Tecentriq + tiragolumab does not improve OS, updated phase III data finds

Genentech’s phase III SKYSCRAPER-01 study, evaluating tiragolumab combined with Tecentriq (atezolizumab) compared to Tecentriq alone for patients with PD-L1-high, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, did not reach the primary endpoint of overall survival at the final analysis. The overall safety profile observed remained consistent with longer follow-up, and no new safety signals were identified. The detailed data will be presented at a medical meeting in 2025.

Tiragolumab + atezolizumab for metastatic nSq NSCLC did not meet primary endpoints in phase II/III trial

Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, announced that the phase II/III SKYSCRAPER-06 study evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq (atezolizumab) and chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy as an initial treatment for people with previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, did not meet its primary endpoints of progression-free survival at its primary analysis with a hazard ratio of 1.27 [95% CI: 1.02,1.57] and overall survival at its first interim analysis with a HR of 1.33 [95% CI: 1.02, 1.73], which was immature.

Columvi combination extends OS in transplant-ineligible R/R DLBCL in phase III trial

In the phase III STARGLO study of Columvi (glofitamab-gxbm) in combination with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GemOx) versus Rituxan (rituximab) in combination with GemOx (R-GemOx) for people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who have received at least one prior line of therapy and are not candidates for autologous stem cell transplant, or who have received two or more prior lines of therapy, the Columvi regiment extended overall survival.
