Atezolizumab in Combination with Cyclophosphamide, Sorafenib, and Bevacizumab for the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors in Pediatric Patients, ANGIO-A Study
This phase I/II trial tests the highest tolerable combination of atezolizumab, bevacizumab, cyclophosphamide and sorafenib in treating solid tumors that have come back (recurrent) or have not responded to treatment (refractory) in pediatric patients. 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. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Sorafenib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of tumor cells. Adding atezolizumab to bevacizumab, cyclophosphamide and sorafenib may work to stop the cancers from growing or to shrink for a period of time. The combination may also lessen the symptoms, such as pain, that are caused by the cancer.

OUTLINE:
Patients receive atezolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle, bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 of each cycle, cyclophosphamide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 of each cycle, and sorafenib PO every 12 hours (Q12H) (Q12H or Q24H in Part 1 only based on dose level assignment) on days 1-21 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo a tumor biopsy at baseline and again after 2 cycles of treatment. Patients whose biopsy results show tumor response after 2 cycles may continue treatment every 21 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients undergo echocardiogram (ECHO) and collection of blood samples throughout the study.
