Summary

This study is for adults with advanced cancers like lung, liver, or melanoma who are eligible for the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab. Researchers want to see if giving a lower dose less often can still keep the drug at effective levels in the blood, potentially reducing side effects. Participants will start with standard doses, then switch to a lower dose based on blood tests. The goal is to find a dosing schedule that works with fewer treatments.
