About this study
Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Bevacizumab, Erlotinib and Atezolizumab in Subjects With Advanced Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer (HLRCC) Associated or Sporadic Papillary Renal Cell Cancer
This phase II trial studies the effects of combination therapy with bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab in treating patients with hereditary leiomyomatosis and kidney cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumors. This may slow the growth and spread of tumors. Erlotinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of a protein called EGFR that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. 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. Combination therapy with bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab may stabilize or shrink advanced hereditary leiomyomatosis and kidney cancer.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- To assess the complete response (CR) rate according to standard Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) in patients with 1) advanced renal cell cancer (RCC) associated with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) and 2) advanced sporadic/non-HLRCC papillary renal cell cancer treated with a combination of bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab.
II. To determine the objective response rate (ORR) as complete response (CR) + partial response (PR).
III. To determine disease control rate (DCR) - confirmed response, or stable disease (SD) lasting for at least 6 months.
IV. To assess progression-free survival time (PFS) according to RECIST 1.1. V. To assess overall survival (OS). VI. To assess the duration of response. VII. To assess response to treatment using immune-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate immunologic modulation associated with the administered treatment regimen, including:
Ia. Peripheral immune subset analysis before and on treatment; Ib. Evaluation of relevant soluble factors before and on treatment. (e.g., cytokine profiles); Ic. Tumor tissue immune infiltration cells before and after treatment (immune microenvironment, CD8/CD4/CD3 cells, T-cell receptor clonality); Id. Evaluation of tissue PDL1/PD1 expression and their correlation with outcome.
II. To assess specific genomic alterations (including fumarate hydratase [FH], NRF2 pathway) and determine if there is a correlation with clinical outcomes.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive bevacizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes and atezolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Patients also receive erlotinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) with or without contrast and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the trial. Patients undergo collection of blood throughout the trial, and may undergo a biopsy during screening, as well as a brain MRI/CT scan with contrast, bone scan, and/or F-18 sodium fluoride positron emission tomography (PET) scan as clinically indicated.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months.

Overall survival (OS)
The Kaplan-Meier method will be used and the curves presented along with a 95% confidence interval on the median OS, separately by cohort.

Primary outcome
Incidence of adverse events
Time frame: Up to 28 days after treatment
To determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab, the fraction of patients with a dose-limiting toxicity will be reported, along with the maximum grade and type of toxicity for each type noted. Note: In addition to adverse events in the entire study population, pediatric toxicities will also be reported and analyzed separately.
Objective response rate
Time frame: Up to 2 years from study enrollment
Defined as complete response (CR) + partial response (PR), the fraction with a response (CR+PR) will be reported separately by cohort, along with a 95% confidence interval.
Disease control rate
Time frame: Up to 2 years from study enrollment
Will be reported for patients with confirmed response, or stable disease (SD) lasting for at least 6 months. Will be reported separately by cohort, along with a 95% confidence interval.
Progression-free survival time (PFS)
Time frame: Time from study treatment initiation until disease progression or death, assessed up to 2 years from study enrollment
Assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1, PFS will be determined using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the curves presented along with a 95% confidence interval on the median PFS, separately by cohort.
Overall survival (OS)
Time frame: From study treatment initiation until death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years from study enrollment
The Kaplan-Meier method will be used and the curves presented along with a 95% confidence interval on the median OS, separately by cohort.
Duration of response (DOR)
Time frame: Length of time without disease progression or recurrence, up to 2 years from study enrollment
The Kaplan-Meier method will be used and the curves presented along with a 95% confidence interval on the median DOR, separately by cohort.
Response to treatment
Time frame: Assessed up to 2 years from study enrollment
Response to treatment using immune-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST), the fraction with a response (CR+PR) according to iRECIST will be reported separately by cohort, along with a 95% confidence interval.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Atezolizumab, Bevacizumab and Biopsy Procedure in people with Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma and Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 13 sites in United States.
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 28 inclusion and 40 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 13 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of adverse events (time frame: Up to 28 days after treatment). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Oct 2026.
