Summary

This phase II trial tests whether cabozantinib with or without atezolizumab works to shrink tumors in patients with papillary kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib with atezolizumab may prevent papillary kidney cancer from growing or spreading compared to cabozantinib alone.

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To compare progression-free survival in participants with metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma (mPRCC) randomized to cabozantinib S-malate (cabozantinib) with atezolizumab versus cabozantinib alone.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare overall survival in participants with mPRCC randomized to cabozantinib with atezolizumab versus cabozantinib alone.

II. To compare Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) objective response rate (confirmed and unconfirmed, complete and partial response) in participants with mPRCC randomized to cabozantinib with atezolizumab versus cabozantinib alone.

III. To evaluate the quantitative and qualitive adverse events observed in each treatment arm.

BANKING OBJECTIVE:

I. To bank biospecimens for future correlative studies.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive cabozantinib S-malate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) and bone scans throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo collection of blood samples throughout the trial.

ARM II: Patients receive cabozantinib S-malate PO QD on days 1-21 and atezolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT and bone scans throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo collection of blood samples throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for up to 5 years.
