E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to determine the anti-tumor activity, as measured by overall response rate (ORR) of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in patients with chemotherapy resistant CRC and positivity for MSI-like molecular signature. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
· To assess anti-tumor activity of atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab as measured by duration of response and time to response, immune-related tumor response, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
· To determine the anti-tumor activity, as measured by ORR of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in the subgroup of patients with chemotherapy resistant CRC and positive for both MSI-like signature and “real MSI” by standard testing – immunohistochemistry (IHC) or PCR.
· To determine the anti-tumor activity, as measured by ORR of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in the subgroup of patients with chemotherapy resistant CRC and positive for MSI-like signature but “MSS” by standard testing.
· To characterize the safety and tolerability of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab as assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events. |
