Atezolizumab + Tiragolumab + Ipatasertib for Cancer
(UmbrellaMAX Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to continue treatment for cancer patients who benefited from specific medications in a previous study. The focus is on using drugs like Ipatasertib, either alone or with other treatments, to determine if they continue to control cancer. Suitable candidates are those already on these treatments who see positive effects but cannot access the medicine outside the trial. As a Phase 3 trial, this study serves as the final step before FDA approval, providing patients access to potentially groundbreaking treatments.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It is best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that the combination of atezolizumab, tiragolumab, and ipatasertib is generally safe. One study found that this drug mix caused fewer liver-related side effects compared to similar treatments. Another study showed that using tiragolumab with atezolizumab was generally easy for patients to handle, as they didn't experience severe problems. These findings suggest that the treatment is well-tolerated in humans, with manageable side effects.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about these treatments because they bring innovative approaches to cancer therapy. Atezolizumab, Tiragolumab, and Ipatasertib each have unique mechanisms of action that set them apart from traditional options like chemotherapy and standard immunotherapy. Atezolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting PD-L1, which helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. Tiragolumab, also an immune checkpoint inhibitor, targets TIGIT, a novel pathway that may enhance the immune response when used with Atezolizumab. Ipatasertib is an AKT inhibitor that targets cancer cell growth pathways, potentially improving outcomes when combined with other treatments. Together, these treatments offer a multi-faceted approach to tackling cancer, potentially increasing effectiveness and broadening the range of treatable tumors.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for cancer?
Research shows that using tiragolumab with atezolizumab holds promise for treating solid cancers, such as non-small cell lung cancer. Studies have found that this combination can significantly extend the time patients live without their cancer worsening. Tiragolumab blocks a protein called TIGIT, which usually prevents immune cells from attacking cancer cells. By blocking TIGIT, tiragolumab and atezolizumab help the immune system fight cancer more effectively. However, in some cases, this combination has not improved overall survival compared to using atezolizumab alone in certain lung cancer patients. In this trial, some participants will receive the combination of tiragolumab and atezolizumab, while others will receive ipatasertib, which might further boost the treatment by targeting cancer cell growth.26789

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for cancer patients who were part of a previous Genentech or Roche study and are still benefiting from the treatment but can't get it outside the study. They must start this extension within 7 days after their last dose in the original study and be able to follow this new study's rules.Inclusion Criteria
