First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tested a drug called atezolizumab in 27 people with rare cancers of the bone (chondrosarcoma) or soft tissue (clear cell sarcoma) that could not be removed by surgery or had spread. Atezolizumab is an immunotherapy that helps the body's immune system attack cancer cells. The main goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors, with researchers also tracking how long any response lasted.
