Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab for the Treatment of EGFR Mutant Stage IV Non-small Cell Non-squamous Lung Cancer

Trial Status: administratively complete

This phase II trial studies the effect of atezolizumab and bevacizumab in treating patients with EGFR mutant stage IV non-small cell non-squamous lung cancer. Atezolizumab is an antibody which is a protein to fight foreign tissue including tumor cells. This particular antibody affects the immune system by blocking the activity of PD-L1. The PD-L1 is involved in regulating the body’s natural immune response, but tumors can disrupt this pathway and partially resist or evade the immune system by producing excessive amounts of PD-L1. Atezolizumab may help the immune system stop or reverse the growth of tumors by blocking the PD-L1. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks the formation of blood vessels that cancer cells need to grow. Giving atezolizumab and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
