Atezolizumab in comination of Temozolomide

Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of atezolizumab (atezo; aPDL1) in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM).


Abstract No : 2511

Abstract Type : Oral Abstract Session

Indication : Glioblastoma Multiforme

Intervention : atezolizumab + temozolomide

Company : Genentech

Technology : Monoclonal antibody


Results:

60 patients were enrolled. With median follow-up time of 16.7 months (data cutoff = 30 Dec 2019), 24 patients had died and 32 had progressed. Median OS was 17.1 months (95% CI: 13.9, not reached). Median PFS was 9.7 months (95% CI: 7.6- 15). Median PFS in MGMT methylated patients (n = 18) was 16.7 months (95% CI: 7.85, not reached) and 7.9 months (95% CI: 6.70-12.4) in MGMT unmethylated patients (n = 33). Treatment-related adverse events with maximum CTCAE grade . 3 occurred in 33 patients; the most common were LFT elevation (n = 5) and lymphopenia (n = 23). To date, 17 of the enrolled 60 patients underwent re-resection post treatment with atezo. The matched paired tumor analysis of pre and post treatment tissue will provide valuable insights into mechanisms of anti-PD-L1 therapy resistance. Tumor immunocorrelative studies are pending


Conclusion:

Concurrent use of atezo with radiation and TMZ was tolerable and demonstrated modest efficacy


Commentary:

Concurrent use of atezoluzumab with radiation and TMZ was safe and demonstrated modest efficacy in line with published trials for newly diagnosed GBM.
