Description

The trial combines two (Gemcitabine and Atezolizumab). Gemcitabine, alone or in combination regimens is a standard of care for several solid tumors, such as advanced or metastatic NSCLC. It is also used in an off-label setting for pre-treated MPM or naïve MPM in combination with platin-chemotherapy....

The trial combines two (Gemcitabine and Atezolizumab). Gemcitabine, alone or in combination regimens is a standard of care for several solid tumors, such as advanced or metastatic NSCLC. It is also used in an off-label setting for pre-treated MPM or naïve MPM in combination with platin-chemotherapy. Atezolizumab is approved in the United States, European Union and in Switzerland for the treatment of NSCLC, urothelial carcinoma, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. A significant number of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are not cured with available treatments and will eventually relapse. After relapse treatment options are limited. Preclinical in vitro studies have demonstrated a synergism of immunotherapy with PD(L)1-targeting monoclonal antibodies and gemcitabine administered in different tumors models and ongoing clinical studies showed encouraging results. This may represent a safe and effective therapy for patients who relapsed or did not respond to standard therapies. Patients will be treated with gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2 i.v. on day 1 and day 8 of each cycle, (every 3 weeks) and with atezolizumab (1200 mg i.v. on day 1 of each cycle, (every 3 weeks). The trial treatments will be continued for max. 2 years or until discontinuation criteria are met. The follow-up phase will last up to 5 years from treatment start. The main objective of this trial is to determine the efficacy of chemotherapy (gemcitabine) combined with immunotherapy (atezolizumab) in patients with progressive NSCLC and MPM.
