Vismodegib Combined With Atezolizumab in Platinum Resistant Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Conditions
Summary
This trial will treat patients with platinum resistant ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer as defined by a progression free interval within six months of completion of most recent platinum-based treatment with a combination of vismodegib and atezolizumab. Despite recent improvements in treatment of ovarian cancer with the introduction of PARP inhibitors, response rates to therapy in the platinum resistant setting remain dismal with response rates of only 10-20% reported for single agent cytotoxic therapies. Given the poor prognosis and limited treatment options for these patients, this population is considered appropriate for trials of novel therapeutic candidates.

Interventions
A small-molecule SMO inhibitor designed to specifically target the hedgehog pathway, a known driver of BCC. It systemically inhibits hedgehog pathway signaling. Following mutation, SMO is released from the inhibitory effect of PTCH and moves to the cell surface, activating GLI. GLI travels to the nucleus and initiates transcription of target genes that regulate basal cell growth and proliferation.
Atezolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody immune checkpoint inhibitor that selectively binds to PD-L1 to stop the interaction between PD-1 and B7.1 (CD80 receptors). The antibody still allows interaction between PD-L2 and PD-1.
