Background: This was an open-label, phase 1b study assessing the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy and pharmacokinetics of the combination of atezolizumab and obinutuzumab in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). There is a mechanistic rationale suggesting that this combination may enhance recruitment of both innate and adaptive immunity and be effective against CD20+ B-cell malignancies.
Materials And Methods: The study consisted of a safety evaluation stage and an expansion stage. Patients received obinutuzumab 1000 mg intravenously (IV) in cycle (C) 1, obinutuzumab plus atezolizumab 1200 mg IV for C2-8, and atezolizumab only from C9. Primary endpoints were to identify a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for atezolizumab, and safety and tolerability in the safety and expansion stages.
Results: A total of 49 patients were enrolled (FL, n = 26; DLBCL, n = 23), with a median of 2 prior lines of treatment. The RP2D for atezolizumab was 1200 mg IV every 3 weeks. Adverse events reported in ≥ 20% of patients were fatigue (15 patients [31%]), nausea (13 patients [27%]), cough, and diarrhea (10 patients [20%] each). Objective response rate was 54% in the FL cohort (complete response [CR] rate: 23%) and 17% in the DLBCL cohort (CR: 4%). Median progression-free survival was 9 months for FL and 3 months for DLBCL. Median overall survival was not estimable for FL and 9 months for DLBCL.
Conclusion: The combination of obinutuzumab and atezolizumab was determined to be safe and tolerable, with no new toxicities observed.

Aim: We investigated the impact of proteinuria on the therapeutic effect before lenvatinib administration as second-line treatment after atezolizumab-bevacizumab.
Methods: We examined 64 patients who were administered lenvatinib as second-line treatment after discontinuation of atezolizumab and bevacizumab. Proteinuria assessed before lenvatinib administration was considered severe if the qualitative value test (QV) was 3+ or the urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) was ≥ 2.

With the rise of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibody and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) regimens, particularly bevacizumab and atezolizumab, as first-line treatments for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), there is a need to explore PD-L1 and programmed cell death 1 inhibitors in combination therapies for unresectable HCC (uHCC). Integrating systemic therapies with locoregional approaches is also emerging as a potent strategy. This study compares the outcomes of atezolizumab (PD-L1 inhibitor) and sintilimab (programmed cell death 1 inhibitor) with bevacizumab or its biosimilar, combined with hepatic arterial interventional therapies (HAIT) in uHCC patients.

Background: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is highly malignant. Despite being highly sensitive to initial chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the recurrence rate is high. Atezolizumab is the first immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) that has been proven to provide an overall survival (OS) benefit for extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC), making ICIs in combination with chemotherapy the standard first-line treatment for ES-SCLC.

The role of anthracyclines in the treatment of early breast cancer (EBC) is increasingly being challenged, especially in de-escalation strategies. However, owing to their immunogenic effects, anthracyclines are promising combination partners with immunotherapies. In the randomized phase 2 trial ABCSG-52 (EudraCT no.

Background: The currently approved frontline treatments for diffuse pleural mesothelioma (DPM) are ipilimumab-nivolumab or platinum-pemetrexed. The addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy improves overall survival (OS). While single-agent immunotherapy or chemotherapy-immunotherapy combinations are superior to chemotherapy monotherapy, there is a potential for synergistic triple combination of chemotherapy, bevacizumab, and immunotherapy.
