Official Title
A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Atezolizumab Given in Combination With Cabozantinib Versus Cabozantinib Alone in Patients With Inoperable, Locally Advanced, or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Who Experienced Radiographic Tumor Progression During or After Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Treatment
Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence to PD, as determined by the IRF per RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest SOD at prior timepoints (including baseline). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the SOD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥ 5 millimeters (mm). Data for participants who did not experience PD or death was censored at the last tumor assessment date. Data for participants with no post-baseline tumor assessments was censored at the randomization date. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) method.
Outcome Measure
Progression Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by an Independent Review Facility (IRF) (IRF-PFS) According to RECIST v1.1
Outcome Time Frame
From randomization to the first occurrence of PD according to RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first (up to 2 years 5 months)
Outcome Description
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Data for participants who were not reported as having died at the date of analysis were censored at the date when they were last known to be alive. Participants without post-baseline information were censored at the date of randomization. OS was estimated using KM method.
Outcome Measure
Overall Survival (OS)
Outcome Time Frame
From randomization to death due to any cause (up to 2 years 5 months).
