) or death from any cause.
Secondary outcome
- Overall Survival (OS) rate at 2 years in the full study population
- Feasibility of combining immunotherapy with radiotherapy as measured by
number of patients who complete the combined modality treatment (Arm A).
Completion is defined as having received at least 90% of planned radiation
doses.
- Locoregional Recurrence-free survival in patients treated with the
combination of radiotherapy and atezolizumab (arm A)
- Response rate for patients with measurable disease
- Median PFS (as measured by RECIST 1.1) and OS for the full study cohort (Arm
A+B)
- 2-year PFS (as measured by RECIST 1.1) and OS for PD-L1-positive patients in
the full study cohort (Arm A+B)
- Toxicity by CTCAE-NCI V4 in the combined modality arm
Background summary
Patients with advanced penile cancer have a poor prognosis (21% 2-year overall
survival from moment of diagnosis) and high morbidity due to progressive
locoregional disease. Translational studies show high rates of infiltrating
immune cells and PD-L1 positvity, suggesting that immunotherapy may be
beneficial in this disease. Atezolizumab, targeting PD-L1, is active in several
cancer types and is generally well-tolerated. This study will investigate
whether atezolizumab can be combined with radiotherapy to control locoregional
lymph node disease. Furthermore, the activity of atezolizumab in advanced
penile cancer patients will be investigated.
Study objective
The primary objective is efficacy of atezolizumab in advanced penile cancer
patients measured by progression-free survival.
Study design
This is a single-center, nonrandomized, Phase IB study with 2 treatment arms.
Intervention
All patients will receive atezolizumab, 1200 mg, every 3 weeks, by IV infusion.
Patients in group A will additionally receive 33 fractions of 1.5 or 1.8 Gy
irradiation on locoregional affected lymph nodes, concurrently with
atezolizumab treatment.
Study burden and risks
Patients will be treated every 3 weeks with atezolizumab for one year or until
loss of clinical benefit. Atezolizumab is generally well tolerated although
immune-related toxicity does occur. Toxicity of combining atezolizumab with a
long course of radiotherapy is unknown and may result in increased toxicity. It
is unknown whether atezolizumab will induce responses in patients with advanced
penile cancer.
*In exceptional cases, in consultation with the principal investigator and
after careful consideration of the pros and cons with the subject, an
additional 1 year of treatment may be administered. This will only happen in
the case of clinical benefit and good tolerance and therefore does not change
the consideration in terms of risk/burden*.

Age
Inclusion criteria
- Age >= 18 years at time of study entry., - Advanced histologically
documented, squamous cell carcinoma of the penis or distal urethra. Advanced
disease is defined as:, -Distant metastases, OR, -LRAPC, defined as a large or
inoperable primary tumor (T4), palpable nodes >3cm in diameter or fixed
nodes, suspicion of extra-nodal extension or pelvic node involvement (N2/N3),
Arm A: Locoregional disease (with or without distant metastases), likely to
derive benefit from locoregional radiotherapy and not previously treated with
radiotherapy., Arm B: Benefit of locoregional radiotherapy unlikely OR
previously treated with irradiation. , Adequate normal organ and marrow
function as defined below: , -Haemoglobin >= 5.6/mmol/L, -White blood cell
count (WBC) >= 2 x 109/L (> 1500 per mm3), -Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >=
1.5 x 109/L (> 1500 per mm3), -Platelet count >= 100 x 109/L (>100,000 per
mm3), -Serum bilirubin <= 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). This
will not apply to subjects with confirmed Gilbert*s syndrome, who will be
allowed in consultation with a study physician., -AST/ALT <= 2.5 x institutional
ULN unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be <= 5x ULN.,
-Serum creatinine clearance >30 mL/min by calculation with the
Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine
collection measurement.
Exclusion criteria
1. Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both
Roche staff and/or staff at the study site). Previous enrolment in the present
study., 2. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational
product during the last 4 weeks, 3. Any previous treatment with a PD1 or PD-L1
inhibitor, 4. History of another primary malignancy except for:, •Malignancy
treated with curative intent and with no known active disease >=2 years before
the first dose of study drug, •Low potential risk of 3-year cancer-specific
death (estimated<5%), including adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer
without evidence of disease, adequately treated carcinoma in situ without
evidence of disease, or localized prostate cancer treated with curative intent
and absence of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse or incidental prostate
cancer (Gleason score <= 7 and PSA < 10 ng/mL) undergoing active
surveillance., 5. Treatment with the last dose of any systemic anti-cancer
therapy <= 21 days prior to the first dose of study drug. Local treatment of
isolated lesions for palliative intent is acceptable (eg, local surgery or
radiotherapy). , 6. Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within
14 days before the first dose of study drug, with the exceptions of intranasal
and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at systemic doses
below <= 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid., 7. History
