FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). More specifically, the invention relates to the treatment of patients having an NSCLC by administering a treatment regimen that includes an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody (e.g., tiragolumab) and a PD-1 axis binding antagonist (e.g., atezolizumab) following surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy or by administering a treatment regimen that includes an adjuvant chemotherapy, an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody (e.g., tiragolumab), and a PD-1 axis binding antagonist (e.g., atezolizumab) following surgical resection.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and is one of the most common cancers in both men and women. In 2023 in the United States, it is estimated that there will be 238,340 new cases of lung cancer and 127,070 lung cancer deaths. Data from Europe estimate that in 2023 there will be 159,057 lung cancer deaths.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the predominant subtype of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 80%-85% of all cases. NSCLC can be divided into two major histologic types: adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma histology accounts for approximately 40%-50% of all NSCLC, while squamous cell histology accounts for approximately 20%-30% of NSCLC. The remaining cases of NSCLC are represented by large cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, and sarcomatoid carcinoma, and are of poorly differentiated histology.
The annual incidence rate of NSCLC in the US per 100,000 (2017) was 13.2, 3.8, 5.9, 2.5, and 19.6 for Stage I, II, IIIA, IIIB, and stage IV respectively. Furthermore, in the U.S., the 5-year survival for those with localized disease at diagnosis (Stage l-ll) is 59.0%, decreasing to 31 .7% among those with regional (Stage III) disease and 5.8% among those with metastatic (Stage IV) disease.
In its early stages, NSCLC is treated surgically with curative intent. However, 30%-70% of patients undergoing resection develop recurrence and die as a result of disease progression. Radiation therapy is no longer recommended after surgery as an adjuvant treatment option for spatients with Stage I and II NSCLC because it has been shown to have a deleterious effect on long-term survival.
Therefore, there is a significant need for novel, effective adjuvant therapies for patients with NSCLC. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The term “comparator” or “comparator arm” as used herein refers to a reference (e.g., a reference population of patients) used as a basis of comparison for a treatment or treatment arm in a study, e.g., a clinical trial. For example, a comparator arm may be a control arm in a clinical trial. The comparator arm may include a population of patients who have received a control treatment, such as one or more previously approved treatments or marketed products.
A “reference sample,” “reference cell,” “reference tissue,” “control sample,” “control cell,” or “control tissue,” as used herein, refers to a sample, cell, tissue, standard, or level that is used for comparison purposes. In one embodiment, a reference sample, reference cell, reference tissue, control sample, control cell, or control tissue is obtained from a healthy and/or non-diseased part of the body (e.g., tissue or cells) of the same subject. For example, healthy and/or non-diseased cells or tissue adjacent to the diseased cells or tissue (e.g., cells or tissue adjacent to a tumor). In another embodiment, a reference sample is obtained from an untreated tissue and/or cell of the body of the same subject. In yet another embodiment, a reference sample, reference cell, reference tissue, control sample, control cell, or control tissue is obtained from a healthy and/or non-diseased part of the body (e.g., tissues or cells) of a subject who is not the subject. In even another embodiment, a reference sample, reference cell, reference tissue, control sample, control cell, or control tissue is obtained from an untreated tissue and/or cell of the body of an individual who is not the subject.
The term “TIGIT” or “T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains” as used herein refers to any native TIGIT from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise indicated. TIGIT is also known in the art as DKFZp667A205, FLJ39873, V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 9, V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 3, VSIG9, VSTM3, and WUCAM. The term encompasses “full-length,” unprocessed TIGIT (e.g., full-length human TIGIT having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 30), as well as any form of TIGIT that results from processing in the cell (e.g., processed human TIGIT without a signal sequence, having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 31 ). The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of TIGIT, e.g., splice variants or allelic variants. The amino acid sequence of an exemplary human TIGIT may be found under UniProt Accession Number Q495A1 .
As used herein, “tiragolumab” is a fully human lgG1/kappa MAb-derived in Open Monoclonal Technology (OMT) rats that binds TIGIT and comprises the heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 33 and the light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 34. Tiragolumab comprises two N-linked glycosylation sites (N306) in the Fc domain. Tiragolumab is also described in WHO Drug Information (International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances), Proposed INN: List 1 17, Vol. 31 , No. 2, published June 9, 2017 (see page 343).
The term “anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody” refers to an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment or variant thereof that is capable of binding TIGIT with sufficient affinity such that it substantially or completely inhibits the biological activity of TIGIT. For example, an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody may block signaling through PVR, PVRL2, and/or PVRL3 so as to restore a functional response by T-cells (e.g., proliferation, cytokine production, target cell killing) from a dysfunctional state to antigen stimulation. For example, an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody may block signaling through PVR without impacting PVR- CD226 interaction. It will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that in some instances, an anti- TIGIT antagonist antibody may antagonize one TIGIT activity without affecting another TIGIT activity. For example, an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody for use in certain of the methods or uses described herein is an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody that antagonizes TIGIT activity in response to one of PVR interaction, PVRL3 interaction, or PVRL2 interaction, e.g., without affecting or minimally affecting any of the other TIGIT interactions. In one aspect, the extent of binding of an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody to an unrelated, non-TIGIT protein is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to TIGIT as measured, e.g., by a radioimmunoassay (RIA). In certain aspects, an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody that binds to TIGIT has a dissociation constant (KD) of < 1 pM, < 100 nM, < 10 nM, < 1 nM, < 0.1 nM, < 0.01 nM, or < 0.001 nM (e.g., 10-8 M or less, e.g., from 10-8 M to 10-13 M, e.g., from 10-9 M to 10-13 M). In certain aspects, an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody binds to an epitope of TIGIT that is conserved among TIGIT from different species or an epitope on TIGIT that allows for cross-species reactivity. In some aspects, the anti-TIGIT binding antibody has intact Fc-mediated effector function (e.g., tiragolumab, vibostolimab, etigilimab, EOS084448, or TJ-T6). In some aspects, the anti-TIGIT binding antibody has enhanced Fc- mediated effector function (e.g., SGN-TGT). In other aspects, the anti-TIGIT binding antibody lacks Fc- mediated effector function (e.g., domvanalimab, BMS-986207, ASP8374, or COM902). In some aspects, the anti-TIGIT binding antibody is an IgG 1 class antibody (e.g., tiragolumab, vibostolimab, domvanalimab, BMS-986207, etigilimab, BGB-A1217, SGN-TGT, EOS084448 (EOS-448), TJ-T6, or AB308). In other aspects, the anti-TIGIT binding antibody is an lgG4 class antibody (e.g., ASP8374 or COM902). In one aspect, the anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody is tiragolumab.
The terms “programmed death ligand 1 ” and “PD-L1” refer herein to native sequence human PD- L1 polypeptide. Native sequence PD-L1 polypeptides are provided under Uniprot Accesion No. Q9NZQ7. For example, the native sequence PD-L1 may have the amino acid sequence as set forth in Uniprot Accesion No. Q9NZQ7-1 (isoform 1 ) (SEQ ID NO: 32). In another example, the native sequence PD-L1 may have the amino acid sequence as set forth in Uniprot Accesion No. Q9NZQ7-2 (isoform 2).

For the purposes herein, “atezolizumab” is an Fc-engineered, humanized, non-glycosylated IgG 1 kappa immunoglobulin that binds PD-L1 and comprises the heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and the light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. Atezolizumab comprises a single amino acid substitution (asparagine to alanine) at position 297 on the heavy chain (N297A) using EU numbering of Fc region amino acid residues, which results in a non-glycosylated antibody that has minimal binding to Fc receptors. Atezolizumab is also described in WHO Drug Information (International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances), Proposed INN: List 112, Vol. 28, No. 4, published January 16, 2015 (see page 485).
The term “PD-1 axis binding antagonist” refers to a molecule that inhibits the interaction of a PD-1 axis binding partner with either one or more of its binding partners, so as to remove T-cell dysfunction resulting from signaling on the PD-1 signaling axis, with a result being to restore or enhance T-cell function (e.g., proliferation, cytokine production, and/or target cell killing).

The terms “cancer,” “cancerous,” “cell proliferative disorder,” “proliferative disorder,” and “tumor” are not mutually exclusive as referred to herein.
A “tumor cell” as used herein, refers to any tumor cell present in a tumor or a sample thereof. Tumor cells may be distinguished from other cells that may be present in a tumor sample, for example, stromal cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, using methods known in the art and/or described herein.
As used herein, “treating” comprises effective cancer treatment with an effective amount of a therapeutic agent (e.g., a PD-1 axis binding antagonist (e.g., atezolizumab); an anti-TIG IT antagonist antibody (e.g., tiragolumab); and/or a chemotherapeutic agent (e.g., a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent)). Treating herein includes, inter alia, adjuvant therapy, neoadjuvant therapy, non-metastatic cancer therapy (e.g., locally advanced cancer therapy), and metastatic cancer therapy. The treatment may be first-line treatment (e.g., the patient may be previously untreated or not have received prior systemic therapy), or second-line or later treatment.
An “effective amount” of a compound, for example, a PD-1 axis binding antagonist (e.g., atezolizumab); an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody (e.g., tiragolumab); and/or a chemotherapeutic agent (e.g., a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent), is at least the minimum amount required to achieve the desired therapeutic result, such as a measurable increase in overall survival or progression-free survival of a particular disease or disorder (e.g., cancer, e.g., NSCLC, e.g., a Stage I IB NSCLC, a Stage 11 IA NSCLC, or a T3N2 Stage 11 IB NSCLC). An effective amount herein may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the patient, and the ability of the antibody to elicit a desired response in the subject. An effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the treatment are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. For prophylactic use, beneficial or desired results include results such as eliminating or reducing the risk, lessening the severity, or delaying the onset of the disease, including biochemical, histological and/or behavioral symptoms of the disease, its complications, and intermediate pathological phenotypes presenting during development of the disease. For therapeutic use, beneficial or desired results include clinical results such as decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease (e.g., reduction or delay in cancer-related pain, symptomatic skeletal-related events (SSE), reduction in symptoms per the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30, e.g., fatigue, nausea, vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, or general level of physical emotional, cognitive, or social functioning), reduction in pain as measured by, e.g., the 10-point pain severity (measured at its worst) numerical rating scale (NRS), and/or reduction in symptoms associated with lung cancer per the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire as assessed by symptoms in lung cancer (SILC) scale (e.g., time to deterioration (TTD) in cough dyspnea and chest pain), increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, enhancing effect of another medication such as via targeting, delaying the progression of the disease (e.g. progression-free survival or radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS); delay of unequivocal clinical progression (e.g., cancer-related pain progression, symptomatic skeletal-related event, deterioration in Eastern Cooperative Group Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) (e.g., how the disease affects the daily living abilities of the patient), and/or initiation of next systemic anti-cancer therapy), and/or delaying time to lung-specific antigen progression), and/or prolonging survival. In the case of cancer or tumor, an effective amount of the drug may have the effect in reducing the number of cancer cells; reducing the tumor size; inhibiting (i.e. , slow to some extent or desirably stop) cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and desirably stop) tumor metastasis; inhibiting to some extent tumor growth; and/or relieving to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the disorder. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations. For purposes of this invention, an effective amount of drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to accomplish prophylactic or therapeutic treatment either directly or indirectly. As is understood in the clinical context, an effective amount of a drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition. Thus, an “effective amount” may be considered in the context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent may be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable result may be or is achieved.
As used herein, “survival” refers to the patient remaining alive, and includes overall survival as well as progression-free survival.
As used herein, “disease-free survival” and “DFS” refer to the length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease (e.g., cancer, e.g., NSCLC) to the occurrence of local or distant recurrence of the disease (e.g., cancer, e.g., NSCLC), new primary disease (e.g., cancer, e.g., NSCLC), or death from any cause. For example, DFS may be defined as the time from first study treatment to to the occurrence of local or distant recurrence of the disease, new primary disease, or death from any cause. As used herein, “overall survival” and “OS” refer to the length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease (e.g., cancer) that the patient is still alive. For example, OS may be defined as the time from first study treatment to death from any cause.
As used herein, “complete response” and “CR” refers to disappearance of all target lesions.
As used herein, “partial response” and “PR” refers to at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (SLD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SLD prior to treatment.
As used here, “progressive disease” and “PD” refers to at least a 20% increase in the SLD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (nadir), including baseline.
As used herein, “stable disease” and “SD” refers to neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.
As used herein, “subject” or “individual” is meant a mammal, including, but not limited to, a human or non-human mammal, such as a bovine, equine, canine, ovine, or feline. In some embodiments, the subject is a human. Patients are also subjects herein.
As used herein, a “PD-L1 -positive tumor cell fraction” is the percentage of viable tumor cells showing partial or complete membrane staining (exclusive of cytoplasmic staining) at any intensity relative to all viable tumor cells present in a sample, following staining of the sample in the context of an immunohistochemical (IHC) assay, e.g., an IHC assay staining for PD-L1 using the antibody SP142, SP263, 22C3, or 28-8. Accordingly, a PD-L1 -positive tumor cell fraction may be calculated using the PD- L1 IHC SP142 (Ventana) assay, for example, by the formula PD-L1 -positive tumor cell fraction = (number of PD-L1 -positive tumor cells)/(total number of PD-L1 -positive and PD-L1 negative tumor cells), wherein PD-L1 cytoplasmic staining of tumor cells and all non-tumor cells (e.g., tumor-infiltrating immune cells, normal cells, necrotic cells, and debris) are excluded from evaluation and scoring. It will be appreciated that any given diagnostic PD-L1 antibody may correspond with a particular IHC assay protocol and/or scoring terminology that can be used to derive a PD-L1 -positive tumor cell fraction. For example, a PD- L1 -positive tumor cell fraction can be derived from a tumor cell sample stained with SP263, 22C3, SP142, or 28-8 using OPTIVIEW® detection on Benchmark ULTRA, EnVision Flex on AutostainerLink 48, OPTIVIEW® detection and amplification on Benchmark ULTRA, or EnVision Flex on AutostainerLink 48, respectively.
As used herein, the “Ventana SP142 IHC assay” is conducted according to the Ventana PD-L1 (SP142) Assay package insert (Tucson, AZ: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
As used herein, the “Ventana SP263 IHC assay” is conducted according to the Ventana PD-L1 (SP263) Assay package insert (Tucson, AZ: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
As used herein, the “pharmDx 22C3 IHC assay” is conducted according to the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx package insert (Carpinteria, CA: Dako, Agilent Pathology Solutions), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
As used herein, the “pharmDx 28-8 IHC assay” is conducted according to the PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx package insert (Carpinteria, CA: Dako, Agilent Pathology Solutions), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The term “package insert” is used to refer to instructions customarily included in commercial packages of therapeutic products, that contain information about the indications, usage, dosage, administration, combination therapy, contraindications and/or warnings concerning the use of such therapeutic products.
As used herein, “in combination with” refers to administration of one treatment modality in addition to another treatment modality, for example, a treatment regimen that includes administration of a PD-1 axis binding antagonist (e.g., atezolizumab) and an anti-TIGIT antagonist antibody (e.g., tiragolumab). As such, “in combination with” refers to administration of one treatment modality before, during, or after administration of the other treatment modality to the patient.
A drug that is administered “concurrently” with one or more other drugs is administered during the same treatment cycle, on the same day of treatment, as the one or more other drugs, and, optionally, at the same time as the one or more other drugs. For instance, for cancer therapies given every four weeks, the concurrently administered drugs are each administered on Day 1 of each four-week (28-day) dosing cycle.
The term “antibody” herein specifically covers monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity. In one instance, the antibody is a full-length monoclonal antibody.
The term IgG “isotype” or “subclass” as used herein is meant any of the subclasses of immunoglobulins defined by the chemical and antigenic characteristics of their constant regions.
Depending on the amino acid sequences of the constant domains of their heavy chains, antibodies (immunoglobulins) can be assigned to different classes. There are five major classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG 1 , lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, Ig A1 , and lgA2. The heavy chain constant domains that correspond to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called a, y, e, y, and p, respectively. The subunit structures and three-dimensional configurations of different classes of immunoglobulins are well known and described generally in, for example, Abbas et al. Cellular and Mol. Immunology, 4th ed. (W.B. Saunders, Co., 2000). An antibody may be part of a larger fusion molecule, formed by covalent or non- covalent association of the antibody with one or more other proteins or peptides.
The terms “full-length antibody,” “intact antibody,” and “whole antibody” are used herein interchangeably to refer to an antibody in its substantially intact form, not antibody fragments as defined below. The terms refer to an antibody comprising an Fc region.
The term “Fc region” herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that contains at least a portion of the constant region. The term includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. In one aspect, a human IgG heavy chain Fc region extends from Cys226, or from Pro230, to the carboxyl-terminus of the heavy chain. However, antibodies produced by host cells may undergo post-translational cleavage of one or more, particularly one or two, amino acids from the C- terminus of the heavy chain. Therefore, an antibody produced by a host cell by expression of a specific nucleic acid molecule encoding a full-length heavy chain may include the full-length heavy chain, or it may include a cleaved variant of the full-length heavy chain. This may be the case where the final two C- terminal amino acids of the heavy chain are glycine (G446) and lysine (K447). Therefore, the C-terminal lysine (Lys447), or the C-terminal glycine (Gly446) and lysine (Lys447), of the Fc region may or may not be present. Amino acid sequences of heavy chains including an Fc region are denoted herein without the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) if not indicated otherwise. In one aspect, a heavy chain including an Fc region as specified herein, comprised in an antibody disclosed herein, comprises an additional C-terminal glycine-lysine dipeptide (G446 and K447). In one aspect, a heavy chain including an Fc region as specified herein, comprised in an antibody disclosed herein, comprises an additional C-terminal glycine residue (G446). In one aspect, a heavy chain including an Fc region as specified herein, comprised in an antibody disclosed herein, comprises an additional C-terminal lysine residue (K447). In one embodiment, the Fc region contains a single amino acid substitution N297A of the heavy chain. Unless otherwise specified herein, numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region is according to the EU numbering system, also called the EU index, as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991 .
The Kabat numbering system is generally used when referring to a residue in the variable domain (approximately residues 1 -107 of the light chain and residues 1 -113 of the heavy chain) (e.g., Kabat et al., Sequences of Immunological Interest. 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991 )). The “EU numbering system” or “EU index” is generally used when referring to a residue in an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region (e.g., the EU index reported in Kabat et al., supra). The “EU index as in Kabat” refers to the residue numbering of the human IgG 1 EU antibody.
A “naked antibody” refers to an antibody that is not conjugated to a heterologous moiety (e.g., a cytotoxic moiety) or radiolabel. The naked antibody may be present in a pharmaceutical composition.
The term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical and/or bind the same epitope, except for possible variant antibodies, e.g., containing naturally occurring mutations or arising during production of a monoclonal antibody preparation, such variants generally being present in minor amounts. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. Thus, the modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies in accordance with the present invention may be made by a variety of techniques, including but not limited to the hybridoma method, recombinant DNA methods, phage-display methods, and methods utilizing transgenic animals containing all or part of the human immunoglobulin loci.
The term “hypervariable region” or “HVR” as used herein refers to each of the regions of an antibody variable domain which are hypervariable in sequence and which determine antigen binding specificity, for example “complementarity determining regions” (“CDRs”).
Generally, antibodies comprise six CDRs: three in the VH (CDR-H1 , CDR-H2, CDR-H3), and three in the VL (CDR-L1 , CDR-L2, CDR-L3). Exemplary CDRs herein include:
(a) hypervariable loops occurring at amino acid residues 26-32 (L1 ), 50-52 (L2), 91 -96 (L3), 26-32 (H1 ), 53-55 (H2), and 96-101 (H3) (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901 -917 (1987)); (b) CDRs occurring at amino acid residues 24-34 (L1 ), 50-56 (L2), 89-97 (L3), 31 -35b (H1 ), 50-65 (H2), and 95-102 (H3) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991 )); and
(c) antigen contacts occurring at amino acid residues 27c-36 (L1 ), 46-55 (L2), 89-96 (L3), 30-35b (H1 ), 47-58 (H2), and 93-101 (H3) (MacCallum et al. J. Mol. Biol. 262: 732-745 (1996)).
Unless otherwise indicated, the CDRs are determined according to Kabat et al., supra. One of skill in the art will understand that the CDR designations can also be determined according to Chothia, supra, McCallum, supra, or any other scientifically accepted nomenclature system.
“Framework” or “FR” refers to variable domain residues other than complementary determining regions (CDRs). The FR of a variable domain generally consists of four FR domains: FR1 , FR2, FR3, and FR4. Accordingly, the CDR and FR sequences generally appear in the following sequence in VH (or VL): FR1 -CDR-H1 (CDR-L1 )-FR2- CDR-H2(CDR-L2)-FR3- CDR-H3(CDR-L3)-FR4.
The term “variable domain residue numbering as in Kabat” or “amino acid position numbering as in Kabat,” and variations thereof, refers to the numbering system used for heavy chain variable domains or light chain variable domains of the compilation of antibodies in Kabat et al., supra. Using this numbering system, the actual linear amino acid sequence may contain fewer or additional amino acids corresponding to a shortening of, or insertion into, a FR or HVR of the variable domain. For example, a heavy chain variable domain may include a single amino acid insert (residue 52a according to Kabat) after residue 52 of H2 and inserted residues (e.g., residues 82a, 82b, and 82c, etc., according to Kabat) after heavy chain FR residue 82. The Kabat numbering of residues may be determined for a given antibody by alignment at regions of homology of the sequence of the antibody with a “standard” Kabat numbered sequence.
The term “monospecific” antibody as used herein denotes an antibody that has one or more binding sites each of which bind to the same epitope of the same antigen. The term “bispecific” antibody as used herein means that the antibody is able to specifically bind to at least two distinct antigens, for example two binding sites each formed by a pair of an antibody heavy chain variable domain (VH) and an antibody light chain variable domain (VL) binding to different antigens or to different epitopes on the same antigen. Such a bispecific antibody is an 1 +1 format. Other bispecific antibody formats are 2+1 formats (comprising two binding sites for a first antigen or epitope and one binding site for a second antigen or epitope) or 2+2 formats (comprising two binding sites for a first antigen or epitope and two binding sites for a second antigen or epitope). Typically, a bispecific antibody comprises two antigen binding sites, each of which is specific for a different antigen.
The term “valent” as used within the current application denotes the presence of a specified number of binding domains in an antigen binding molecule. As such, the terms “bivalent,” “tetravalent,” and “hexavalent” denote the presence of two binding domains, four binding domains, and six binding domains, respectively, in an antigen binding molecule. The bispecific antibodies according to the invention are at least “bivalent” and may be “trivalent” or “multivalent” (e.g., “tetravalent” or “hexavalent”). In a particular aspect, the antibodies of the present invention have two or more binding sites and are bispecific. That is, the antibodies may be bispecific even in cases where there are more than two binding sites (i.e. , that the antibody is trivalent or multivalent). An "antibody fragment" refers to a molecule other than an intact antibody that comprises a portion of an intact antibody that binds the antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Examples of antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab’-SH, F(ab')2; diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, cross-Fab fragments; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g., scFv); multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments and single domain antibodies. For a review of certain antibody fragments, see Hudson et al., Nat Med 9, 129-134 (2003). For a review of scFv fragments, see e.g., Pluckthun, in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994); see also WO 93/16185; and U.S. Patent Nos. 5,571 ,894 and 5,587,458. For discussion of Fab and F(ab')2 fragments comprising salvage receptor binding epitope residues and having increased in vivo half-life, see U.S. Patent No. 5,869,046. Diabodies are antibody fragments with two antigen-binding domains that may be bivalent or bispecific, see, for example, EP 404,097; WO 1993/01161 ; Hudson et al., Nat Med 9, 129-134 (2003); and Hollinger et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 90, 6444-6448 (1993). Triabodies and tetrabodies are also described in Hudson et al., Nat Med 9, 129-134 (2003). Single-domain antibodies are antibody fragments comprising all or a portion of the heavy chain variable domain or all or a portion of the light chain variable domain of an antibody. In certain embodiments, a single-domain antibody is a human single-domain antibody (Domantis, Inc., Waltham, MA; see e.g., U.S. Patent No. 6,248,516 B1 ). In addition, antibody fragments comprise single chain polypeptides having the characteristics of a VH domain, namely being able to assemble together with a VL domain, or of a VL domain, namely being able to assemble together with a VH domain to a functional antigen binding site and thereby providing the antigen binding property of full-length antibodies. Antibody fragments can be made by various techniques, including but not limited to proteolytic digestion of an intact antibody as well as production by recombinant host cells (e.g., E. coli or phage), as described herein.
Papain digestion of intact antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding fragments, called “Fab” fragments containing each the heavy- and light-chain variable domains and also the constant domain of the light chain and the first constant domain (CH1 ) of the heavy chain. As used herein, Thus, the term “Fab fragment” refers to an antibody fragment comprising a light chain fragment comprising a VL domain and a constant domain of a light chain (CL), and a VH domain and a first constant domain (CH1 ) of a heavy chain. Fab’ fragments differ from Fab fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain including one or more cysteins from the antibody hinge region. Fab’-SH are Fab’ fragments wherein the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. Pepsin treatment yields an F(ab')2 fragment that has two antigen-combining sites (two Fab fragments) and a part of the Fc region.
The term “cross-Fab fragment” or “xFab fragment” or “crossover Fab fragment” refers to a Fab fragment, wherein either the variable regions or the constant regions of the heavy and light chain are exchanged. Two different chain compositions of a crossover Fab molecule are possible and comprised in the bispecific antibodies of the invention: On the one hand, the variable regions of the Fab heavy and light chain are exchanged, i.e. , the crossover Fab molecule comprises a peptide chain composed of the light chain variable region (VL) and the heavy chain constant region (CH1 ), and a peptide chain composed of the heavy chain variable region (VH) and the light chain constant region (CL). This crossover Fab molecule is also referred to as CrossFab (VLVH). On the other hand, when the constant regions of the Fab heavy and light chain are exchanged, the crossover Fab molecule comprises a peptide chain composed of the heavy chain variable region (VH) and the light chain constant region (CL), and a peptide chain composed of the light chain variable region (VL) and the heavy chain constant region (CH1 ). This crossover Fab molecule is also referred to as CrossFab <CLCHI).
A “single chain Fab fragment” or “scFab” is a polypeptide consisting of an antibody heavy chain variable domain (VH), an antibody constant domain 1 (CH1 ), an antibody light chain variable domain (VL), an antibody light chain constant domain (CL) and a linker, wherein said antibody domains and said linker have one of the following orders in N-terminal to C-terminal direction: a) VH-CH1 -linker-VL-CL, b) VL-CL-linker-VH-CH1 , c) VH-CL-linker-VL-CH1 or d) VL-CH1 -linker-VH-CL; and wherein said linker is a polypeptide of at least 30 amino acids, preferably between 32 and 50 amino acids. Said single chain Fab fragments are stabilized via the natural disulfide bond between the CL domain and the CH1 domain. In addition, these single chain Fab molecules might be further stabilized by generation of interchain disulfide bonds via insertion of cysteine residues (e.g., position 44 in the variable heavy chain and position 100 in the variable light chain according to Kabat numbering).
A “crossover single chain Fab fragment” or “x-scFab” is a is a polypeptide consisting of an antibody heavy chain variable domain (VH), an antibody constant domain 1 (CH1 ), an antibody light chain variable domain (VL), an antibody light chain constant domain (CL) and a linker, wherein said antibody domains and said linker have one of the following orders in N-terminal to C-terminal direction: a) VH-CL- linker-VL-CH1 and b) VL-CH1 -linker-VH-CL; wherein VH and VL form together an antigen-binding domain which binds specifically to an antigen and wherein said linker is a polypeptide of at least 30 amino acids. In addition, these x-scFab molecules might be further stabilized by generation of interchain disulfide bonds via insertion of cysteine residues (e.g., position 44 in the variable heavy chain and position 100 in the variable light chain according to Kabat numbering).
A “single-chain variable fragment (scFv)” is a fusion protein of the variable regions of the heavy (VH) and light chains (VL) of an antibody, connected with a short linker peptide of ten to about 25 amino acids. The linker is usually rich in glycine for flexibility, as well as serine or threonine for solubility, and can either connect the N-terminus of the VH with the C-terminus of the VL, or vice versa. This protein retains the specificity of the original antibody, despite removal of the constant regions and the introduction of the linker. scFv antibodies are, e.g., described in Houston, J.S., Methods in Enzymol. 203 (1991 ) 46- 96). In addition, antibody fragments comprise single chain polypeptides having the characteristics of a VH domain, namely being able to assemble together with a VL domain, or of a VL domain, namely being able to assemble together with a VH domain to a functional antigen binding site and thereby providing the antigen binding property of full-length antibodies.
The term “effector functions” refers to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region of an antibody, which vary with the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include: C1q binding and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell- mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), cytokine secretion, immune complex-mediated antigen uptake by antigen presenting cells, down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptor), and B cell activation.
An “activating Fc receptor” is an Fc receptor that following engagement by an Fc region of an antibody elicits signaling events that stimulate the receptor-bearing cell to perform effector functions. Activating Fc receptors include FcyRllla (CD16a), FcyRI (CD64), FcyRlla (CD32), and FcaRI (CD89). A particular activating Fc receptor is human FcyRllla (see UniProt accession no. P08637, version 141).
“Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity” with respect to a reference polypeptide sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the reference polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. For purposes herein, however, % amino acid sequence identity values are generated using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was authored by Genentech, Inc., and the source code has been filed with user documentation in the U.S. Copyright Office, Washington D.C., 20559, where it is registered under U.S. Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available from Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, California, or may be compiled from the source code. The ALIGN-2 program should be compiled for use on a UNIX operating system, including digital UNIX V4.0D. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.
In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for amino acid sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows:
100 times the fraction X/Y where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program’s alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % amino acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer program.

E. Assessment of PD-L1 Expression
The expression of PD-L1 may be assessed in a subject treated according to any of the methods, uses, and compositions for use described herein. The methods, uses, and compositions for use may include determining the expression level of PD-L1 in a biological sample (e.g., a tumor sample, e.g., an NSCLC sample) obtained from the subject. In some examples, the expression level of PD-L1 in a biological sample (e.g., a tumor sample) obtained from the subject has been determined prior to initiation of treatment or after initiation of treatment. PD-L1 expression may be determined using any suitable approach. For example, PD-L1 expression may be determined as described in U.S. Patent Application Pub. Nos. US 2018/0030138A1 and US 2018/0037655A1 . Any suitable tumor sample may be used, e.g., a formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor sample, an archival tumor sample, a fresh tumor sample, or a frozen tumor sample. For example, PD-L1 expression may be determined in terms of the percentage of a tumor sample comprised by tumor-infiltrating immune cells expressing a detectable expression level of PD-L1 , as the percentage of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in a tumor sample expressing a detectable expression level of PD-L1 , and/or as the percentage of tumor cells in a tumor sample expressing a detectable expression level of PD-L1 . It is to be understood that in any of the preceding examples, the percentage of the tumor sample comprised by tumor-infiltrating immune cells may be in terms of the percentage of tumor area covered by tumor-infiltrating immune cells in a section of the tumor sample obtained from the subject, for example, as assessed by IHC using an anti-PD-L1 antibody (e.g., the SP142 antibody).

In a still further specific aspect, the anti-PD-L1 antibody has reduced or minimal effector function. In a still further specific aspect, the minimal effector function results from an “effector-less Fc mutation” or aglycosylation mutation. In still a further instance, the effector-less Fc mutation is an N297A or D265A/N297A substitution in the constant region. In still a further instance, the effector-less Fc mutation is an N297A substitution in the constant region. In some instances, the isolated anti-PD-L1 antibody is aglycosylated. Glycosylation of antibodies is typically either N-linked or O- linked. N-linked refers to the attachment of the carbohydrate moiety to the side chain of an asparagine residue. The tripeptide sequences asparagine-X-serine and asparagine-X-threonine, where X is any amino acid except proline, are the recognition sequences for enzymatic attachment of the carbohydrate moiety to the asparagine side chain. Thus, the presence of either of these tripeptide sequences in a polypeptide creates a potential glycosylation site. O-linked glycosylation refers to the attachment of one of the sugars N- acetylgalactosamine, galactose, or xylose to a hydroxyamino acid, most commonly serine or threonine, although 5-hydroxyproline or 5-hydroxylysine may also be used. Removal of glycosylation sites from an antibody is conveniently accomplished by altering the amino acid sequence such that one of the abovedescribed tripeptide sequences (for N-linked glycosylation sites) is removed. The alteration may be made by substitution of an asparagine, serine or threonine residue within the glycosylation site with another amino acid residue (e.g., glycine, alanine, or a conservative substitution).

In some instances, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist and/or any additional therapeutic agent(s) may be administered on the same day. In some instances, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist may be administered prior to an additional therapeutic agent that is administered on the same day. For example, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist may be administered prior to chemotherapy on the same day. In another example, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist may be administered prior to both chemotherapy and another drug on the same day. In other instances, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist may be administered after an additional therapeutic agent that is administered on the same day. In yet other instances, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist is administered at the same time as the additional therapeutic agent. In some instances, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist is in a separate composition as the additional therapeutic agent. In some instances, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist is in the same composition as the additional therapeutic agent. In some instances, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist is administered through a separate intravenous line from any other therapeutic agent administered to the subject on the same day.
The PD-1 axis binding antagonist and any additional therapeutic agent(s) may be administered by the same route of administration or by different routes of administration. In some instances, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist is administered intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, topically, orally, transdermally, intraperitoneally, intraorbitally, by implantation, by inhalation, intrathecally, intraventricularly, or intranasally. In some instances, the additional therapeutic agent is administered intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, topically, orally, transdermally, intraperitoneally, intraorbitally, by implantation, by inhalation, intrathecally, intraventricularly, or intranasally.
In a preferred embodiment, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist is administered intravenously. In one example, atezolizumab may be administered intravenously over 60 minutes; if the first infusion is tolerated, all subsequent infusions may be delivered over 30 minutes. In some examples, the PD-1 axis binding antagonist is not administered as an intravenous push or bolus.

VI. EXAMPLES
Example 1 : A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Tiragolumab Plus Atezolizumab Compared with Placebo Plus Atezolizumab in Participants With Completely Resected Stage IIB, IIIA, or Select IIIB, PD-L1 Positive, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Received Adjuvant Platinum-Based Chemotherapy
G045006 is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global, multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab compared with placebo plus atezolizumab administered to participants with PD-L1 positive (percentage of tumor cells with any membrane staining above background > 1% (>1% TC) as determined using the investigational VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) CDx assay) Stage IIB, IIIA, or select IIIB (T3N2 only) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following resection and adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. NSCLC staging is determined according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/Union Internationale Contre le Cancer (UICC) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Staging, 8th edition (AJCC 8th edition (Detterbeck et al., Chest, 151 : 193-203, 2017); see, e.g., Table 4 herein). T3N2 Stage 11 IB NSCLC is NSCLC in which the primary tumor is T3 (i.e., is > 5 cm but < 7 cm in greatest dimension or associated with separate tumor nodule(s) in the same lobe as the primary tumor or directly invades any of the following structures: chest wall (including the parietal pleura and superior sulcus tumors), phrenic nerve, and parietal pericardium) and the lymph node status is N2 (i.e., regional lymph node involvement is characterized as metastasis in ipsilateral mediastinal and/or subcarinal lymph node(s)).

Example 2: Study Design
A study schema for the G045006 study is provided in Fig. 1 .
Male and female participants age > 18 years old with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1 who have had a complete surgical resection of Stage IIB, IIIA, or select IIIB (T3N2 only) NSCLC with PD-L1 > 1% TC expression, followed by adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy, with no evidence of recurrent disease, are eligible for participation in the study.
Screening tests and evaluations, except central PD-L1 tissue testing (and/or EGFR or ALK as applicable), must be performed after the last dose of chemotherapy and within 28 days of randomization. During pre-screening or screening, tumor tissue from each potentially eligible participant is tested for PD- L1 expression by a central laboratory using the investigational VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) CDx Assay. Only participants with PD L1 expression > 1% TC as determined by the investigational VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) CDx assay are eligible for enrollment.
Participants whose tumors have a known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement are excluded from enrollment in the study. Participants with non-squamous NSCLC who have an unknown EGFR or ALK status are required to be tested at screening. Participants with squamous NSCLC who have unknown EGFR or ALK status are eligible and are not required to be tested at pre-screening or screening. EGFR and/or ALK status may be assessed locally or at a central laboratory.
Approximately 1150 participants (approximately 700 participants (approximately 60%) having PD- L1 > 50% TC, and approximately 450 participants (approximately 40%) having PD-L1 >1% and <50% TC) are enrolled in the study. Enrollment of a specific PD-L1 population is capped once it hits its specified target. Participants who discontinue study treatment prematurely are not replaced.
Randomization must be completed 70 days at the latest after the final dose of chemotherapy. Eligible participants are randomized in a 1 :1 ratio to receive either tiragolumab plus atezolizumab or placebo plus atezolizumab. Participants receive their first dose of study treatment on the day of randomization, if possible. If this is not possible, the first dose should occur within 5 days of randomization.
Eligible participants are stratified by tumor histology (squamous vs. non-squamous), disease stage (Stage I IB vs. Stage 11 IA + select II IB (T3N2 only)) and PD-L1 status (>1% and <50% TC vs. > 50% TC). Enrollment into the PD-L1 >1% and <50% TC sub-group is capped at approximately 450 participants (approximately 40% of participants), and enrollment into the PD-L1 > 50% TC sub-group is capped at approximately 700 participants (approximately 60% of participants).
In the experimental arm, tiragolumab at a dose of 840 mg plus atezolizumab at a dose of 1680 mg is administered by IV co-infusion (tiragolumab and atezolizumab are mixed and administered in one IV bag) on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle for a total of 13 cycles (approximately 1 year). In the comparator arm, placebo plus atezolizumab at a dose of 1680 mg is administered by IV co-infusion on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle for a maximum of 13 cycles.
Crossover from the placebo plus atezolizumab arm to the tiragolumab plus atezolizumab arm is not allowed.
Treatment is continued for a maximum of 13 cycles (approximately 1 year) in the absence of disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.
All participants undergo scheduled disease assessment scans by computed tomography (CT) at screening and every 16 weeks (± 2 weeks) starting at Cycle 1 , Day 1 in the first year, every 26 weeks (± 4 weeks) in Years 2-5, and annually thereafter (low-dose non-contrast CT recommended after 5 years). Disease assessments continue per schedule regardless of whether study treatment is completed or held or discontinued (for any reason) until disease recurrence, withdrawal of consent, death, or study termination, whichever occurs first. Disease recurrence must be determined radiographically as evidenced by local/regional recurrence, distant metastasis, or a second primary NSCLC. If a disease assessment shows disease recurrence, it must be confirmed pathologically, unless not clinically feasible.
Safety assessments include the incidence, nature, and severity of adverse events, graded per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5.0.
Participants are asked to complete participant-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires during study treatment, at treatment discontinuation/completion, and at disease assessment time points during post-treatment follow-up.
During the study, serum samples are collected to monitor atezolizumab and tiragolumab pharmacokinetics and to detect the presence of antibodies to atezolizumab and tiragolumab. Participant samples, including archival and fresh tumor tissue, serum, plasma, and blood samples, are also collected for exploratory biomarker assessments.
After initiation of study treatment, all adverse events are reported until 30 days after the final dose of study treatment or until initiation of another systemic anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first. Serious adverse events continue to be reported until 90 days after the final dose of study treatment or until initiation of a new systemic anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first. In addition, adverse events of special interest continue to be reported until 90 days after the final dose of study treatment, regardless of initiation of new anti-cancer therapy. After this period, investigators report serious adverse events that are believed to be related to prior treatment with study drug(s). The investigator should follow each adverse event until the event has resolved to baseline grade or better, the event is assessed as stable by the investigator, the participant is lost to follow-up, or the participant withdraws consent.
After discontinuation of treatment, participants enter the post-treatment follow-up period of the study. Post-treatment follow-up consists of ongoing assessments as described above. Follow-up information is collected until death, loss to follow-up, or study termination, whichever occurs first.

The study enrolls participants with PD-L1 > 1% TC Stage I IB, 11 IA, or select I IIB (T3N2) NSCLC. With cancer immunotherapy (CIT) and targeted therapies becoming available for resectable NSCLC, treatment options for some patients have improved over chemotherapy-based regimens. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of patients will still experience disease recurrence and will die from their disease, highlighting the need to continue to build on the recent successes.
Rationale for primary endpoint
While OS is the gold standard for establishing benefit in oncology clinical trials, the time necessary for an OS readout in the adjuvant NSCLC setting could lead to an unacceptable delay in making a new effective therapy available to participants. DFS (the primary efficacy endpoint in this study) is a meaningful and reliable efficacy endpoint with earlier time to evaluation compared to OS. DFS appears strongly correlated with OS in the adjuvant NSCLC setting, as demonstrated in several metaanalyses with chemotherapy (Michiels et al., Journal of Clinical Oncology, 29(15): 7004, 2011 ; Mauguen et al., Lancet Oncol, 14: 619-626, 2013). Furthermore, DFS is recommended by the FDA as a surrogate endpoint for both accelerated and traditional approval and has as such been used as the primary basis for approval for adjuvant therapy in several indications including for adjuvant CIT in NSCLC (FDA Guidance to Industry, 2018; and KEYTRUDA® U.S. Package Insert).
Secondary efficacy endpoints, including DFS rates at specific timepoints and OS, provide supportive measures of efficacy.
B. End of study and duration of participation
The end of the study occurs when the last patient, last visit has occurred or the date at which the last data point required for statistical analysis (i.e., final analysis for DFS) or safety follow-up is received from the last participant, whichever occurs later. The total length of study, from randomization of the first participant to the end of study, is expected to be approximately 15 years.
Participation continues until withdrawal or death due to any cause. Example 3: Study Population
Approximately 1 150 participants (approximately 700 participants with PD-L1 > 50% TC and approximately 450 participants with PD-L1 >1% and <50% TC by the investigational VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) CDx assay) with completely resected Stage 11 B, 111 A, or select 11 IB (T3N2) NSCLC who have received adjuvant platinum-based doublet chemotherapy are enrolled in the G045006 study.

Example 4: Study Treatment and Concomitant Therapy
Table 7 provides a description of assigned study treatments for the G045006 study.
Table 7. Study Treatment Description
Figure imgf000070_0001
Q4W = every 4 weeks.
The treatment regimens are summarized below. "Study treatment" as used herein refers to the combination of treatments assigned to participants as part of the study (e.g., atezolizumab plus tiragolumab). Administration of study treatment is performed in a monitored setting where there is immediate access to trained personnel and adequate equipment and medicine to manage potentially serious reactions.
A. Tiragolumab and atezolizumab or placebo and atezolizumab
Tiragolumab/atezolizumab and placebo/atezolizumab co-infusions are administered per the instructions outlined in Table 8.
Tiragolumab or placebo is administered by IV infusion at a fixed dose of 840 mg together with 1680 mg of atezolizumab mixed in the same IV bag for co-infusion on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle.
Except for Day 1 of Cycle 1 and the 6 and 12 months after treatment discontinuation (or 6 months after disease recurrence), all other study visits and assessments during the treatment period may performed within ± 3 days of the scheduled date. Thus, tiragolumab/atezolizumab and placebo/atezolizumab co-infusions may be administered on Day 1 ± 3 days of each 28-day cycle, with the exception of Cycle 1 .

Tiragolumab/Placebo
Figure imgf000071_0001
B. Treatment assignment and blinding
Treatment assignment
The study is a randomized, double-blind study.
Randomization must be completed within 70 days (10 weeks) after the final dose of chemotherapy. Eligible participants are randomized in a 1 :1 ratio to receive either tiragolumab plus atezolizumab or placebo plus atezolizumab. Participants receive their first dose of study treatment on the day of randomization, if possible. If this is not possible, the first dose should occur within 5 days of randomization.
Eligible participants are stratified by tumor histology (squamous vs. non-squamous), disease stage (Stage II vs. Stage I HA + select II IB (T3N2)), and PD-L1 status ((>1 % and <50% TC vs. > 50% TC) by the investigational VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) CDx assay. A permuted-block randomization is applied to ensure a balanced assignment to each treatment arm within levels of the stratification factors.
C. Concomitant therapy
Permitted therapy
Participants are permitted to use the following therapies during the study:
• Oral contraceptives with a failure rate of < 1 % per year.
• Hormone-replacement therapy.
• Prophylactic or therapeutic anticoagulation therapy (such as warfarin at a stable dose or low-molecular- weight heparin).
• Vaccinations (such as influenza, COVID 19). Live, attenuated vaccines are not permitted.
• Megestrol acetate administered as an appetite stimulant.
• Mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone).
• Corticosteroids administered for COPD or asthma.
• Low-dose corticosteroids administered for orthostatic hypotension or adrenocortical insufficiency.
Premedication with antihistamines, antipyretic medications, and/or analgesics may be administered for the second and subsequent infusions, at the discretion of the investigator.
In general, investigators manage a participant's care (including preexisting conditions) with supportive therapies other than those defined below as cautionary or prohibited therapies as clinically indicated, per local standard practice. Participants who experience infusion-associated symptoms may be treated symptomatically with acetaminophen, ibuprofen, diphenhydramine, and/or H2 receptor antagonists (e.g., famotidine, cimetidine), or equivalent medications per local standard practice. Serious infusion-associated events manifested by dyspnea, hypotension, wheezing, bronchospasm, tachycardia, reduced oxygen saturation, or respiratory distress are managed with supportive therapies as clinically indicated (e.g., supplemental oxygen and p2-adrenergic agonists).
Cautionary therapy
Systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressive medications, and TNF-a inhibitors may attenuate potential beneficial immunologic effects of treatment with tiragolumab and/or atezolizumab. Therefore, in situations in which systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressive medications, or TNF-a inhibitors would be routinely administered, alternatives, including antihistamines, should be considered. If the alternatives are not feasible, systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressive medications and TNF-a inhibitors may be administered at the discretion of the investigator.
Systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressive medications are recommended, at the discretion of the investigator, for the treatment of specific adverse events when associated with tiragolumab and/or atezolizumab therapy. Concomitant use of herbal therapies is not recommended because their pharmacokinetics, safety profiles, and potential drug-drug interactions are generally unknown. However, herbal therapies not intended for the treatment of cancer may be used during the study at the discretion of the investigator.
Prohibited therapy
Use of the following concomitant therapies is prohibited as described below:
• Concomitant therapy intended for the treatment of cancer (including, but not limited to, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), and herbal therapy), whether health authority- approved or experimental, for various time periods prior to starting study treatment, depending on the agent, and during study treatment, until disease recurrence is documented and the participant has discontinued study treatment.
• Investigational therapy within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment and during study treatment
• Live, attenuated vaccines (e.g., FLUMIST®) within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, during study treatment, for 90 days after the final dose of tiragolumab/placebo. and for 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab.
• Systemic immunostimulatory agents (including, but not limited to, IFNs and IL-2) within 4 weeks or 5 drug-elimination half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to initiation of study treatment and during study treatment because these agents could potentially increase the risk for autoimmune conditions when given in combination with study treatment.
Example 5: Study Assessments and Procedures
Participants are closely monitored for safety throughout the study. Participants should be assessed for toxicity prior to each dose; treatment will be administered only if the clinical assessment and local laboratory test values are acceptable.
A. Efficacy Assessments
Screening and subsequent disease assessments include computed tomography (CT) scans with contrast of the chest and abdomen (including liver and adrenal glands). If a CT scan with contrast is contraindicated (e.g., in participants with impaired renal clearance), a non-contrast CT of the chest plus a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen is preferred, and a chest/abdomen CT non-contrast is acceptable. MRI scan (preferred) or contrast CT of the brain must be done at screening to evaluate CNS metastasis in all participants (MRI scan must be performed if CT scan is contraindicated). An MRI scan of the brain is required to confirm or refute the diagnosis of CNS metastases at baseline in the event of an equivocal CT scan. Bone scans and CT scans of the neck should also be performed if clinically indicated.
The same radiographic modality (e.g. CT with contrast) and procedures (e.g., the same contrast protocol for CT scans) used at screening should be used for subsequent disease assessments. B. Clinical Outcome Assessments
Patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments are completed to assess the patient-reported tolerability of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab at the selected dosages, and to confirm the safety profile of the doublet combination. In addition, PRO instruments enable the capture of each participant's direct experience with tiragolimab plus atezolizumab.
PRO data are collected through use of the following instruments: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-LC13, EORTC-IL46, and PRO- CTCAE (selected items), and EQ-5D-5L.
The PROs are administered in the following order: EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-LC13, EORTC-IL46, PRO-CTCAE (selected items), and EQ-5D-5L.
The QLQ-C30 is a validated, reliable self-reported measure (see Aaronson et al., J Natl Cancer Inst, 85: 365-376, 1993; Fitzsimmons et al., EurJ Cancer, 35: 939-941 , 1999).
The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is a self-reported PRO measure that is a lung cancer-specific module to the EORTC QLQ-C30 (Bergman et al., Eur J Cancer, 30A: 635-642, 1994).
The PRO-CTCAE is a validated item library that is used to characterize the presence, frequency of occurrence, severity, and/or degree of interference with daily function of 78 participant-reportable symptomatic treatment toxicities (Basch et al., J Natl Cancer Inst, 106: 1 -11 , 2014; Dueck et al., JAMA Oncol, 1 : 1051 -1059, 2015).
The EORTC IL46 is a validated single item from the EORTC Item Library which assesses the extent that participants have been troubled by the side effects from their treatment. It is rated on a 4-point scale, ranging from “not at all” to “very much.”
The EQ-5D-5L is a validated self-reported health status questionnaire that is used to calculate a health status utility score for use in health economic analyses (EuroQol Group, Health Policy, 16: 199- 208, 1990; Brooks, Health Policy, 37: 53-72, 1996; Herdman et al., Qual Life Res, 20: 1727-1736, 2011 ; Janssen et al., Qual Life Res, 22: 1717-1727, 2013)
Example 6: Statistical Considerations
Hypotheses are formally tested regarding the effect of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab compared to placebo plus atezolizumab on investigator-assessed disease-free survival (DFS) in the PD-L1 high analysis set (PHAS) (PD-L1 > 50% TC by SP263) and the full analysis set (FAS) (PD-L1 > 1% TC by SP263 CDx assay). The null (HO) and alternative (H1 ) hypotheses regarding investigator-assessed DFS in the PHAS and FAS is tested at a two-sided significance level of 0.038 and 0.012, respectively, and can be phrased in terms of the population hazard ratio X between the experimental arm and the control arm:
HO: X = 1 versus
Figure imgf000074_0001
All hypothesis tests are two-sided unless stated otherwise.
A. Sample size determination
A total of approximately 1150 participants (approximately 700 participants with PD-L1 > 50% TC and approximately 450 participants with PD-L1 >1% and <50% TC by investigational VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) CDx assay) are randomized into the study. The detailed assumptions and calculations are listed below.
Type I error control
The overall type I error rate for the study is 0.05 (two-sided). The primary endpoints of investigator-assessed DFS in the PHAS and FAS are tested at a two-sided a level of 0.038 and 0.012, respectively.
If DFS is statistically significant in the PHAS, then the two-sided a of 0.038 is recycled to the FAS and the FAS is tested at two-sided a of 0.05.
If the DFS is statistically significant in the FAS, then the two-sided aof 0.012 is recycled to the PHAS to be tested at a two-sided a of 0.05 level.
The study is positive as long as any of the primary endpoints is positive.
Investigator-assessed disease-free survival
The final analysis for the primary endpoint of investigator-assessed DFS takes place when approximately 322 DFS events in the PHAS and approximately 652 DFS events in the FAS have been observed, whichever occurs later.
The estimated number of events required to demonstrate efficacy with regard to DFS in the PHAS are based on the following assumptions:
• 1 :1 randomization ratio.
• Two-sided a of 0.038.
• DFS curve follows the exponential distribution.
• Median DFS of 65 months for placebo plus atezolizumab arm.
• 85% power to detect a DFS HR of 0.70.
• One interim analysis is performed when approximately 249 DFS events in the PHAS have occurred. The stopping boundaries are computed using the Generalized Haybittle-Peto boundaries (Haybittie, Brit J Radiology, 44: 793-797, 1971 ) with unequal p-values of 0.0260 and 0.0252 at the interim and final DFS analyses, respectively.
• Enrollment period of approximately 64 months.
• Annual drop-out rate of 5%.
The estimated number of events required to demonstrate efficacy with regard to DFS in the FAS are based on the following assumptions:
• 1 :1 randomization ratio.
• Two-sided a of 0.012.
• D curve follows the exponential distribution.
• Median DFS of 51 months for placebo plus atezolizumab arm.
• 74% power to detect a DFS HR of 0.78.
• One interim analysis is performed when approximately 539 DFS events in the FAS have occurred. The stopping boundaries are computed using the Generalized Haybittle-Peto boundaries (Haybittie, Brit J Radiology, 44: 793-797, 1971 ) with unequal p-values of 0.0090 and 0.0071 (DFS analysis at the interim and final DFS analyses, respectively.
• Enrollment period of approximately 64 months.
• Annual drop-out rate of 5%.
With these assumptions, the final DFS analysis takes place approximately 120 months after the first participant is randomized. The minimum detectable difference in DFS HR at the final analysis is approximately 0.78 for the PHAS and 0.81 for the FAS. B. Analysis sets
The participant analysis sets for the purposes of analyses are defined in Table 9.
Table 9. Participant Analysis Sets
Figure imgf000076_0001
ADA= anti-drug antibody; FAS = full analysis set; PHAS = PD-L1 high analysis set; SAS = safety analysis set; PKAS = Phamacokinetic analysis set.
C. Statistical analyses
All efficacy analyses are performed on the PHAS and FAS, unless otherwise specified. All safety analyses are performed on the SAS, unless otherwise specified.
Estimation methods for the primary estimands
The primary objective for the study is to evaluate the efficacy of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab compared with placebo plus atezolizumab in participants with resected, Stage I IB, 111 A, or select 11 IB (T3N2 only) (AJCC 8th edition) PD-L1 > 50% TC and PD-L1 > 1% TC NSCLC who have received adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoints are investigator-assessed DFS in the PHAS and FAS. Investigator-assessed DFS is defined as the time from randomization to the occurrence of local/regional or distant recurrence of NSCLC, new primary NSCLC, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), as determined by the investigator. Data for participants who have not experienced local/regional or distant recurrence of NSCLC, a new primary NSCLC, or death are censored at the date of the last tumor assessment. If no post-baseline data are available, DFS is censored at the date of randomization.
The stratified log-rank test is used to compare DFS between the two treatment arms. The HR for DFS is estimated using a stratified Cox regression model, along with the 95% Cl. Stratification factors for analysis in the FAS include histology (non squamous vs. squamous), stage of disease (Stage I IB vs. Stage IIIA + select IIIB (T3N2)) and PD-L1 status (>1% and <50% TC vs. >50% TC). Stratification factors for analysis in the PHAS include histology and stage of disease. Results of the unstratified analysis are also provided. Kaplan-Meier methodology is used to estimate the median DFS for each treatment arm, and the Kaplan-Meier curve is constructed to provide a visual description of the difference among arms. The Brookmeyer-Crowley methodology is used to construct the two-sided 95% Cl for the median DFS for each treatment arm.
Estimation methods for the secondary estimands
Overall survival
Overall survival after randomization is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Data for participants who are not reported as having died at the date of analysis are censored at the date when they were last known to be alive. If no post-baseline data are available, OS is censored at the date of randomization.
The methodology for comparing OS between treatment arms in the PHAS and FAS is the same as the method used for treatment comparison for the primary endpoints of investigator-assessed DFS. Overall survival is analyzed at the time of the DFS analyses.
Investigator-assessed DFS 3- year, 5-year, and 7 -year rates
The investigator-assessed DFS rate at 3 years, 5 years, and 7 years is analyzed by treatment arm. The DFS rates are estimated by the Kaplan-Meier methodology for each treatment arm, with two- sided 95% Cis calculated using Greenwood’s formula.
Clinical outcome assessment analysis
The proportion of participants who maintained or meaningfully improved from baseline in patient- reported role, emotional, and physical functioning and GHS/QoL as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 is summarized by treatment arm. In general, a change of 10 points or more on scales of the EORTC QLQ- C30 was established by Osoba et al. (J Clin Oncol, 16: 139-144, 1998) to be clinically meaningful. This has been largely confirmed in studies with lung cancer patients, and specific estimates for individual scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and LC13 in lung cancer will be applied (Coon et al., Patient, 15: 691 - 702, 2022; Musoro et al., Eur J Cancer, 188: 171 -182, 2023). Maintenance of baseline is defined as a less than 10-point increase or decrease in deterioration of these domains. Safety analyses
Safety analyses are conducted in the SAS, defined as participants who receive at least one dose of tiragolumab/placebo or atezolizumab. Safety is assessed through summaries of exposure to study treatment, adverse events, changes in laboratory test results, and changes in vital signs and ECGs.
Study treatment exposure (such as treatment duration, total dose received, and number of cycles and dose modifications) is summarized with descriptive statistics.
All verbatim adverse event terms are mapped to Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) thesaurus terms, and adverse event severity is graded according to NCI CTCAE v5.0. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is graded according to the ASTCT CRS Consensus Grading Scale. All adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events leading to death, adverse events of special interest, and adverse events leading to study treatment discontinuation that occur or worsen on or after the first dose of study treatment (i.e. , treatment-emergent adverse events) are summarized by mapped term, appropriate thesaurus level, and severity grade. For events of varying severity, the highest grade is used in the summaries. Deaths and causes of death are summarized.
Relevant laboratory, vital sign (pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and temperature), and ECG data are displayed by time, with grades identified where appropriate. Additionally, a shift table of selected laboratory tests is used to summarize the baseline and maximum post-baseline severity grade. Changes in vital signs and ECGs are summarized.
Exploratory analyses
Clinical outcome assessment analyses
The analysis population for the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13 is the FAS. Completion rates are summarized at each timepoint by treatment arm for the EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-LC13 and EQ-5D-5L using the FAS.
Summary statistics (mean, standard deviation (SD), median, 25th and 75th percentiles, and range) and the mean change from baseline of linear-transformed scores are reported for all of the items and subscales of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-LC13. The number and proportion of participants who improved, worsened, or remained stable on each of the scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13 are summarized at each visit by treatment arm. Comparisons between treatment groups are made.
The analysis population for the PRO-CTCAE and EORTC IL46 is the SAS. Summaries of the data over time are based on the number of participants who provided data at each time point. Completion rates are summarized at each timepoint by treatment arm for the PRO-CTCAE and EORTC IL46 using the SAS population.
For patient-reported tolerability, the PRO-CTCAE analyses are primarily descriptive, with a focus on characterizing the pattern of symptomatic AE occurrence over the course of the study. PRO-CTCAE data are analyzed at the item level in accordance with current NCI recommendations for data handling (Basch et al., J Natl Cancer Inst, 106: 1 -11 , 2014). The number (percentage) of participants reporting symptoms by frequency, severity, and interference is reported at each visit by treatment arm. The change in the frequency of responses from baseline for each symptom is also summarized at each visit by treatment arm. Patient-reported bother with side effects, as measured by the EORTC IL46 item, is summarized descriptively at each assessment timepoint. The number (percentage) of participants reporting bother is reported at each visit by treatment arm. The change in the frequency of responses from baseline is also summarized at each visit by treatment arm.
Subgroup efficacy analyses
The effects of demographics (e.g., age, sex, race/ethinicity) and baseline prognostic characteristics (e.g., tumor stage, PD-L1 expression level by investigational VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) CDx assay, chemotherapy regimen before randomization, histology, smoking history, and ECOG Performance Staus) on duration of investigator-assessed DFS and OS are examined in the PHAS and FAS. Summaries of DFS and OS, including unstratified HRs estimated from Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier estimates of median survival time, are produced separately for each level of the cagegorical variables.
DFS and OS rate at landmark timepoints
In addition to the DFS 3-year, 5-year and 7-year rates as secondary endpoints, the DFS and OS rates (for example 3-year, 5-year, and 7-year rates) at various other timepoints in the PHAS and FAS are estimated by the Kaplan-Meier methodology for each treatment arm, with two-sided 95% Cis calculated using Greenwood’s formula for exploratory purposes.
Biomarker analysis
Exploratory biomarkers analysis including, but not limited to, tumor and immune-related gene signatures and circulating tumor DNA levels and dynamics are investigated. Additionally, ctDNA levels as an early indicator of disease recurrence are explored in the study.
Pharmacokinetic analyses
The pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis population for atezolizumab consists of all participants who received any dose of atezolizumab with at least 1 post-baseline atezolizumab PK assessment available. The PK analysis population for tiragolumab consists of all participants who received any dose of tiragolumab with at least 1 post-baseline tiragolumab PK assessment available. Samples are collected for PK analyses, and serum concentrations of atezolizumab and tiragolumab are reported as individual values and summarized (mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, range, geometric mean, and geometric mean coefficient of variation) by treatment arm and cycle, when appropriate and as data allow. Individual and median serum atezolizumab and tiragolumab concentrations are plotted for PK-evaluable participants by day.
Immunogenicity analyses
The immunogenicity analyses include participants with any ADA assessments, with participants grouped according to treatment received. The numbers and proportions of treatment-emergent ADApositive participants and ADA-negative participants for both tiragolumab and atezolizumab are summarized. The relationship between ADA status and safety, efficacy, and PK endpoints may be analyzed and reported via descriptive statistics.
D. Interim analyses
One interim analysis is planned for investigator-assessed DFS in the PHAS and FAS. The planned interim analysis of DFS is conducted when approximately 249 DFS events have occurred in the PHAS (77% of the total planned DFS events) and approximately 539 DFS events have occurred in the FAS (83% of the total planned DFS events), whichever occurs later. This interim analysis is estimated to occur approximately 90 months after the first participant is enrolled in the study.
The final DFS analysis is conducted when approximately 322 DFS events have occurred in the PHAS and approximately 652 DFS events have occurred in the FAS, whichever occurs later. This is estimated to occur approximately 120 months after the first participant is enrolled in the study.
The stopping boundaries for the interim and final analyses of DFS are computed using the Generalized Haybittle-Peto boundaries (Haybittie, Brit J Radiology, 44: 793-797, 1971 ) with unequal two- sided p-values of 0.0260 and 0.0252 for the PHAS, and 0.0090 and 0.0071 for the FAS, in the order of analysis. If the PHAS achieves statistical significance, then a is recycled to the FAS, and the two-sided p- values for the FAS are 0.0250 and 0.0436. If the FAS achieves statistical significance, then a is recycled to the PHAS, and the two-sided p-values for the PHAS are 0.0350 and 0.0331 .
Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, the descriptions and examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. The disclosures of all patent and scientific literature cited herein are expressly incorporated in their entirety by reference.
