What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment for individuals with advanced solid tumors that current options cannot cure. The researchers aim to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the experimental drug RO7566802, both alone and in combination with atezolizumab (also known as Tecentriq, an immunotherapy drug). Participants will initially receive increasing doses of RO7566802, followed by a set dose with atezolizumab, to determine the optimal dosage. This trial may suit individuals with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you stop any anti-cancer therapy, including chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or radiotherapy, at least 3 weeks before starting the study treatment. Other medications are not specifically mentioned, so it's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

Research shows that the combination of RO7566802 and atezolizumab is being tested for safety in people with advanced solid tumors. Since this marks the first human trial of RO7566802, researchers closely monitor participants' responses. Although no prior data exists on RO7566802 alone, atezolizumab has FDA approval for other cancers, indicating general safety, though it may cause side effects like tiredness or skin rash.

In this study, researchers begin with low doses and gradually increase them to determine a safe level. This method helps ensure that any side effects remain manageable. The primary goal is to observe reactions and adjust the treatment as needed to maintain safety. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about the combination of RO7566802 and atezolizumab for advanced solid tumors because this approach targets the immune system in a novel way. Unlike traditional treatments that might directly attack cancer cells, RO7566802 works by potentially enhancing the immune system's ability to recognize and fight tumors. This combination therapy could offer a fresh angle by using RO7566802 to boost the efficacy of atezolizumab, an established immune checkpoint inhibitor. This strategy aims to improve outcomes for patients with advanced solid tumors where standard treatments may not be effective.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for advanced solid tumors?

Studies have shown that atezolizumab effectively treats certain cancers, such as bladder cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. It blocks a protein that helps cancer cells evade the immune system, enabling the body to attack the tumor. This trial tests RO7566802 to determine if it can amplify this effect. Early results suggest that combining RO7566802 with atezolizumab may enhance the immune system's response to tumors. Although more research is needed, this combination aims to improve treatment outcomes for people with advanced solid tumors. ^{1 2 3 4 6}

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Atezolizumab
• RO7566802

Trial Overview The study tests RO7566802 alone and combined with Atezolizumab to assess safety and early cancer-fighting ability. It's a two-stage process: first finding the right dose (dose escalation) then seeing how well it works (expansion).

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Dose Expansion Cohort Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Participants with select solid tumors will receive a recommended dose of RO7566802, determined in Dose Escalation phase, as an IV infusion in combination with a fixed dose of atezolizumab, as an IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Group II: Dose Escalation Cohort Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Participants in successive cohorts will receive escalating doses of RO7566802, as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle followed by RO7566802 in combination with a fixed dose of atezolizumab, as an IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
