What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression as Determined by the Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) or Death From Any Cause in Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1)-Selected Population
Tumor response was assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. Disease Progression (PD) was defined as greater than or equal to (>/=) 20 percent (%) relative increase in the sum of diameters (SoD) of all target lesions (TLs), taking as reference the smallest SoD on study, including baseline, and an absolute increase of >/=5 millimeters (mm); >/=1 new lesion(s); and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs.
Measured: Baseline until documented PD or death, whichever occurred first (until data cut-off date 29 September 2017, up to approximately 24 months)
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Determined by the Investigator According to RECIST v1.1 in PD-L1-Selected Population
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to PD, as determined by the investigator per RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: >/=20% relative increase in the SoD of all TLs, taking as reference the smallest SoD on study, including baseline, and an absolute increase of >/=5 mm; >/=1 new lesion(s); and/or unequivocal progression of non-TLs. Participants without PFS event were censored at the last tumor assessment date. Participants with no post-baseline tumor assessments were censored at the randomization date + 1 day. Participants with a PFS event who missed >/=2 scheduled assessments immediately prior to the PFS event were censored at the last tumor assessment prior to the missed visits. Median PFS was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% confidence interval (CI) was assessed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.
Measured: Baseline until documented PD or death, whichever occurred first (until data cut-off date 29 September 2017, up to approximately 24 months)
Percentage of Participants Who Died of Any Cause in ITT Population
Percentage of participants who died of any cause was reported.
Measured: Baseline until death from any cause (until data cut-off date 14 February 2020, up to approximately 57 months)
Overall Survival (OS) in ITT Population
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants who were not reported as having died at the date of analysis were censored at the date when they were last known to be alive. Participants who did not have post-baseline information were censored at the date of randomization + 1 day. Median OS was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI was assessed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.
Measured: Baseline until death from any cause (until data cut-off date 14 February 2020, up to approximately 57 months)

PD: >/=20% relative increase in the SoD of all TLs and all new measurable lesions, taking as reference the smallest SoD on study, including baseline, and an absolute increase of >/=5 mm. Participants without PFS event were censored at the last tumor assessment date. Participants with no post-baseline tumor assessments were censored at the randomization date + 1 day. Median PFS was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI was assessed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.
Measured: Baseline until documented PD or death, whichever occurred first (until data cut-off date 29 September 2017, up to approximately 24 months)
Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response of CR or PR as Determined by the Investigator According to Immune-Modified RECIST in ORR-Evaluable Population
Tumor response was assessed by the investigator according to immune-modified RECIST. Objective response was defined as percentage of participants with a documented CR or PR. CR was defined as disappearance of all TLs/non-TLs or reduction in short axis of any pathological lymph nodes to <10 mm. PR was defined as >/=30% decrease in the SoD of TLs and all new measurable lesions (taking as reference the baseline SoD), in the absence of CR. The 95% CI was computed using Clopper-Pearson approach. Participants without any post-baseline tumor assessments were considered non-responders.
Measured: Baseline until documented CR/PR, PD, or death, whichever occurred first (until data cut-off date 29 September 2017, up to approximately 24 months)
DOR as Determined by the Investigator According to Immune-Modified RECIST in DOR-Evaluable Population

PR: >/=30% decrease in the SoD of TLs and all new measurable lesions (taking as reference the baseline SoD), in the absence of CR. PD: >/=20% relative increase in the SoD of all TLs and all new measurable lesions, taking as reference the smallest SoD on study, including baseline, and an absolute increase of >/=5 mm. Participants without PD or death after a CR/PR were censored at last tumor assessment. Participants without tumor assessments after a CR/PR were censored at first CR/PR + 1 day. Median DOR was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI by the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.

Change From Baseline in Symptom Interference as Determined by M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI) Part II Score
The MDASI is a cancer-related, multi-symptom, valid, and reliable self-report questionnaire that comprises of 23 items and two subscales: symptom severity (17 items) and symptom interference (6 items). In Part II, participants were asked to rate how much the symptoms have interfered with 6 areas of function (general activity, walking, work, mood, relations with other people, and enjoyment of life) in the last 24 hours. Each item was rated on a scale of 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (interfered completely) and total Part II score was calculated as an average of 6-item scores. Repeated measures model-estimated least-squares (LS) mean score for changes from baseline is reported at each timepoint, where a negative value indicates improvement. Here, 'Number Analyzed' = number of participants evaluable at specified time point.
Measured: Baseline (Day 1 Cycle 1); Day 22 Cycle 1; Day 1 and 22 of every cycle from Cycle 2 up to Cycle 19; Cycle length = 42 days
Change From Baseline in Symptom Severity as Determined by MDASI Part I Score
The MDASI is a cancer-related, multi-symptom, valid, and reliable self-report questionnaire that comprises of 23 items and two subscales: symptom severity (17 items) and symptom interference (6 items). In Part I, participants were asked to rate how severe the symptoms (pain, fatigue, nausea, disturbed sleep, feeling of being distressed, shortness of breath, remembering things, lack of appetite, drowsy, dry mouth, feeling sad, vomiting, numbness or tingling, rash/skin changes, headache, mouth/throat sores, and diarrhea) were when "at their worst" in the last 24 hours. Each item was rated on a scale of 0 (not present) to 10 (as bad as you can imagine). Mixed-effects model-estimated LS mean score for change from baseline at the end-of treatment is reported for each item, where a negative value indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline; End of Treatment (EoT) visit (up to approximately 27 months)
Change From Baseline in Symptom Severity as Determined by Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) Interference Scale Score
The BFI is a valid and reliable self-report questionnaire used to assess the severity and impact of cancer-related fatigue. BFI interference subscale (6 items) assessed the impact of fatigue on global domains (general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, and enjoyment of life) in the last 24 hours. Each item was rated on a scale of 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (interfered completely). Change from baseline in the mean score of all 6 items at each timepoint is reported, where a negative value indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline (Day 1 Cycle 1); every week for first 12 weeks, Days 1 and 22 of each cycle (Cycle 3 up to 19), within 30 days of PD (up to 27 months), at EoT (up to 27 months) and at 6, 12, 24, and 36 weeks after EoT (overall up to 27 months); 1 cycle=42 days
Change From Baseline in Symptom Severity as Determined by BFI Worst Fatigue Item
The BFI is a valid and reliable self-report questionnaire used to assess the severity and impact of cancer-related fatigue. BFI worst fatigue item assessed the severity of fatigue at its worst in the last 24 hours. The item was rated on a scale of 0 (not present) to 10 (as bad as you can imagine). Change from baseline in the score at each time point is reported, where a negative value indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline (Day 1 Cycle 1); every week for first 12 weeks, Days 1 and 22 of each cycle (Cycle 3 up to 19), within 30 days of PD (up to 27 months), at EoT (up to 27 months) and at 6, 12, 24, and 36 weeks after EoT (overall up to 27 months); 1 cycle=42 days
Change From Baseline in Treatment Side Effects Burden as Determined by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Kidney Symptom Index (FKSI-19) General Population 5 (GP5) Item Score
The FKSI-19 is a 19-item tool designed to assess the most important symptoms and concerns related to treatment effectiveness in advanced kidney cancer. The FKSI-19 GP5 item (bothered by the side effect of treatment) assessed side effects burden in the past 7 days on a 5-point scale (0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). Repeated measures model-estimated LS mean score for changes from baseline is reported at each timepoint, where a negative value indicates improvement.
Measured: Day 1 and 22 of every cycle (Baseline = Day 1 Cycle 1) up to Cycle 19; Cycle length = 42 days
Number of Participants With Anti-Therapeutic Antibodies (ATAs) Against Atezolizumab
The number of participants with "Treatment-induced ATAs" and "Treatment-enhanced ATA" against atezolizumab at any time during or after treatment was reported. Treatment-induced ATA = a participant with negative or missing Baseline ATA result(s) and at least one positive post-Baseline ATA result. Treatment-enhanced ATA = a participant with positive ATA result at Baseline who has one or more post Baseline titer results that are at least 0.60 titer unit greater than the Baseline titer result. Here, 'Overall Number of Participants Analyzed' = number of participants with a non-missing baseline ATA sample; 'Number Analyzed' = number of participants with a non-missing ATA sample at indicated timepoint.
Measured: Baseline (Predose [Hour 0] at Day 1 Cycle 1); Post-Baseline (Predose at Cycles 2, 4, and 8, and every eight cycles thereafter up to EoT [up to approximately 27 months] and 120 days after EoT [up to approximately 27 months]) (Cycle length=42 days)
Number of Participants With ATAs Against Bevacizumab
The number of participants with "Treatment-induced ATAs" and "Treatment-enhanced ATA" against bevacizumab at any time during or after treatment was reported. Treatment-induced ATA = a participant with negative or missing Baseline ATA result(s) and at least one positive post-Baseline ATA result. Treatment-enhanced ATA = a participant with positive ATA result at Baseline who has one or more post Baseline titer results that are at least 0.60 titer unit greater than the Baseline titer result.
Measured: Baseline (Predose [Hour 0] at Day 1 Cycle 1); Post-Baseline (Predose at Cycle 3, at EoT [up to approximately 27 months] and at 120 days after EoT [up to approximately 27 months]) (Cycle length=42 days)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Atezolizumab (MPDL3280A), an engineered anti-PD-L1 antibody, Bevacizumab and Sunitinib in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 154 sites in 21 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 154 sites in United States, Japan, France, United Kingdom, Canada and 16 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Oct 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression as Determined by the Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) or Death From Any Cause in Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1)-Selected Population (time frame: Baseline until documented PD or death, whichever occurred first (until data cut-off date 29 September 2017, up to approximately 24 months)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02420821, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jan 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
