Study Summary

This trial is studying a combination of 3 drugs to treat patients with advanced hereditary leiomyomatosis and kidney cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 12 or older with advanced kidney cancer, including hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma. Participants must have measurable disease, acceptable organ function, no more than two prior VEGF-targeted treatments, and no recent use of certain medications or therapies. Those with treated brain metastases stable for at least 3 months can join. Pregnant women and tobacco users who cannot quit are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination therapy using bevacizumab (stops blood vessels from feeding tumors), erlotinib (blocks proteins that signal cancer cells to multiply), and atezolizumab (boosts the immune system to fight cancer). The goal is to see if this trio can stabilize or shrink advanced-stage kidney cancers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include high blood pressure, bleeding problems from bevacizumab; rash and diarrhea from erlotinib; fatigue, coughing up blood, shortness of breath due to lung inflammation from atezolizumab. Side effects vary by individual.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (bevacizumab, atezolizumab, erlotinib)Experimental Treatment11 Interventions
Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes and atezolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Patients also receive erlotinib PO QD on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT with or without contrast and MRI throughout the trial. Patients undergo collection of blood throughout the trial, and may undergo a biopsy during screening, as well as a brain MRI/CT scan with contrast, bone scan, and/or F-18 sodium fluoride PET scan as clinically indicated.
