NCT02982694

Description:

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. This is an international, open-label single arm (non-randomized), one-stage phase II trial.

Atezolizumab and BevacizumabExperimentalAtezolizumab will be administered intravenously at 1200 mg on Day 1 every 3 weeks. The dose of bevacizumab in this study is 7.5 mg/kg administered by IV infusion every 3 weeks on Day 1 of each 21 days cycle.
