Summary

This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects radiotherapy in combination with atezolizumab in treating patients with cutaneous squamous cell cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and can be removed from surgery (resectable) or cannot be remove by surgery (unresectable). Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. 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. Giving radiotherapy in combination with atezolizumab may help improve outcomes for remission (cancer that is under control) than taking either treatment separately.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether combining radiation therapy with an immunotherapy drug called atezolizumab can help treat advanced skin cancer (cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to a small number of other sites in the body. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with locally advanced or unresectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer) or it has spread to 1–3 other sites - Your tumors are large enough to be measured on scans - You are 18 or older and in reasonably good physical condition - Your blood counts, liver, and kidney function are within acceptable ranges - Your body weight is more than 30 kg **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have an active autoimmune disease that requires treatment - You have previously received certain immunotherapy drugs (anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-1) - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have severe liver disease or active viral hepatitis - You have active tuberculosis or other serious infections Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
