Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection of the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab works as well as the standard intravenous (IV) infusion in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who had already tried platinum-based chemotherapy. The trial enrolled 438 participants and had two parts: first to find the right dose for the shot, then to confirm that the shot delivers similar drug levels in the blood. If successful, this could make treatment much more convenient.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
atezolizumab (Tecentriq) and rHuPH20 (ENHANZE)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more convenient, faster way to receive atezolizumab as a shot under the skin instead of a lengthy IV infusion.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but it primarily checks whether the subcutaneous version reaches similar drug levels in the blood. It may not show better cancer control or survival, and there could be injection-site reactions.
