Trial Summary
This is an open-label, multicenter, basket trial Phase II study to evaluate the antitumor activity of simlukafusp alfa in combination with atezolizumab in participants with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors. Currently the focus is on participants with Head and Neck, oesophageal and cervical cancers with confirmed squamous cell carcinoma histology type.
How does the BP40234 clinical trial work?
This clinical trial is recruiting people who have solid tumours (cancer) that are advanced or have spread (‘metastatic’). Solid tumours can include lung cancer, cancers of the head and neck, oesophageal (throat) cancer, cervical cancer or a cancer that starts in another organ. Advanced or metastatic are terms used to describe a tumour that has spread beyond the original cancer site to other parts of the body.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the effects, good or bad, of RO6874281 plus atezolizumab in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumours. By giving the two drugs together it is hoped that the effects are greater than giving each drug on its own.
In this clinical trial, you will get a combination of RO6874281 plus atezolizumab. The exact treatment schedule will depend on which group you are allocated to (and this depends on your type of cancer and, in some cases, the type of treatment that you have already received for your tumour).
How do I take part in this clinical trial?
To be able to take part in this clinical trial, you must have an advanced or metastatic solid tumour, and be at least 18 years old.
You will not be able to take part if your tumour has spread to your brain or spinal cord and (1) you are experiencing symptoms caused by this, or (2) if you haven’t yet received treatment for the cancer in your brain/spinal cord.
If you think this clinical trial may be suitable for you and would like to take part, please talk to your doctor. If your doctor thinks that you might be able to take part in this clinical trial, he/she may refer you to the closest clinical trial doctor. They will give you all the information you need to make your decision about taking part in the clinical trial. You can also find the clinical trial locations on this page.
You will have some further tests to make sure you will be able to take the treatments given in this clinical trial. Some of these tests or procedures may be part of your regular medical care. They may be done even if you do not take part in the clinical trial. If you have had some of the tests recently, they may not need to be done again.
Before starting the clinical trial, you will be told about any risks and benefits of taking part in the trial. You will also be told what other treatments are available so that you may decide if you still want to take part.
While taking part in the clinical trial, both men and women (if you are not currently pregnant but can become pregnant) will need to either not have heterosexual intercourse or take contraceptive medication for safety reasons.
What treatment will I be given if I join this clinical trial?
The majority of patients who join this clinical trial will be given RO6874281 plus atezolizumab, with both infused into a vein in your arm. The exact treatment that you will receive depends on the group you are allocated to, but will be based on one of two schedules:
- RO6874281 every week plus atezolizumab every 2 weeks for 4 weeks, then RO6874281 plus atezolizumab every 2 weeks
- RO6874281 plus atezolizumab every 3 weeks
Your group will depend on your type of cancer, and in some cases, the type of treatment that you have already received. In some groups, you may be randomly allocated to RO6874281 plus atezolizumab or another ‘control’ treatment. Your study doctor will explain to you your group allocation and the treatment you will receive.
How often will I be seen in follow-up appointments and for how long?
You will be given the clinical trial treatment for as long as it helps you. You are free to stop treatment at any time. After being given treatment, you will still be seen regularly by the clinical trial doctor. These hospital visits will include checks to see how you are responding to the treatment and any side effects that you may be having. After being given your last dose, you will be seen by the clinical trial doctor after about 1 month, 3 months and 4 months.
What happens if I am unable to take part in this clinical trial?
If this clinical trial is not suitable for you, you will not be able to take part. Your doctor will suggest other clinical trials that you may be able to take part in or other treatments that you can be given. You will not lose access to any of your regular care.
