Frequently Asked Questions
Are there opportunities available for willing participants in this clinical trial?
"This clinical trial is not accepting any new participants at present. The information was initially published on the 1st of May 2018 and last updated on 15th August 2022. For those seeking additional medical trials, there are currently 3009 studies recruiting breast cancer patients and 351 trials searching for individuals to participate in experiments regarding Atezolizumab."
Has there been any precedent for this kind of research?
"Since 2008, Hoffmann-La Roche has sponsored research into the efficacy of atezolizumab. The initial study had a sample size of 720 and resulted in phase 2 approval for this drug. Nowadays, over 350 active trials are located across 1645 cities and 74 nations worldwide."
What is the current size of the participant pool for this research?
"Unfortunately, this research project is no longer recruiting. After being published on May 1st of 2018 and last modified on August 15th 2022, the trial has been closed to new participants. However, there are still 3009 studies looking for those affected by breast cancer and 351 trials involving Atezolizumab that are open to enrollment."
For what maladies is Atezolizumab a common course of treatment?
"Atezolizumab is typically prescribed to combat small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, it can also be used in the management of postoperative malignant neoplasms and non-small cell lung carcinoma."
Has Atezolizumab been officially sanctioned for medical use by the FDA?
"Our evaluation of Atezolizumab's safety was a 2, since the Phase 2 trial has only yielded supportive data for its safeguarding properties but no evidence demonstrating efficacy."
