OBJECTIVES 
The goals of this trial are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the investigational treatment 
combination, and to determine whether the addition of CYT107 to atezolizumab improves the 
objective response rate achieved by atezolizumab alone in patients with advanced/non-resectable 
bladder cancer who have recurrent disease after platinum chemotherapy. 
1.1 
Primary Objectives 
To determine the clinical efficacy of the investigational treatment combination. 
The primary endpoint will be the Objective Response Rate (ORR), defined by Complete 
Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as measured by RECIST v1.1. 
1.2 
Secondary Objectives 
To determine the clinical activity and toxicity of the investigational treatment combination. 
 The clinical benefit rate (CBR), progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response 
(DOR), as measured by RECIST 1.1 and irRC, and overall survival (OS). 
 The CBR, PFS, DOR, and OS in all patients and patients stratified by PD-L1 expression 
levels in the tumor microenvironment. 
 The safety and toxicity of addition of CYT107 to atezolizumab. 
1.3 
Exploratory Objectives 
To determine the immune correlates of the clinical activity of the investigational treatment 
combination. 
The endpoints will include the evaluation of the effect of the investigational treatment 
combination on the tumor microenvironment, based upon baseline and post-baseline tumor 
biopsy comparisons of: 
• 
Number, distribution, and phenotype of tumor-infiltrating cells 
• 
PD-L1 expression 
• 
Expression of Interferon γ (IFNγ) and associated inflammatory gene expression in the 
tumor microenvironment 
Explore the effect of the investigational treatment combination on the number and phenotype of 
tumor-specific T cells in the peripheral blood. Investigate for evidence that the investigational 
treatment combination increases the exposure of bladder cancer-specific antigens (e.g., 
Cancer/Testis Antigens or neoantigens). Investigate changes in tumor microenvironment that 
correlate with response or provide information on potential actionable causes for lack of clinical 
benefit. Investigate the potential that administration of atezolizumab with CYT107 may perturb 
the pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of CYT107.

BACKGROUND 
2.1 
Study Disease(s) 
The proposed clinical trial is a phase II, open-label, multicenter, randomized study of the 
administration of Atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) monotherapy or in combination with 
Recombinant Human IL-7 (CYT107) in patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial 
carcinoma. 
Urothelial carcinoma is the fifth most common malignancy in the United States [Siegel 2014]. 
Advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma carries a grim prognosis and has limited treatment 
options [von der Maase 2000]. The immunogenicity of urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) was first 
demonstrated by the successful use of BCG for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and 
carcinoma in situ [Kamat 2001]. More recently, antibodies blocking PD-1/PD-L1 signaling in 
endogenous T cells have induced dramatic and durable clinical responses in patients with 
metastatic urothelial carcinoma, further highlighting urothelial carcinoma as a compelling target 
for T-cell immunotherapy [Powles 2014; Plimack 2017] 
Early studies with impressive response rates and durable responses led to regulatory approval of 
5 different PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies. This includes atezolizumab, durvalumab, nivolumab, 
avelumab, and pembrolizumab. Survival outcomes have been assessed in randomized phase 3 
trials with atezolizumab and pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab was successful in demonstrating 
improved overall survival outcomes over taxane or vinflunine chemotherapy in the post-
platinum–treated advanced or metastatic UBC setting [Bellmunt 2017]. Atezolizumab also 
demonstrated an overall survival benefit over taxane or vinflunine chemotherapy in the post-
platinum–treated advanced or metastatic UBC setting in the intention to treat analysis 
(presentation abstract). However, the primary study endpoint was based on an enrichment 
biomarker approach based on PD-L1 immunohistochemical staining, and that enrichment 
approach failed, as the biomarker was very clearly prognostic for improved outcomes in both 
arms, but not predictive for improved response to atezolizumab. 
We now attempt to demonstrate improved clinically meaningful outcomes with the addition of 
CYT107 to atezolizumab over atezolizumab alone for patients with advanced or metastatic 
urothelial carcinoma. 
2.2 
CTEP IND Agent(s) 
 Atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) 
Atezolizumab is a human immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody consisting of 2 
heavy chains (448 amino acids) and 2 light chains (214 amino acids) and is produced in 
Chinese hamster ovary cells [Investigators's Brochure]. Atezolizumab was engineered to 
eliminate Fc-effector function via a single amino acid substitution (asparagine to alanine) 
at position 298 on the heavy chain, which results in a nonglycosylated antibody that has 
minimal binding to Fc receptors, thus eliminating detectable Fc-effector function and 
associated antibody-mediated clearance of activated effector T cells. Atezolizumab 
targets human programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and inhibits the interaction with its

Version Date: October 12, 2022 
 
9 
 
PD-L1 and its receptors, PD-1 and B7-1 (also known as CD80), both of which function 
as inhibitory receptors expressed on T cells. 
Atezolizumab shows antitumor activity in both nonclinical models and cancer patients 
and is being investigated as a potential therapy in a wide variety of malignancies. 
Atezolizumab is being studied as a single agent in the advanced cancer and adjuvant 
therapy settings, as well as in combination with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and 
cancer immunotherapy. 
Atezolizumab was approved in the United States by the FDA in 2016 for the treatment of 
locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma and as well as metastatic non–small 
cell lung carcinoma. In March 2021, following the review of recent Atezolizumab 
bladder cancer studies and evaluation of other available treatment options, the indication 
for Atezolizumab in patients with urothelial carcinoma who have previously received 
platinum-based chemotherapy has been withdrawn in the United States, according to the 
drug’s developer, Roche. The decision to withdraw the agent for use in this patient 
population does not affect indications for Atezolizumab in other diseases including non-
small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, 
hepatocellular carcinoma and melanoma or as first-line treatment in cisplatin-ineligible 
patients with locally advanced and metastatic urothelial carcinoma.  
2.2.1.1 
Mechanism of Action 
PD-L1 expression is prevalent in many human tumors (e.g., lung, bladder, ovarian, 
melanoma, colon carcinoma), and its overexpression has been associated with poor 
prognosis in patients with several cancers [Thompson 2006; Hamanishi 2007; 
Okazaki 2007; Hino 2010]. PD-L1 binds to 2 known inhibitory receptors expressed 
on activated T cells (PD-1 and B7.1), and receptor expression is sustained in states of 
chronic stimulation such as chronic infection or cancer [Blank 2005; Keir 2008]. 
Ligation of PD-L1 with PD-1 or B7.1 inhibits T-cell proliferation, cytokine 
production, and cytolytic activity, leading to the functional inactivation or inhibition 
of T cells. Aberrant expression of PD-L1 on tumor cells has been reported to impede 
antitumor immunity, resulting in immune evasion [Blank 2007]. Therefore, 
interruption of the PD-L1/PD-1 and PD-L1/B7.1 pathway represents an attractive 
strategy to reinvigorate tumor-specific T-cell immunity. 
Blockade of PD-L1 or PD-1 with monoclonal antibodies has been reported to result in 
strong and often rapid antitumor effects in several mouse tumor models [Iwai 2002; 
Strome 2003]. These data suggest that tumor-specific T cells may be present in the 
tumor microenvironment in an inactive or inhibited state, and blockade of the PD-
L1/PD-1 pathway can reinvigorate tumor-specific T-cell responses. 
Collectively, these data establish the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway as a promising new 
therapeutic target in patients with advanced tumors. Immune-related adverse events 
(irAEs) reported from the 2 recent studies were consistent with the role of the PD-
L1/PD-1 pathway in regulating peripheral tolerance.

2.2.1.2 
Summary of Nonclinical Experience 
The safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and toxicokinetics of atezolizumab were 
investigated in mice and cynomolgus monkeys to support intravenous (IV) 
administration and to aid in projecting the appropriate starting dose in humans. Given 
the similar binding of atezolizumab for cynomolgus monkey and human PD-L1, the 
cynomolgus monkey was selected as the primary and relevant nonclinical model for 
understanding the safety, PK, and toxicokinetics of atezolizumab. 
Overall, the nonclinical PK and toxicokinetics observed for atezolizumab supported 
entry into clinical studies, including providing adequate safety factors for the 
proposed phase 1 starting doses. The results of the toxicology program were 
consistent with the anticipated pharmacologic activity of down-modulating the PD-
L1/PD-1 pathway and supported entry into clinical trials in patients. 
Refer to the Atezolizumab Investigator’s Brochure for details on the nonclinical 
studies. 
2.2.1.3 
Summary of Clinical Experience 
A summary of clinical data from company-sponsored atezolizumab trials is presented 
below. Details of all ongoing studies can be found in the most recent Atezolizumab 
Investigator’s Brochure. 
2.2.1.3.1. 
Clinical PK and Immunogenicity 
On the basis of available preliminary PK data (0.03–20 mg/kg), atezolizumab 
shows linear PK at doses ≥1 mg/kg [Investigators's Brochure]. Based on an 
analysis of exposure, safety, and efficacy data, the following factors had no 
clinically relevant effect: age (21−89 years), body weight, gender, positive ATA 
status, albumin levels, tumor burden, region, or ethnicity, renal impairment, mild 
hepatic impairment, level of PD-L1 expression, or ECOG status. No formal PK 
drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted with atezolizumab, and the 
interaction potential is unknown. Further details can be found in the current 
Investigator’s Brochure. 
The development of antitherapeutic antibodies (ATAs) has been observed in 
patients in all dose cohorts and was associated with changes in PK for some 
patients in the lower dose cohorts (0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg) [Investigators's Brochure]. 
Patients dosed at ≥10 mg/kg maintained Cmin values well above the target serum 
concentration of 6 mcg/mL despite the detection of ATAs. Accordingly, the 
development of detectable ATAs does not appear to have a clinically significant 
impact on PK for doses above 10 mg/kg. To date, no relationship between the 
development of measurable ATAs and safety or efficacy has been observed. 
2.2.1.3.2. 
Clinical Safety Summary 
As of May 10, 2016, atezolizumab has been administered (alone or in 
combination with other agents) to approximately 6053 patients with solid tumors 
and hematologic malignancies [Investigators's Brochure]. The first-in-human 
monotherapy study PCD4989g (in patients with locally advanced or metastatic

NCI Protocol #: CITN-14 
Version Date: October 12, 2022

solid tumors or hematologic malignancies) provides the majority of monotherapy 
safety data, with 629 safety-evaluable patients as of the data extraction date. 
Currently, no maximum tolerated dose (MTD), no dose-limiting toxicities 
(DLTs), and no clear dose-related trends in the incidence of AEs have been 
determined. 
Fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and cough were 
commonly reported AEs in single and combination therapy [Investigators's 
Brochure]. AE profiles are similar across tumor types studied, including non–
small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), triple-negative 
breast cancer (TNBC), and urothelial carcinoma, and are consistent with the 
mechanism of action of atezolizumab. The overall immune-mediated AEs 
reported were considered moderate in severity, and the majority of patients were 
able to continue on atezolizumab therapy. 
As of the data extraction date of December 15, 2015, there were 629 safety-
evaluable patients from the first-in-human phase 1a study PCD4989g 
[Investigators's Brochure]. The median age was 61 years. Of the 629 patients, 619 
patients (98.4%) reported at least one AE of any grade or attribution to 
atezolizumab, and 316 patients (50.2%) experienced at least one grade 3 or 4 AE 
of any attribution. A total of 444 patients (70.6%) reported at least one treatment-
related AE, and 86 patients (13.7%) experienced at least one treatment-related 
grade 3 or 4 AE. The most frequently observed AEs of any grade and attribution 
(occurring in ≥10% of treated patients) include fatigue, decreased appetite, 
nausea, pyrexia, constipation, cough, dyspnea, diarrhea, anemia, vomiting, 
asthenia, back pain, headache, arthralgia, pruritus, rash, abdominal pain, 
insomnia, peripheral edema, and dizziness. 
Serious AEs (SAEs) have been reported in 261 patients (41.5%) in study 
PCD4989g [Investigators's Brochure]. Reported SAEs were consistent with the 
underlying disease. Treatment-related SAEs (57 patients [9.1%]) included 
pyrexia, dyspnea, pneumonitis, malaise, fatigue, hypoxia, colitis, and bone pain. 
Pooled single-agent safety data from 1978 patients with UC, NSCLC, and other 
indications (including trial PCD4989g) indicate that the most frequent (>1% of 
patients) serious adverse drug reactions (regardless of grade) include dyspnea 
(3.0%), back pain (1.2%), and abdominal pain (1.1%). A list of AEs considered 
“expected” for atezolizumab is presented in Section 7.1.1.1. 
2.2.1.3.3. 
Immune-Related Adverse Events 
Given the mechanism of action of atezolizumab, events associated with 
inflammation and/or immune-mediated AEs have been closely monitored during 
the atezolizumab clinical program [Investigators's Brochure]. To date, immune-
related adverse events associated with atezolizumab include hepatitis, 
pneumonitis, colitis, pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, 
hyperthyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenic 
syndrome/myasthenia gravis, nephritis, myocarditis, and meningoencephalitis.

Clinical Efficacy Summary 
Patients with multiple tumor types were included in study PCD4989g, with the 
largest cohorts consisting of patients with NSCLC, RCC, and UC [Investigators's 
Brochure]. Objective responses with atezolizumab monotherapy were observed in 
a broad range of malignancies, including NSCLC, RCC, melanoma, UC, 
colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, and 
sarcoma. Both the preliminary and more mature efficacy data available suggest 
that treatment with atezolizumab as a single agent or in combination with other 
therapeutic agents results in antitumor activity across a range of tumor types and 
hematologic malignancies (UC, NSCLC, RCC, TNBC, melanoma, CRC, and 
NHL) and across lines of therapy. Clinical benefit was observed in terms of 
objective responses, durability of responses, and overall survival. Improved 
efficacy of atezolizumab was observed in the unselected patient population, as 
well as in patients with higher PD-L1 expression on TCs or ICs (e.g., NSCLC) or 
on ICs only (e.g., mUC, RCC). 
 Recombinant Glycosylated Human Interleukin-7 (CYT107) 
A relatively nontoxic regimen of weekly IL-7 will substantially increase the total body 
complement of T cells of all phenotypes. The current trial will test whether addition of 
IL-7 to atezolizumab, using an IL-7 regimen known to increase the total body 
complement of T cells, will increase the frequency and depth of clinical responses to 
atezolizumab. 
2.2.2.1 
Mechanism of action 
IL-7 is a homeostatic growth factor for T cells that normally contributes to 
maintaining the normal number of peripheral blood T cells. IL-7 is the T-cell 
equivalent of erythropoietin and thymopoietin with multiple functions that could 
increase the efficacy of atezolizumab. IL-7–mediated signaling can induce 
proliferation in the absence of T-cell receptor signaling [Swainson 2007]. IL-7 signals 
through the IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) heterodimer composed of the common γ-chain 
(CD132) cytokine receptor and a unique IL-7Rα (CD127). During normal conditions, 
IL-7R expression is maintained on resting T cells [Mackall 2011] and endogenous IL-
7 is continuously available in secondary lymphoid organs as a result of stromal cell 
IL-7 production [Takada 2009]. 
2.2.2.2 
Summary of Nonclinical Experience 
Exogenous IL-7 induces expansion of most categories of T cells. In preclinical and 
clinical studies IL-7 has been shown to: 
1. Increase peripheral blood T cells by several fold with little toxicity [Levy 2009; 
Sportes 2010; Perales 2012; Tredan 2015; Sheikh 2016], 
2. Expand all categories of T cells including CD8, CD4 and memory T cells [Sportes 
2010], 
3. Increase the total body complement of T cells including increased size of lymph 
nodes, spleen, liver [Sportes 2008],

13 
 
4. Increase T-cell receptor (TCR) diversity by preferentially stimulating the growth 
of TREC positive, naïve T cells [Sportes 2008]. Continuous signaling by IL-7 
induces antiapoptotic and costimulatory responses that are essential for the 
survival of naïve T cells. 
5. Maintain effector T-cell function, 
6. Increase the ratio of CD8+ T cells to Tregs, as IL-7Rα expression is relatively low 
on FOXP3+ Treg cells compared with nonregulatory T-cell subsets [Liu 2006; 
Seddiki 2006]. 
7. Increase tissue infiltration of T cells into gut mucosa (other tissues have not been 
examined) [Sereti 2012]. 
8. Reverse neutrophil lymphocyte ratios [unpublished data – CITN12-03 
(NCT01881867)] 
9. Augment vaccine-induced cell responses in murine models [Melchionda 2005] 
10. Augment immune-mediated control of both tumors and viruses [Mackall 2011]. 
After either T-cell activation, IL-7 signaling, or both, IL-7Rα is down-regulated on 
terminally differentiated, senescent T cells [Fry 2003], [Park 2004] but becomes 
reexpressed after several days and remains expressed during the later contraction 
phase. IL-7Rα is also selectively expressed on a small minority of effector T cells that 
are destined to enter the central memory T-cell pool, thus implicating IL-7 as a 
modulator of the effector to memory cell transition [Kaech 2003]. 
2.2.2.3 
Summary of Clinical Experience 
The CYT107 dose and regimen have been established in prior clinical trials. More 
than 380 patients have been exposed to CYT107. Weekly CYT107 × 3 or 4 at doses 
of 10 to 20 µg/kg can double the number of peripheral blood T cells (CITN Immune 
Monitoring Lab data). Both naïve and memory T cells are expanded by CYT107 with 
a peak of proliferation at day 7. Repeated doses of CYT107 induce expansion of 
CD4+ and CD8+ T cells subsets. Importantly, there is no significant difference 
between the 10 and 20 mcg/kg dose levels and biological effect on CD4+ and CD8+ 
T-cell number increases [Levy 2012], Figures 1A and 1B]. The increases last for 
weeks to months in some individuals [Levy 2009]. Extrapolating from the increase in 
size of lymph nodes, spleen, and liver with FDG-PET, the total body burden of T 
cells also increased correspondingly [Sportes 2008]. However, the 10 µg/kg dose 
level is tolerated better, with no reported serious unexpected serious adverse reactions 
(SUSARs) reported compared to 4 cases reported at the 20 µg/kg dose. Importantly, 
the 20 µg/kg dose level has been associated with autoimmune adverse events, include 
Henoch-Schonlein purpura, lichen planus and the emergence of neutralizing 
antibodies [CYT107 Investigator's Brochure]. 
Regimens of weekly IL-7 at the 10 µg/kg level demonstrate an acceptable safety 
profile with very few grade 3 or 4 adverse events. More than 380 patients have been 
exposed to CYT107, including 236 patients in 7 phase I/IIa dose escalation studies 
with CYT107 in oncology, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), human 
immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) 
infected patients and 2 phase II studies in patients with HIV. CYT107 has been well 
tolerated [CYT107 Investigator's Brochure]. The most frequent adverse events are:

injection site reactions, lymphadenopathy, pyrexia, rash, and fatigue. A cumulative 
819 administrations of CYT107 triggered 555 injection site reactions AE, i.e., 70% of 
CYT107 administrations led to at least one injection site reaction. The worst grade 
reported was grade 2 in 159 of 819 administrations (19.4%). No grade 3 or 4 injection 
site reactions were reported. 
Among the 555 injection site reactions related to CYT107: 
– 113 (20.3%) were of grade <1 
– 283 (51.0%) were of grade 1 
– 159 (28.7%) were of grade 2 
– No grade 3 or 4 injection site reactions were reported. 
Of note, this scoring was performed with reference to the DAIDS 2.0 scale which is 
more severe than CTCAE scoring. 
One true anaphylactic reaction and 4 acute allergic reactions have been reported, 
strictly in studies with repeated cycles of CYT107. The immunogenicity frequency 
and the occurrence of NADA (neutralizing antibodies) are higher with the exposure to 
multiple cycles of CYT107. 
Two studies analyzed the pharmacokinetics of CYT107 in patients with HIV-1 with 
CD4 T-cell counts of 101-400 cells/µL and plasma HIV RNA <50 copies/mL while 
receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for ≥12 months. Three dose 
levels of CYT107 were tested sequentially: 10, 20 and 30μg/kg. Increasing doses 
induced a dose response increase in peripheral blood T cells. The increases were 
nonlinearity above 20µg/kg/week in the lymphopenic patients and above 
30/µg/kg/week for the non-lymphopenic patients. The nonlinearity was presumed to 
be to the administered IL-7 being cleared by binding to an increased number of T 
cells, i.e., a "Target Mediated Drug Disposition" [CYT107 Investigator's Brochure]. 
Up to June 2013, all preclinical and clinical studies were conducted by Cytheris S.A. 
In September 2013 all CYT107 related assets were transferred to RevImmune, the 
company now responsible for conducting CYT107 development. 
The CITN has one ongoing trial of CYT107 started with Cytheris and continued with 
RevImmune CITN is the IND sponsor. The trial is testing CYT107 in patients with 
metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer after treatment with sipuleucel-T 
(PROVENGE®, Dendreon Corporation), a prostatic acid phosphatase vaccine. The 
goal is to determine whether treatment with CYT107 can substantially increase and 
prolong immune responses to prostatic acid phosphatase and thereby eventually 
provide a novel, nontoxic regimen to prolong the survival of patients with metastatic 
castration-resistant prostate cancer [CITN12-03 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: 
NCT01881867)]. 
After therapy with standard sipuleucel-T, patients are randomly assigned to 
observation or administration of CYT107 10 μg/kg on days 0, 7, 14, and 21. The 
randomized trial has accrued 54 of 70 patients with half in the CYT107 arm. Results

to date have confirmed that CYT107 (1) increases peripheral blood CD8+ and CD4+ 
T cells, and (2) reverses the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. Of note, a high neutrophil 
to lymphocyte ratio is a poor prognostic sign in most, if not all, clinical cancer 
circumstances in which it’s been assessed [Templeton 2014] including bladder cancer 
[Bhindi 2016]. No DLT have been observed.

Other Agent(s): N/A 
2.4 
Rationale 
Very few preclinical studies have combined IL-7 with PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 checkpoint blockade. 
One murine study showed the therapeutic efficacy of concomitant blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-
1 relies on interdependence of IL-7 and IFN-γ signaling in T cells, predicting the exogenous IL-7 
will boost the therapeutic efficacy [Shi 2016]. Another study of murine sepsis showed that IL-7 
reverses immune suppression by increasing lymphocyte proliferation, expression of lymphocyte 
adhesion molecules, interferon-gamma production, and CD28 expression on splenic CD8+ T 
cells. Combined treatment with IL-7 and anti-PD-1 produced additive effects on CD28 
expression, lymphocyte proliferation, and splenic secretion of interferon-gamma [Shindo 2015]. 
Of note, CYT107 therapy is currently being tested in human sepsis [ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: 
NCT02640807]. In a recent Science paper [Pauken 2016] using the mouse model of chronic 
lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection explored the combined effect of IL-7 and 
anti-PD-L1 on the development and functionality of exhausted T cells. They confirmed that 
treatment with IL-7 starting in the effector phase can prevent development of T-cell exhaustion. 
By 8 to 11 weeks after treatment, however, the anti-PD-L1 reinvigoration of T cells was lost, and 
the quantity, proliferation, effector function, and inhibitory receptor expression of LCMV-
specific CD8 T cells in the anti-PD-L1–treated mice were comparable to those in control-treated 
mice. Interestingly at this stage the combined treatment with IL-7 and anti-PD-L1, resulted in 
more antigen-specific CD8 T cells and improved coproduction of interferon-γ and tumor necrosis 
factor–α. 
Atezolizumab induces remarkable responses in a subset of patients, yet the percentage of 
complete responses in the “all comers” population was only 5.5% and the median OS for all 
patients was only 7.9 months [Package Insert 2017]. Various mechanisms of immune escape, 
including (1) the lack of strong, tumor-specific antigens or epitopes recognized by T cells, 
(2) impaired or suppressed antigen presentation machinery including downregulation of major 
histocompatibility complex on cancer cells, (3) impaired or suppressed cytotoxic T-cell 
activation, (4) poor infiltration of T cells into the tumor microenvironment, and (5) increased 
immunosuppressive cytokines and cells in the tumor microenvironment prevent a large 
proportion of cancer patients from driving clinical benefit from anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapies [Kim 
2016]. Thus, additional therapies to increase the frequency and depth of responses to 
atezolizumab are needed. 
Atezolizumab has induced phenomenal lifesaving responses in some patients with advanced 
urothelial carcinoma, presenting an incredible foundation for building more effective regimens. 
The current trial will determine whether, by increasing the total body complement of T cells and 
expanding the T-cell repertoire, the addition of CYT107 to atezolizumab will improve upon the 
clinical benefit provided by atezolizumab alone.

Integrated Correlative Studies Background 
 Evaluation of peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell counts – Integrated Laboratory 
Correlative Study #1 
As described above, CYT107 has been shown to double the number of peripheral blood 
lymphocytes including T cells. Thus, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell numbers are important 
biomarkers for the effect of CYT107 on the peripheral T-cell populations. To assess the 
overall pharmacodynamic effect of atezolizumab plus CYT107 and to determine whether 
CYT107 in combination with atezolizumab results in the same, or different level, of 
expansion of peripheral lymphocytes, T-cell counts (both CD4+ and CD8+) will be 
evaluated in CLIA certified laboratories locally at each site. CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell 
counts will be evaluated at baseline, during treatment, and at end of therapy. 
Hypothesis: The combination of atezolizumab with CYT107 will result in similar levels 
of peripheral blood T-cell expansion as with CYT107 alone. 
 
 Slide-Based Immune Phenotype Panel -- Multispectral IHC – Integrated Laboratory 
Correlative Study #2 
Because tumor-infiltrating immune cells are associated with clinical outcomes, infiltrates 
from pre-treatment tumor tissue and from biopsies taken during treatment will be 
assessed by IHC to determine extent and the nature of T-cell infiltration and of the 
overall immune milieu of the tumor microenvironment (TME). 
Paired baseline and post-baseline tumor biopsies will be evaluated using quantitative 
multicolor immunohistochemistry (IHC) with Perkin-Elmer’s Vectra IHC platform. This 
platform employs spectral deconvolution imaging to separate optical signals from each 
antibody together with state-of–the-art image analysis capabilities to facilitate robust 
quantitative slide-based immunophenotyping. Using the Vectra multispectral imaging 
platform (PerkinElmer), adjacent tumor sections will be stained and imaged with a series 
of 5-6 antibodies per section simultaneously to investigate the spatial relationship 
between key immunomodulatory cell types and molecules. The antibodies will include, 
but are not limited to, the following: pancytokeratin (AE1/AE3), CD8, CD4, PD-1, PD-
L1, CD68, CD163, FOXP3, arginase, and pan-MHC class I and class II. Data will be 
generated in the form of total positive cells, positive cells/mm2, percentage positive cells 
in a population, ratios of cells and molecules of interest (e.g., PD-L1:CD8 or 
FOXP3+CD4+:CD8). Additionally, tumors may also be assayed by IHC for a variety of 
other markers including CD80, IFN-gamma CD3, CD5, TIA-1, CD20, CD11b, CD137, 
CD45RO, CD301CD56 and CD16 (natural killer [NK] and NK T cells), CD79a (B cells), 
GITR, TIM-3, FOXP3, LAG3. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of tumor-infiltrating 
lymphocyte (TIL) distribution (i.e., stromal, and interface/invasive margin) will be 
performed. Anti-PD-L1 immunohistochemical staining will be performed at HistoGeneX 
(Naperville, IL) with the SP142 clone, in addition to the multispectral IHC (msIHC) to 
serve as both an independent test and control for the reproducibility of the msIHC assay. 
The study is intended to evaluate for changes in the immune profile of the tumor 
microenvironment. If sufficient archival tumor tissue collected before therapy is not

available, a baseline biopsy will be obtained before enrolling in the study as part of this 
protocol. 
IHC studies will be performed under the direction of Dr. 
 at the Fred 
Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Fred Hutch) Experimental Histopathology 
Laboratory, Seattle, WA, or other agreed upon investigator. 
Hypothesis: The combination of atezolizumab with CYT107 will alter the TME (tumor 
microenvironment) towards a pro inflammatory phenotype. 
 
 Assessment of tumor biopsy by gene expression analysis -- Interferon γ (INFγ) Gene 
Expression Signature - NanoString® nCounter® Human Immunology V2 Panel and the 
nCounter® PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel – Integrated Laboratory Correlative 
Study #3 
To identify potential signatures correlating with tumor T-cell infiltration patterns and 
clinical response Tumor tissue will be tested for gene expression using NanoString® 
technology on unstained tissue formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) slide material. 
Specifically, slides will be analyzed using both a 770-gene panel (nCounter® PanCancer 
Immune Profiling Panel) which contains markers for 24 different immune cell types and 
populations, 30 common cancer antigens and genes that representing immune responses 
including checkpoint blockade genes as well as the NanoString® nCounter® Human 
Immunology V2 Panel which contain genes associated with the INFγ Gene Expression 
Signature. These gene expression profiles may provide an additional detailed phenotype 
to guide correlative investigation. 
NanoString®-based gene expression analysis, specifically for the IFN γ Signature, will be 
used to test the hypothesis that the investigational study treatment regimen, CYT107 plus 
atezolizumab, will promote a proinflammatory antitumor immune response. The IFNγ 
Signature, which is comprised of IDO1, CXCL10, CXCL9, HLA-DRA, STAT1 and 
IFNγ, has previously been shown to correlate with anti-PD1 response and nonresponse. 
RNA will be extracted from all paraffin-embedded tumor samples and analyzed using the 
NanoString® nCounter Immunology V2 Profiling Pane, which includes the 
aforementioned genes of the IFNγ Signature, as well as over 700 other genes associated 
with inflammation. The samples used will be taken from tissue sections adjacent to those 
stained for multispectral IHC to facilitate comparison between these analysis sets. 
Samples will consist of matched pre- and post-treatment FFPE biopsies. 
These analyses will be performed in coordination with NanoString® Technologies in 
Seattle, WA, and analyzed using qualified analytic tools at the immunopathology lab of 
the Fred Hutch. 
Hypotheses: The combination of Atezolizumab with CYT107 will alter the TME towards 
a pro inflammatory GEP phenotype, and distinct gene expression patterns will be 
identified that may correlate with clinical outcomes.

 T-Cell Receptor Repertoire Analysis -- TCR sequencing – Integrated Laboratory 
Correlative Study #4 
We will perform TCR sequencing where pretreatment and post-treatment biopsies are 
available. TCR repertoire analysis will be performed on RNA extracted from FFPE 
biopsies, and T cells isolated from PBMCs from the research blood collections 
throughout study participation. TCR repertoire analysis has been standardized and 
commercialized by Adaptive Biosciences. The TCR sequences will also specifically be 
queried for sequences already known to encode for TCRs reactive to shared antigens 
often expressed in urothelial transitional cell carcinoma (e.g., MAGE-A3, NY-ESO-1, 
LAGE-1, and PRAME). 
Samples will be analyzed at Adaptive Bioscience in Seattle, WA, or other agreed upon 
vendor or collaborator. 
Hypothesis: The combination of Atezolizumab with CYT107 will result in emergence 
and/or increased prevalence of specific TCR sequences reflecting the clonal expansion of 
antitumor T cells, and expansion of those specific T-cell clones in TILs (exhibited by 
higher TCR clonality) will be associated with improved response to therapy. 
 
 Tumor-Associated Neo-antigen discovery -- Whole Exome Sequencing and RNAseq and 
Antigen Prediction – Integrated Laboratory Correlative Study #5 
In order to investigate the role of T-cell–mediated immunity directed towards tumor-
specific mutant antigens, genomic sequencing and RNAseq of tumor cells from baseline 
tumor biopsy relative to non-tumor cells from whole blood (PBMC) will be performed to: 
i) identify tumor-associated neoantigens; and ii) identify the genomic variances that may 
contribute to response or disease progression and provide an understanding of molecular 
abnormalities. 
DNA and RNA will be extracted from baseline or archival FFPE tumor biopsies will be 
sequenced to identify overexpressed known “shared” tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) 
and nonsynonymous expressed mutations using available and standard-of-practice 
technologies. For example, a computational approach (BIMAS and SYFPEITHI 
algorithms) can be utilized to analyze and prioritize these mutation-derived “virtual” 
antigens in terms of their likelihood to bind to/be presented by MHC I alleles (HLA-A2, 
A3, A24). Potential antigens can be encoded in tandem minigene constructs with 
intervening P2A viral sequences to allow for equimolar expression of multiple “long” 
(~27 amino acids) peptides centered on the putative antigenic mutational sites. These 
neoantigenic libraries will be cloned into an appropriate expression vectors to allow for in 
vitro- transcription of neoantigen-encoding mRNA for use in ELISPOT assays to detect 
neoantigen immune responses. RNAseq will also identify whether common “shared” 
antigens are also expressed, including MAGE-A3, NY-ESO-1, LAGE-1, and PRAME. 
Common epitopes sequences from these shared antigens will also be transduced as above. 
Quantitation of mutation burden may also be important for urothelial carcinoma, where

immunogenicity and/or responses to PD-1/PD-L1 axis-directed therapies may be 
associated with a high mutation burden. 
These analyses will be performed using qualified analytes and analytic tools at the 
immunopathology lab at the Fred Hutch or at a vendor, to be determined. 
Hypothesis: Clinical outcomes will correlate with neoantigen and mutational burden. 
 
 Antitumor Immune T-cell Responses – ELISPOT – Integrated Laboratory Correlative 
Study #6 
If there are positive clinical responses, antigen-specific T-cell responses may be assessed 
by IFNγ enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay to provide information regarding 
the effect of the atezolizumab and CYT107 regimen on antigen-specific T-cell–functional 
antitumor responses. The ability of the investigational treatment to induce a tumor 
antigen-specific immune response will be assessed using ex vivo incubation of PBMC-
derived T cells with autologous PBMC either pulsed with peptide antigens or 
recombinant proteins representing known ongoing and nascent antitumor responses 
(PRAME, NY-ESO-1, MAGE-A3 and/or p53), or neoantigens described above. Memory 
viral responses (influenza A, CEF) will also be assessed as controls. We will quantitate 
the strength of the antigen-specific T-cell responses and compare baseline and post-
baseline T-cell responses for each putative antigen. The absolute change in ELISPOT 
responses for antigens will be compared between the SFC/million PBMC at baseline 
(before treatment initiation) and at designated time points post-treatment. 
Assays will be performed in the CITN Immune Monitory Laboratory (CIML) at the Fred 
Hutch under the direction of Dr. 
, or an agreed upon vendor or collaborator. 
Hypothesis: The combination of atezolizumab with CYT107 will result in increased T-
cell responses to known and/or neoantigens. 
 
2.6 
Exploratory/Ancillary Correlative Studies 
 Assessment of PD-L1 expression at Baseline and Post-treatment -- 
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) – Exploratory Laboratory Correlative Study #1 
PD-L1 has been identified as an important correlative biomarker for clinical response to 
anti-PD-L1 and anti-PD-1 therapies. In particular, given that the function of atezolizumab 
is to block binding of PD-1 to PD-L1, expression of PD-L1 will be quantitated by IHC in 
baseline formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor specimens, and from biopsies obtained 
after treatment. This is an important part of the correlative studies to explore whether this 
marker which correlates with response in other circumstances also correlates with 
response in this protocol population. For baseline samples, formalin-fixed, paraffin-
embedded tissue block(s) from tumor obtained before treatment will be obtained by the 
clinical site either from archival samples obtained from the relevant pathology 
laboratories where they were processed and stored, or from baseline biopsy as part of this

protocol (core, punch, or excisional). Post-treatment, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded 
tumor specimens will be obtained from biopsy at week 11 (core, punch, or excisional) as 
part of this protocol. 
PD-L1 expression will be tested by IHC at HistoGeneX (Naperville, IL)with the PD-L1 
SP142 clone assay, or at other agreed upon vendor. 
Hypothesis: PD-L1 expression at baseline will correlate with clinical responses to 
atezolizumab and atezolizumab in combination with CYT107. In addition, atezolizumab 
administration may alter PD-L1 expression to an unknown extent. 
 
 Evaluation of the effect of atezolizumab with and without CYT107 on circulating 
Lymphocyte and Monocyte numbers and Phenotype – Exploratory Laboratory 
Correlative Study #2 
We will assess the effects of the atezolizumab with and without CYT107 on the 
frequency and phenotypic character of PBMC subsets including dendritic cells (DCs), 
monocyte populations, T cells, NK cells, and B cells. The effect on these immune cell 
subtypes of checkpoint inhibitors, and other immune modulators is being investigated in 
other CITN trials and may provide important correlative information on the success or 
failure of combination immunotherapy. 
A 14-color whole blood immunophenotyping assay will quantify in one panel the 
absolute number and proportion of T cells (both CD8+ and CD4+), NK cells 
(CD56+CD3-), NKT cells (CD56+CD3+), B cells (CD19+/CD20+), monocytes 
(CD16+), neutrophils (CD15+), as well as both myeloid DCs (CD45+HLA-
DR+CD11c+CD123-) and plasmacytoid DCs (CD45+HLA-DR+CD11c-CD123+). In 
addition, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) will be measured using antibodies to 
HLA-DR, CD11b, and CD33 in this same multiparameter flow cytometric assay. 
Multiparameter flow cytometry on whole blood with a 12-color panel may also be used in 
parallel to further define the phenotype of T cells and to identify activated T cells, T-cell 
subsets (including regulatory T cells). This validated panel includes the markers CD45, 
CD3, CD4, CD8, CD45RA, CD197 (CCR7), CD28, CD127, CD25, HLA-DR, CD279 
(PD-1), CD278. 
Assays will be performed under the direction of Dr. 
 in the CIML at the Fred 
Hutch. 
Hypothesis: The combination of atezolizumab with CYT107 will perturb circulating 
lymphocyte and monocyte numbers and phenotypes to a yet unknown extent. 
 
 Multiplex Cytokines -- Multiplex ELISA – Exploratory Laboratory Correlative Study #3 
Perturbations in cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors have been associated with 
cancers and changes in plasma cytokine concentrations of proinflammatory and 
immunosuppressive cytokines may correlate with clinical responses to therapy.

and growth factors to longitudinal measurements during therapy may improve our 
understanding of the immunologic effects of the combination of atezolizumab plus 
CYT107 on cancer. Furthermore, these assays will be used to explore whether reactive 
changes in cytokine levels correlates with toxicity and/or efficacy of atezolizumab and 
CYT107. Longitudinally collected plasma samples will be evaluated using commercial 
multiplex immunoassays that are quantified by immunochemiluminescence detection or 
other appropriate technology. 
Assays will be performed at the Fred Hutch Shared Resources, or at other agreed upon 
vendor. 
Hypothesis: The combination of atezolizumab with CYT107 will perturb cytokines, 
chemokines, and growth factors to a yet unknown extent. 
 
 Kynurenine and tryptophan (Kyn/Trp) ratios and plasma Arginine levels – Exploratory 
Laboratory Correlative Study #4 
Over expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is known to result in increases in 
the Kyn/Trp ratio in blood and within some tumor microenvironments. Increases in 
Kyn/Trp ratios result in the subsequent suppression of T-cell responses and is a major 
mechanism of immune control. IDO is expressed by some tumors, but probably more 
importantly, it is expressed by lymphocytes as a normal mechanism and important 
mechanism to dampen immune responses. Expression of IDO (with subsequent increased 
Kyn/Trp ratio) may be one likely mechanism of checkpoint blockade and other 
immunotherapy failures. Thus, we will measure Kyn/Trp ratios in plasma taken at 
baseline, during treatment, and at end of treatment in this protocol to analyze, in patients 
who have failed clinical response to Atezolizumab plus IL-7 treatment, failure may be 
associated with increased Kyn/Trp levels. 
In addition, another important mechanism of immune control and suppression is through 
the changing concentrations of arginine insofar as decreased levels of arginine in plasma 
(ie arginine depletion) is associated with decreases in CD4 and CD8 T-cell proliferation 
and Th1 functions. Arginine depletion can occur by the release by MDSCs of arginase 
which converts L-arginine to ornithine. This may be another mechanism of tumor evasion 
as myeloid suppressor cells with high arginase activity are found in tumors. Thus, we will 
also measure arginine levels in the same plasma samples taken at baseline, during 
treatment, and at end of treatment in this protocol to analyze, in patients who have failed 
clinical response to Atezolizumab plus IL-7 treatment, whether failure may be associated 
with increased arginine levels in plasma. 
All assays will be performed at an agreed upon collaborator or vendor to be determined. . 
Hypothesis: Failure to respond to atezolizumab plus CYT107 treatment may be 
associated with increased Kyn/Trp ratios and/or increased plasma arginine levels in some 
patients.

 Microbiome Analyses – Exploratory Laboratory Correlative Study #5 
Recent reports in preclinical mouse tumor models suggest that the gut microbiome has an 
effect on response to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy, and there is growing evidence 
that the intestinal microbiome may have major influences on antitumor immune 
responses. The microbiota has long been known to have profound effects on innate and 
adaptive immunity. However, the impact and importance of the gut microbiome in human 
cancer patients’ responses to immunotherapy has not yet been well-characterized and will 
be important to determine. To begin to understand the role of the microbiome in 
responses to immunotherapy in this protocol, we will collect microbiome samples from 
patients at baseline and perform taxonomic profiling via 16 S rRNA gene sequencing and 
metagenomic whole-genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing. Fecal samples will be collected 
and stored using standard, at home stool-collection procedures, and we will assess the 
landscape of the gut microbiome. Sequencing data will be analyzed and compared to 
clinical responses to determine whether response or nonresponse to atezolizumab plus 
CYT107 can be correlated with specific microbiota. 
Assays will be performed in collaboration with Dr. 
 at Fred Hutch or 
other agreed upon collaborator. 
Hypothesis: The gut microbiome profile will affect the clinical response to the 
combination of atezolizumab with CYT107 to a yet unknown extent. 
 
2.7 
Special Studies 
 Assessment of Immunogenicity and Pharmacokinetics  
The known and predicted activities of these two immunotherapeutic agents in enhancing 
immune responses may, in combination, influence pharmacokinetics and 
immunogenicity. In particular CYT107 is pharmacologically targeting lymphocytes and 
subject to a PK target mediated clearance (like many other blood growth factors). This is 
the case for G-CSF and other factors. We have validated methods to measure CYT107 
blood samples for PK analysis as well as to detect and measure the presence of binding 
and neutralizing antibodies. We will thus measure CYT107 blood levels before the first 
and fourth administrations of CYT107, and at specified intervals after administration of 
CYT107. This would enable detection of any potential significant interference of the 
concomitant immunotherapies on CYT107 PK. Similarly, we will measure anti-CYT107 
binding antibodies before any CYT107 administration and after the last CYT107 
administration. Any subject presenting with binding antibodies will be further tested for 
the presence of anti-CYT107 neutralizing antibodies. While the number of patients will 
be too small to draw definitive conclusions, this might lead to a potential interference in 
the combination therapy deserving a further exploration.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 
4.1 
Investigator and Research Associate Registration with CTEP 
 CTEP Registration Procedures 
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and National Cancer Institute (NCI) 
policy require all investigators participating in any NCI-sponsored clinical trial to register 
and to renew their registration annually. To register, all individuals must obtain a Cancer 
Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) Identity and Access Management (IAM) account 
(https://ctepcore.nci.nih.gov/iam). In addition, persons with a registration type of 
Investigator (IVR), Non-Physician Investigator (NPIVR), or Associate Plus (AP) must 
complete their annual registration using CTEP’s web-based Registration and Credential 
Repository (RCR) (https://ctepcore.nci.nih.gov/rcr).  
RCR utilizes five person registration types. 
• IVR — MD, DO, or international equivalent; 
• NPIVR — advanced practice providers (e.g., NP or PA) or graduate level researchers 
(e.g., PhD); 
• AP — clinical site staff (e.g., RN or CRA) with data entry access to CTSU 
applications such as the Roster Update Management System [RUMS], OPEN, Rave, 
acting as a primary site contact, or with consenting privileges; 
• Associate (A) — other clinical site staff involved in the conduct of NCI-sponsored 
trials; and 
• Associate Basic (AB) — individuals (e.g., pharmaceutical company employees) with

assignments requiring CI sign-off. Any individual at the enrolling site on a participating 
roster may initiate the site DTL. Once the DTL is submitted for CI approval, only the 
designated DTL Administrators or the CI may update the DTL. Instructions on 
completing the DTL are available in the Help Topics button in the DTL application and 
include a Master Task List, which describes DTL task assignments, CI signature, and 
CTEP registration requirements. 
 
4.4 
Patient Enrollment 
 OPEN 
The Oncology Patient Enrollment Network (OPEN) is a web-based registration system 
available to users on a 24/7 basis. OPEN is integrated with CTSU regulatory and roster 
data and with the LPOs registration/randomization systems or the Theradex Interactive 
Web Response System (IWRS) for retrieval of patient registration/randomization 
assignment. OPEN will populate the patient enrollment data in NCI’s clinical data 
management system, Medidata Rave.  
Requirements for OPEN access:   
• A valid CTEP-IAM account; 
• To perform enrollments or request slot reservations: Must be on an LPO roster, 
ETCTN corresponding roster, or participating organization roster with the role of 
Registrar. Registrars must hold a minimum of an Associate Plus (AP) registration 
type; 
• If a Delegation of Tasks Log (DTL) is required for the study, the registrars must hold 
the OPEN Registrar task on the DTL for the site; and 
• Have an approved site registration for the protocol prior to patient enrollment. 
 
To assign an Investigator (IVR) or Non-Physician Investigator (NPIVR) as the treating, 
crediting, consenting, drug shipment (IVR only), or receiving investigator for a patient 
transfer in OPEN, the IVR or NPIVR must list the IRB number used on the site’s IRB 
approval on their Form FDA 1572 in RCR. If a DTL is required for the study, the IVR or 
NPIVR must be assigned the appropriate OPEN-related tasks on the DTL. 
Before accessing OPEN, site staff should verify the following: 
• 
Patient has met all eligibility criteria within the protocol stated timeframes; and 
• 
All patients have signed an appropriate consent form and Health Insurance Portability 
and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization form (if applicable). 
Note: The OPEN system will provide the site with a printable confirmation of registration 
and treatment information. Please print this confirmation for your records. 
Access OPEN at https://open.ctsu.org or from the OPEN link on the CTSU member’s 
website. Further instructional information is on the OPEN section of the CTSU website at

CTSU Help Desk at 1-888-823-5923 or ctsucontact@westat.com. 
Patient enrollment for this study will be facilitated using the Slot Reservation System in 
conjunction with the registration system in OPEN. Prior to discussing protocol entry with 
the patient, all site staff must use the CTSU OPEN Slot Reservation System to ensure that 
a slot on the protocol is available to the patient. Once a slot reservation confirmation is 
obtained, site staff may then proceed to enroll the patient to this study.  
 
4.5 
General Guidelines 
After registration, patients should begin protocol treatment within 5 business days. Issues that 
would cause treatment delays should be discussed with the PI. If a patient does not receive 
protocol therapy after registration, the patient’s registration on the study may be canceled. The 
Clinical Research Site (CRS) must notify the CITN Coordinating Center of cancellations as soon 
as possible. 
Except in very unusual circumstances, each participating institution will order DCTD-supplied 
agents directly from CTEP. 
5. 
TREATMENT PLAN 
This is a phase II trial of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) plus recombinant human IL-7 (CYT107) 
in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. The trial follows a 
randomized, controlled trial design, with an initial ‘Safety Run-In’ phase designed to evaluate 
the acute safety profile of the investigational treatment combination. 
During the Safety Run-In phase, 6 patients will be assigned to the experimental arm 
(atezolizumab + CYT107) with staggered enrollment. This will be accomplished with an initial 3 
patient enrollment. All adverse events will be assessed by the Toxicity Evaluation Committee. If 
0-1 patient experiences a protocol-defined DLT (refer to Section 5.2) after completion of the 4-
week DLT window, an additional 3 patients will be enrolled. Once all 6 patients have completed 
the 4-week DLT window, the Toxicity Evaluation Committee will again assess all adverse 
events. If, at any time, 2 or more patients experience a protocol-defined DLT, further enrollment 
into the trial will be suspended. 
If the treatment combination of the experimental arm demonstrates an acceptable safety profile 
in the Safety Run-In (one or fewer patient experiences a protocol-defined DLT), randomized 
enrollment into the trial will begin. 
Patients will be randomly assigned to either the control arm (atezolizumab monotherapy) or 
experimental arm (atezolizumab + CYT107) of the trial.  
The first 6 subjects enrolled in the run-in phase of the study will have PK sampling done at 
baseline (prior to CYT107 administration), and at week 4 prior to CYT107 administration and at 
2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours after the fourth CYT107 administration. 
Anti-drug antibody testing (ADA testing) will be done on all subjects who receive CYT107. 
Testing will be done at baseline (prior to CYT107 administration) and at week 8, (1 month after

For anaphylaxis precautions, see the management guidelines below. Atezolizumab 
infusions will be administered per the instructions outlined in the Table below. 
First Infusion 
Subsequent Infusions 
• 
No premedication is permitted prior to the 
atezolizumab infusion. 
• 
Vital signs (pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood 
pressure, and temperature) should be measured 
within 60 minutes prior to the infusion. 
• 
Atezolizumab should be infused over 60 (±15) 
minutes. 
• 
If clinically indicated, vital signs should be 
measured every 15 (±5) minutes during the 
infusion and at 30 (±10) minutes after the 
infusion. 
• 
Patients should be informed about the 
possibility of delayed post-infusion symptoms 
and instructed to contact their study physician if 
they develop such symptoms. 
• 
If the patient experienced an infusion−related 
reaction with any previous infusion, 
premedication with antihistamines, 
antipyretics, and/or analgesics may be 
administered for subsequent doses at the 
discretion of the investigator. 
• 
Vital signs should be measured within 
60 minutes prior to the infusion. 
• 
Atezolizumab should be infused over 
30 (±10) minutes if the previous infusion was 
tolerated without an infusion-related reaction, 
or 60 (±15) minutes if the patient experienced 
an infusion-related reaction with the previous 
infusion. 
• 
If the patient experienced an infusion−related 
reaction with the previous infusion or if 
clinically indicated, vital signs should be 
measured during the infusion and at 
30 (± 10) minutes after the infusion. 
 
For anaphylaxis precautions, use the following procedure: 
 
Equipment Needed 
• 
Monitoring devices: ECG monitor, blood pressure monitor, oxygen saturation 
monitor, and thermometer 
• 
Oxygen 
• 
Epinephrine for subcutaneous, IV, intramuscular, and/or endotracheal use in 
accordance with standard practice 
• 
Antihistamines 
• 
Corticosteroids 
• 
Intravenous infusion solutions, tubing, catheters, and tape 
Procedures 
In the event of a suspected anaphylactic reaction during atezolizumab infusion, the 
following procedures should be performed: 
• 
Stop the study drug infusion. 
• 
Call for additional medical assistance. 
• 
Maintain an adequate airway. 
• 
Ensure that appropriate monitoring is in place, with continuous ECG and pulse 
oximetry monitoring, if possible.

• 
Administer antihistamines, epinephrine, or other medications as required by patient 
status and directed by the physician in charge. 
• 
Continue to observe the patient and document observation. 
All patients randomly assigned to the experimental treatment arm in Part 2 will also 
receive CYT107 in addition to atezolizumab. 
 Recombinant Human IL-7 (CYT107) 
Patients enrolled in the Safety Run-in phase and patients randomly assigned to the 
experimental arm of the trial will receive recombinant human IL-7 (CYT107). The 
patients will receive 10 mcg/kg of IL-7 (CYT107) IM on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of Cycle 1 
only. The CYT107 dose must be administered before atezolizumab on Day 8 of Cycle 1.  
For patient with a Body Mass Index (BMI) >30, an adjusted body weight will be used to 
calculate the final dose the patient will receive. Please refer to Appendix D for details on 
the adjusted body weight calculation. 
Patients receiving CYT107 will have their vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood 
pressure, and temperature) determined within 60 minutes before the first CYT107 
injection on day 1, and 2 hours (±15 minutes) after the injection. 
On day 8, vital signs will be monitored as described above (Section 5.1.1) following the 
guidelines for the first atezolizumab infusion. 
On days 15 and 22, vital signs will be determined within 60 minutes before and within 30 
minutes after the injection.  
Patients will be informed about the possibility of the development of an allergic reaction 
to CYT107 (hives, bronchospasm, rash, etc.) and instructed to contact their study 
physician if they develop such symptoms. 
 Other Procedures: Biopsy (core needle, punch or excisional) 
The rationale for the biopsy/tissue collection is to investigate changes in the tumor 
microenvironment that may correlate with response or provide information on potential 
actionable causes for lack of benefit.  
A pre-treatment biopsy/tissue collection will be obtained before the first dose of study 
treatment (atezolizumab or CYT107) assuming this can be carried out safely. 
Note: If an archival tumor sample (at least 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 cm) obtained within 2 years 
from screening visit is available, the pre-treatment biopsy is not required.  
A post-treatment tumor biopsy/tissue collection will be obtained if deemed relatively safe 
and technically feasible (core biopsy, punch biopsy or excisional biopsy). The tumor 
biopsy/tissue collection will be obtained prior to dosing on Cycle 4, Day 1or at the end of 
treatment visit, whichever occurs first.

NCI Protocol #: CITN-14 
Version Date: October 12, 2022 
 
37 
 
The biopsies will be done according to clinical site Standard Operating Procedures 
(SOPs). 
 Other procedures:  Microbiome Sample Collection 
Pre-treatment and post-treatment microbiome samples will be collected by patients using 
standard, at home stool-collection procedures using standardized fecal swab/storage 
devices. The samples will be stored frozen at home by patient and returned to the clinical 
research site at their next study visit.    
Patients will be provided with fecal swab/storage devices and instructions (refer to 
Appendix E) at the screening visit and at the Cycle 3, Day 1 visit.  
5.2 
Safety Run-in: Definition of Dose-Limiting Toxicity 
Dose-limiting toxicity is defined as any adverse event (AE) occurring within the first 28 days 
(i.e., from Week 1 Day 1 through Week 4 Day 7), that is considered to be at least possibly 
related to the protocol treatment (atezolizumab, CYT107 or both), and that meets at least one of 
the non-hematologic or hematologic criteria below: 
 Hematologic toxicity 
The standard NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.5.0 
criteria will be replaced by these criteria: 
 
• 
Any Grade 4 event, including laboratory electrolyte abnormalities, that is not easily 
reversed without sequelae 
• 
Grade 4 neutropenia (Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) <0.5 × 109/L) 
• 
Grade 3 febrile neutropenia (ANC <1.0 × 109/L with a fever ≥38.3ºC) 
• 
Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (<25.0 × 109/L) lasting >4 days or that requires platelet 
transfusion 
• 
Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia (<50.0–25.0 × 109/L) associated with Grade ≥3 bleeding 
• 
Grade 2 concurrent AST or ALT >3xULN and total bilirubin > 2xULN without 
evidence of cholestasis  
• 
Any toxicity resulting in death (i.e., Grade 5) 
Note: Peripheral lymphocytopenia after the first CYT107 injection is not a sign of 
toxicity; it reflects the lymphocytes “homing effect” of rhIL-7. Lymphocyte counts 
usually come back to baseline 5 to 7 days after the first injection. 
 Non-hematologic toxicity 
Any Grade ≥3 non-hematologic toxicity (CTCAE v5.0), except for the following, which 
will not constitute DLTs: 
• 
Grade ≥3 nausea or vomiting lasting ≤72 hours with the use of adequate/maximal 
medical intervention and/or prophylaxis 
 
 
 
Use of this document is governed by the terms of use on the first page of this document 

NCI Protocol #: CITN-14 
Version Date: October 12, 2022 
 
38 
 
• 
Grade 3 diarrhea lasting ≤72 hours with the use of adequate/maximal medical 
intervention and/or prophylaxis 
• 
Grade 3 fatigue lasting ≤7 days 
• 
Grade 3 injection site reaction (unless operative intervention is required) 
• 
Grade 3 hyperglycemia lasting ≤72 hours with standard antidiabetic therapy 
• 
Grade 3 increases in liver transaminases (>5.0–20.0 × ULN) in patient with liver 
metastases 
• 
Clinical laboratory abnormalities that are reversible to ≤Grade 1 or baseline status 
within 72 hours with outpatient care and/or monitoring, or that are considered not 
clinically significant by the treating physician 
Management and dose modifications associated with the above AEs are outlined in 
Section 6. 
The AEs will be assessed by the Toxicity Evaluation Committee, which includes the 
PI(s), study sponsor(s), CTEP and the CITN Central Operating and Statistical Center 
(COSC).  
The patients must complete the full 4-week DLT window to be considered evaluable for 
DLTs. Patients who discontinue from the study before completion of the full 4-week 
DLT window for reasons other than the occurrence of a DLT (e.g., withdrawal of 
consent, rapid tumor progression, death due to rapid tumor progression, AE that does not 
meet DLT criteria) will not be considered evaluable for DLTs and will be replaced. 
All randomly assigned patients will be monitored for occurrence of DLT. Monitoring of 
all safety and toxicity data is done by the PI, the study Sponsor(s) and the CITN COSC 
on a real-time basis as data are entered into Medidata Rave using the Web Reporting 
Module. All participating sites must notify the PI and CITN COSC when a DLT has 
occurred. 
A delay due to toxicity in receiving the second cycle of therapy of >14 days will be 
considered a DLT in subjects enrolled in the safety run-in phase of the study. This does 
not apply to subsequent subjects enrolled in the randomized component of the study. 
5.3 
General Concomitant Medication and Supportive Care Guidelines 
Because there is a potential for interaction of Atezolizumab and CYT107 with other 
concomitantly administered drugs, the case report form must capture the concurrent use of all 
other drugs, over-the-counter medications, or alternative therapies. The PI should be alerted if 
the patient is taking any agent known to affect or with the potential for drug interactions. The 
study team should check a frequently updated medical reference for a list of drugs to avoid or 
minimize use of.  
Atezolizumab General Concomitant Medication Guidelines 
Concomitant therapy includes any prescription medications or over-the-counter 
preparations used by a patient between the 7 days preceding the baseline evaluation and

the treatment discontinuation visit. 
Patients who experience infusion-associated symptoms may be treated symptomatically 
with acetaminophen, ibuprofen, diphenhydramine, and/or cimetidine or another H2 
receptor antagonist, as per standard practice (for sites outside the United States, 
equivalent medications may be substituted per local practice). Serious infusion-associated 
events manifested by dyspnea, hypotension, wheezing, bronchospasm, tachycardia, 
reduced oxygen saturation, or respiratory distress should be managed with supportive 
therapies as clinically indicated (e.g., supplemental oxygen and β2-adrenergic agonists; 
see Section 5.1.1). 
Systemic corticosteroids and TNFα inhibitors may attenuate potential beneficial 
immunologic effects of treatment with atezolizumab but may be administered at the 
discretion of the treating physician. If feasible, alternatives to corticosteroids should be 
considered. Premedication may be administered for Cycles ≥2 at the discretion of the 
treating physician. The use of inhaled corticosteroids and mineralocorticoids (e.g., 
fludrocortisone) for patients with orthostatic hypotension or adrenocortical insufficiency 
is allowed. Megestrol administered as appetite stimulant is acceptable while the patient is 
enrolled in the study. 
Patients who use oral contraceptives, hormone-replacement therapy, prophylactic or 
therapeutic anticoagulation therapy (such as low-molecular-weight heparin or warfarin at 
a stable dose level) should continue their use. Males and females of reproductive 
potential should use highly effective means of contraception. 
 Atezolizumab Excluded Therapies 
Any concomitant therapy intended for the treatment of cancer, whether health authority 
approved or experimental, is prohibited unless it is specifically included in the treatment 
regimen described in this protocol. This includes but is not limited to the following: 
• 
Chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, investigational 
agents, or herbal therapy (except for maintenance therapies outlined in Section 5.3.1). 
– After Cycle 1, certain forms of radiotherapy may be considered for pain 
palliation if patients are deriving benefit (e.g., treatment of known bony 
metastases); atezolizumab administration may be suspended during 
radiotherapy. 
• 
Herbal therapy intended as anticancer therapy must be discontinued ≥1 week before 
initiation of study treatment; the ingredients of many herbal medicines are not fully 
studied, and their use may result in unanticipated drug-drug interactions that may 
cause, or confound assessment of, toxicity. 
Initiation or increased dose of granulocyte colony stimulating factors (e.g., granulocyte 
colony stimulating factor, granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor, and/or 
pegfilgrastim) is prohibited.

NCI Protocol #: CITN-14 
Version Date: October 12, 2022 
 
40 
 
Patients are not allowed to receive immunostimulatory agents, including, but not limited 
to, IFN-α, IFN-γ, or IL-2, during the entire study. These agents, in combination with 
atezolizumab, could potentially increase the risk for autoimmune conditions. 
Patients should also not be receiving immunosuppressive medications, including, but not 
limited to, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, and thalidomide. These agents 
could potentially alter the activity and the safety of atezolizumab. 
 Recombinant Human IL-7 (CYT107) 
The excluded therapies listed above (Section 5.3.1) also apply to CYT107. 
Immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive agents are prohibited.  
Topical corticosteroids to treat injection site reaction are allowed. 
Studies performed to investigate the potential of CYT107 to inhibit or to act as a time 
dependent inhibitor of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 isozymes (see Investigator 
Brochure) concluded that at the concentration investigated, it is unlikely that CYT107 
will be involved in drug-drug interactions and CYT107 is not expected to cause clinically 
significant P450 inhibition or induction. However, the case report form (CRF) must 
capture the concurrent use of all other drugs, over-the-counter medications, or alternative 
therapies including vitamins and nutritional supplements. 
5.4 
Duration of Therapy 
In the absence of treatment delays due to AE(s), treatment may continue for up to 2 years or until 
one of the following criteria applies: 
 
• 
Disease progression warranting alternative systemic therapy, 
Note: Patients with radiographic progressive disease (PD) who are otherwise stable 
without symptomatic progression may continue Atezolizumab until the next radiographic 
imaging time point (within 9 weeks) to assess for possible pseudoprogression. 
• 
Intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment, 
• 
Unacceptable AE(s), 
• 
Patient decides to withdraw from the study, 
• 
General or specific changes in the patient's condition render the patient unacceptable 
for further treatment in the judgment of the investigator, 
• 
Patient noncompliance, 
• 
Dosing interruption lasting >12 weeks (see Section 6.1.1), 
• 
Pregnancy 
– All women of child-bearing potential should be instructed to contact the 
investigator immediately if they suspect they might be pregnant (e.g., missed 
or late menstrual period) at any time during study participation. 
– The investigator must immediately notify CTEP in the event of a confirmed 
pregnancy in a patient participating in the study.

• 
Termination of the study by sponsor(s), or 
• 
The drug manufacturer can no longer provide the study agent 
The reason(s) for protocol therapy discontinuation, the reason(s) for study removal, and the 
corresponding dates must be documented in the CRF. 
All patients who tolerate the protocol regimen and with either complete tumor response (CR), 
partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) will be permitted to continue treatment with 
atezolizumab until confirmed disease progression or for up to 2 years. 
Discontinuation of treatment may be considered, at the discretion of the treating physician, for 
patients who have attained a confirmed CR that have been treated for at least 24 weeks with 
atezolizumab and had at least 2 treatments beyond the date when the initial CR was declared. 
5.5 
Study Treatment beyond Disease Progression 
Immunotherapeutic agents such as atezolizumab may produce antitumor effects by potentiating 
endogenous cancer-specific immune responses. The response patterns seen with such an 
approach may extend beyond the typical time course of responses seen with cytotoxic agents and 
can manifest as a clinical response after an initial increase in tumor burden or even the 
appearance of new lesions. 
Patients with radiographic PD who are otherwise stable without symptomatic progression may 
continue trial treatment as long as they meet the following criteria (following consultation with 
Protocol PI and/or CITN Coordinating Center): 
 
• 
Investigator-assessed clinical benefit 
• 
Tolerance of study treatment 
• 
Absence of signs and symptoms (including worsening of laboratory values) indicating 
disease progression 
• 
No decline in ECOG performance status 
• 
Absence of rapid progression of disease or threat to vital organs 
• 
Absence of progressive tumor at critical anatomical sites (e.g., cord compression) 
requiring urgent alternative medical intervention 
Patients should remain on the trial and continue to receive monitoring according to the Study 
Calendar (Section 10).  
5.6 
Duration of Follow-Up 
The active study will end when the last patient reaches 2 years. 
Disease status and overall survival data will be collected and reported every 12 weeks, either by 
in-person visit or by telephone assessment. 
Upon discontinuation of study treatment in patients without documented progression, every 
effort should be made to continue monitoring disease status by radiologic imaging at the 
investigative site or locally. Imaging will be collected and evaluated per RECIST 1.1. Patients 
will be followed for disease assessment for up to 2 years after discontinuation of study treatment.  
Use of this document is governed by the terms of use on the first page of this document 

NCI Protocol #: CITN-14 
Version Date: October 12, 2022 
 
42 
 
Standard of care disease assessments will be collected until disease progression, start of new 
anticancer treatment, death or end of study, whichever occurs first.  
After disease progression or start of new anticancer treatment, patient will be followed for 
overall survival only. Survival follow-up will continue until death or the end of the study, 
whichever occurs first.   
Patients removed from study for unacceptable AE(s) will be followed until resolution or 
stabilization of the AE; in addition, the patients will be followed for disease status and overall 
survival, as described above.  
5.7 
Patient Replacement 
All randomly assigned patients who receive at least one dose of the investigational treatment will 
be considered evaluable for safety and included in the overall safety analysis. 
During the Safety Run-in Phase, patients who discontinue from the study before completion of 
the full 4-week DLT window for reasons other than the occurrence of a DLT (e.g., withdrawal of 
consent, rapid tumor progression, death due to rapid tumor progression, AE that does not meet 
DLT criteria) will not be considered evaluable for DLTs and will be replaced. 
6. 
DOSING DELAYS/DOSE MODIFICATIONS 
The NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 will be used to grade AEs. Patients enrolled in this study will be 
evaluated clinically and with standard laboratory tests before and at regular intervals during their 
participation in this study as specified in this section. 
Patients will be evaluated for AEs (all grades), serious AEs, and AEs requiring study drug 
interruption or discontinuation at each study visit for the duration of their participation in the 
study. 
6.1 
Atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) 
 General AE Management and Dose Modification Guidelines 
There will be no dose reduction for atezolizumab in this study. 
Patients may temporarily suspend study treatment for up to 84 days (12 weeks) beyond 
the scheduled date of delayed infusion if study drug-related toxicity requiring dose 
suspension is experienced. If atezolizumab is held because of AEs for >84 days beyond 
the scheduled date of infusion, the patient will be discontinued from atezolizumab and 
will be followed for safety and efficacy as specified in this protocol. If the AE resolves 
within 84 days and the patient is receiving corticosteroid therapy for the event, 
atezolizumab may be held for longer than 84 days (up to 4 weeks) in order to allow 
tapering of the steroid dose to ≤10 mg oral prednisone or equivalent. 
Dose interruptions for reasons other than toxicity, such as surgical procedures, may be 
allowed. The acceptable length of interruption will be at the discretion of the study PI in 
consultation with CTEP.

For detailed information regarding management of AEs associated with atezolizumab, 
please refer to the most current version of the Atezolizumab Investigator’s Brochure and 
the FDA product label. 
The primary approach to grade 1 to 2 irAEs is supportive and symptomatic care with 
continued treatment with atezolizumab; for higher-grade irAEs, atezolizumab should be 
withheld and oral and/or parenteral steroids administered. Recurrent grade 2 irAEs may 
also mandate withholding atezolizumab or the use of steroids. Assessment of the benefit-
risk balance should be made by the investigator, with consideration of the totality of 
information as it pertains to the nature of the toxicity and the degree of clinical benefit a 
given patient may be experiencing before further administration of atezolizumab. 
Atezolizumab should be permanently discontinued in patients with life-threatening irAEs. 
Patients should be assessed clinically (including review of laboratory values) for toxicity 
before, during, and after each infusion. If unmanageable toxicity due to atezolizumab 
occurs at any time during the study, treatment with atezolizumab should be discontinued. 
 Management of Specific AEs 
Management of certain AEs of concern, including immune-related pneumonitis, hepatitis, 
colitis, endocrinopathies, pancreatitis, neuropathies, meningoencephalitis, and potential 
ocular toxicities are presented in the Atezolizumab Investigator’s Brochure. See Section 
5.1.1, including the ‘Administration of First and Subsequent Atezolizumab 
Infusions’ table for guidelines for the management of Infusion-Related Reactions and 
Anaphylaxis. 
Atezolizumab has been associated with risks such as the following: IRRs and 
immune−related hepatitis, pneumonitis, colitis, pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, 
hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, hypophysitis, Guillain-Barré 
syndrome, myasthenic syndrome or myasthenia gravis, meningoencephalitis, 
myocarditis, nephritis, myositis, and severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Immune-
mediated reactions may involve any organ system and may lead to hemophagocytic 
lymphohistiocytosis and macrophage activation syndrome. 
6.1.2.1 
Pulmonary events 
 
Dyspnea, cough, fatigue, hypoxia, pneumonitis, and pulmonary infiltrates have been associated 
with the administration of atezolizumab. Patients will be assessed for pulmonary signs and 
symptoms throughout the study and will have computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest 
performed at every tumor assessment. 
All pulmonary events should be thoroughly evaluated for other commonly reported etiologies 
such as pneumonia or other infection, lymphangitic carcinomatosis, pulmonary embolism, heart 
failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or pulmonary hypertension. Management 
guidelines for pulmonary events are provided in the table below.

a Atezolizumab may be withheld for a longer period of time (i.e., >12 weeks after event onset) to allow 
for corticosteroids (if initiated) to be reduced to the equivalent of ≤10 mg/day oral prednisone.  The 
acceptable length of the extended period of time must be based on an assessment of benefit−risk by the 
investigator and in alignment with the protocol requirements for the duration of treatment and 
documented by the investigator. 
b If corticosteroids have been initiated, they must be tapered over ≥ 1 month to the equivalent of ≤10 
mg/day oral prednisone before atezolizumab can be resumed. 
c Resumption of atezolizumab may be considered in patients who are deriving benefit and have fully 
recovered from the immune-mediated event.  The decision to re−challenge patients with atezolizumab 
should be based on investigator's assessment of benefit−risk and documented by the investigator (or 
appropriate delegate). 
6.1.2.2 
Hepatic events 
 
Immune-mediated hepatitis has been associated with the administration of atezolizumab.  
Patients eligible for study treatment must have adequate liver function, as manifested by 
measurements of total bilirubin and hepatic transaminases, and liver function will be monitored 
throughout study treatment.  Management guidelines for hepatic events are provided in the table 
below.

are provided in the table below 
Patients with unexplained symptoms such as headache, fatigue, myalgias, impotence, 
constipation, or mental status changes should be investigated for the presence of thyroid, 
pituitary, or adrenal endocrinopathies. The patient should be referred to an endocrinologist if an 
endocrinopathy is suspected. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free triiodothyronine (T3) 
and thyroxine (T4) levels should be obtained to determine whether thyroid abnormalities are 
present. Pituitary hormone levels and function tests (e.g., TSH, growth hormone, luteinizing 
hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, testosterone, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone

6.1.2.6 
Immune-mediated Myocarditis 
 
Immune-mediated myocarditis has been associated with the administration of atezolizumab.  
Immune-mediated myocarditis should be suspected in any patient presenting with signs or 
symptoms suggestive of myocarditis, including, but not limited to, laboratory (e.g., B-type 
natriuretic peptide) or cardiac imaging abnormalities, dyspnea, chest pain, palpitations, fatigue, 
decreased exercise tolerance, or syncope.  Myocarditis may also be a clinical manifestation of 
myositis and should be managed accordingly.  Immune-mediated myocarditis needs to be 
distinguished from myocarditis resulting from infection (commonly viral, e.g., in a patient who 
reports a recent history of gastrointestinal illness), ischemic events, underlying arrhythmias, 
exacerbation of preexisting cardiac conditions, or progression of malignancy.   
All patients with possible myocarditis should be urgently evaluated by performing cardiac 
enzyme assessment, an ECG, a chest X-ray, an echocardiogram, and a cardiac MRI as 
appropriate per institutional guidelines.  A cardiologist should be consulted.  An endomyocardial 
biopsy may be considered to enable a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment, if clinically 
indicated. 
Patients with signs and symptoms of myocarditis, in the absence of an identified alternate 
etiology, should be treated according to the guidelines in the table below.

6.1.2.7 
Infusion-Related Reactions and Cytokine-Release Syndrome 
 
No premedication is indicated for the administration of Cycle 1 of atezolizumab.  However, 
patients who experience an infusion-related reaction (IRR) or cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) 
with atezolizumab may receive premedication with antihistamines, anti-pyretics, and/or 
analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen) for subsequent infusions.  Metamizole (dipyrone) is prohibited 
in treating atezolizumab-associated IRRs because of its potential for causing agranulocytosis. 
IRRs are known to occur with the administration of monoclonal antibodies and have been 
reported with atezolizumab.  These reactions, which are thought to be due to release of cytokines 
and/or other chemical mediators, occur within 24 hours of atezolizumab administration and are 
generally mild to moderate in severity. 
 
CRS is defined as a supraphysiologic response following administration of any immune therapy 
that results in activation or engagement of endogenous or infused T cells and/or other immune 
effector cells.  Symptoms can be progressive, always include fever at the onset, and may include 
hypotension, capillary leak (hypoxia), and end-organ dysfunction (Lee et al., 2019).  CRS has 
been well documented with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies and bispecific T-cell 
engager antibody therapies but has also been reported with immunotherapies that target PD-1 or 
PD-L1 (Rotz et al., 2017; Adashek and Feldman, 2019), including atezolizumab. 
 
There may be significant overlap in signs and symptoms of IRRs and CRS, and in recognition of 
the challenges in clinically distinguishing between the two, consolidated guidelines for medical 
management of IRRs and CRS are provided in the table below. 
 
Severe COVID-19 appears to be associated with a CRS involving the inflammatory cytokines 
interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-2, and IFN-γ (Merad and Martin, 2020).  If a patient develops 
suspected CRS during the study, a differential diagnosis should include COVID-19, which 
should be confirmed or refuted through assessment of exposure history, appropriate laboratory 
testing, and clinical or radiologic evaluations per investigator judgment.  If a diagnosis of 
COVID-19 is confirmed, the disease should be managed as per local or institutional guidelines.

Dermatologic Events 
 
Treatment-emergent rash has been associated with atezolizumab.  The majority of cases of rash 
were mild in severity and self-limiting, with or without pruritus.  Although uncommon, cases of 
severe cutaneous adverse reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal 
necrolysis have been reported with atezolizumab.  A dermatologist should evaluate persistent 
and/or severe rash or pruritus.  A biopsy should be considered unless contraindicated.  
Management guidelines for dermatologic events are provided in the table below. 
 
Event 
Management

6.1.2.10 
Immune-mediated Meningoencephalitis 
 
Immune-related meningoencephalitis is an identified risk associated with the administration of 
atezolizumab. Immune-related meningoencephalitis should be suspected in any patient 
presenting with signs or symptoms suggestive of meningitis or encephalitis, including, but not 
limited to, headache, neck pain, confusion, seizure, motor or sensory dysfunction, and altered or 
depressed level of consciousness. Encephalopathy from metabolic or electrolyte imbalances 
needs to be distinguished from potential meningoencephalitis resulting from infection (bacterial, 
viral, or fungal) or progression of malignancy, or secondary to a paraneoplastic process.

Renal Events 
 
Immune-mediated nephritis has been associated with the administration of atezolizumab.  
Eligible patients must have adequate renal function.  Renal function, including serum creatinine, 
should be monitored throughout study treatment.  Patients with abnormal renal function should 
be evaluated and treated for other more common etiologies (including prerenal and postrenal 
causes, and concomitant medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).  Refer the 
patient to a renal specialist if clinically indicated.  A renal biopsy may be required to enable a 
definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Immune-Mediated Myositis 
 
Immune-mediated myositis has been associated with the administration of atezolizumab.  
Myositis or inflammatory myopathies are a group of disorders sharing the common feature of 
inflammatory muscle injury; dermatomyositis and polymyositis are among the most common 
disorders.  Initial diagnosis is based on clinical (muscle weakness, muscle pain, skin rash in 
dermatomyositis), biochemical (serum creatine kinase increase), and imaging 
(electromyography/MRI) features, and is confirmed with a muscle biopsy.  Patients with possible 
myositis should be referred to a rheumatologist or neurologist.  Patients with possible myositis 
should be monitored for signs of myocarditis. 
Patients with signs and symptoms of myositis, in the absence of an identified alternate etiology,

6.1.2.14 
Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis and Macrophage Activation Syndrome 
 
Immune-mediated reactions may involve any organ system and may lead to hemophagocytic 
lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), which are considered 
to be potential risks for atezolizumab.   
 
Patients with suspected HLH should be diagnosed according to published criteria by McClain 
and Eckstein (2014).  A patient should be classified as having HLH if five of the following eight 
criteria are met: 
• Fever ≥38.5°C 
• Splenomegaly 
• Peripheral blood cytopenia consisting of at least two of the following: 
− 
Hemoglobin <90 g/L (9 g/dL) (<100 g/L [10 g/dL] for infants <4 weeks old) 
− 
Platelet count <100 × 109/L (100,000/mcL) 
− 
ANC <1.0 × 109/L (1000/mcL) 
• Fasting triglycerides >2.992 mmol/L (265 mg/dL) and/or fibrinogen <1.5 g/L 
(150 mg/dL) 
• Hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, spleen, lymph node, or liver 
• Low or absent natural killer cell activity 
• Ferritin >500 mg/L (500 ng/mL) 
• Soluble interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor (soluble CD25) elevated ≥ 2 standard deviations 
above age-adjusted laboratory-specific norms 
 
Patients with suspected MAS should be diagnosed according to published criteria for systemic 
juvenile idiopathic arthritis by Ravelli et al. (2016).  A febrile patient should be classified as 
having MAS if the following criteria are met: 
• Ferritin >684 mg/L (684 ng/mL) 
• At least two of the following: 
− 
Platelet count ≤181 × 109/L (181,000/mcL) 
−

indicated per institutional guidelines. 
• 
Consider initiation of IV corticosteroids, an immunosuppressive agent, 
and/or anti-cytokine therapy. 
• 
If event does not respond to treatment within 24 hours, initiate 
treatment as appropriate according to published guidelines (La Rosée 
2015; Schram and Berliner 2015; La Rosée et al., 2019). 
•

HLH = hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis; MAS = macrophage activation syndrome. 
 
6.2 
Recombinant Human IL-7 (CYT107) 
There will be no dose reduction for CYT107 in this study. 
Delays in dosing will be allowed for delays such as weather factors resulting in delays getting to 
the clinic or hospital, travel delays, clinic schedules, or emergencies. A delay of up to 72 hours 
will be allowed on one occasion during the course of a treatment cycle. 
Patients will come off protocol therapy if any CYT107 or treatment-related grade 3 or 4 AEs by 
CTCAE Version 5.0 criteria occur with the exception of transient lymphopenia. Three cases of 
Grade 3 lymphopenia have been documented with CYT107. Peripheral lymphopenia after the 
first CYT107 injection is a sign of CYT107 activity; reflecting the rhIL-7 ‘homing effect’ of 
lymphocytes to deep tissues. 
For purposes of this trial, since peripheral lymphopenia is a transient event, a Grade 3 
‘lymphocyte count decrease’ to <500-200 cells/mm3 and a Grade 4 ‘lymphocyte count decrease’ 
to <200 cells/mm3 will not require patients coming off protocol provided the lymphocyte count 
returns to a minimum of 500 cells/mm3 by the time of the scheduled start of the next weekly dose 
within the treatment phase. A Grade 3 or 4 ‘lymphocyte count decrease’ will require patients 
coming off protocol if the count fails to return to a minimum of 500 cells/mm3 by the time of the 
scheduled start of the next weekly dose. 
Dose modifications for Adverse Events: Substantial AEs are not expected and thus dose 
modifications are not planned or recommended. In all human trials with CYT107, AEs were 
frequent, but transient and grade 2 or less (as noted in the Adverse Event list, Section 7.1.2). 
These include injection site reactions, lymphadenopathy, pyrexia, rash, and fatigue.

Adverse Event Characteristics 
• 
CTCAE term (AE description) and grade: The descriptions and grading scales 
found in the revised NCI CTCAE version 5.0 will be utilized for AE reporting. All 
appropriate treatment areas should have access to a copy of the CTCAE version 5.0. 
A copy of the CTCAE version 5.0 can be downloaded from the CTEP web site 
http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/ctc.htm. 
 
• 
For expedited reporting purposes only: 
– AEs for the agent that are bold and italicized in the CAEPR (i.e., those listed 
in the SPEER column, Section 7.1.1) should be reported through CTEP-AERS 
only if the grade is above the grade provided in the SPEER. 
– Other AEs for the protocol that do not require expedited reporting are outlined 
in Section 7.3.4. 
• 
Attribution of the AE: 
– Definite – The AE is clearly related to the study treatment. 
– Probable – The AE is likely related to the study treatment. 
– Possible – The AE may be related to the study treatment. 
– Unlikely – The AE is doubtfully related to the study treatment. 
– Unrelated – The AE is clearly NOT related to the study treatment. 
7.3 
Expedited Adverse Event Reporting 
 Rave-CTEP-AERS Integration 
The Rave Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program Adverse Event Reporting System (CTEP-
AERS) Integration enables evaluation of Adverse Events (AE) entered in Rave to 
determine whether they require expedited reporting and facilitates entry in CTEP-AERS 
for those AEs requiring expedited reporting. Sites must initiate all AEs for this study in 
Medidata Rave.  
 
Treatment-emergent AEs: All AEs that occur after start of treatment are collected in 
Medidata Rave using the Adverse Event form, which is available for entry at each 
treatment course or reporting period and is used to collect AEs that start during the period 
or persist from the previous reporting period. AEs that occur 30 Days after the Last 
Administration of the Investigational Agent/Intervention are collected using the Late 
Adverse Event form. 
 
Prior to sending AEs through the rules evaluation process, site staff should verify the 
following on the Adverse Event form in Rave: 
• The reporting period (course/cycle) is correct; and 
• AEs are recorded and complete (no missing fields) and the form is query free.

The CRA reports AEs in Rave at the time the Investigator learns of the event. If the CRA 
modifies an AE, it must be re-submitted for rules evaluation. 
 
Upon completion of AE entry in Medidata Rave, the CRA submits the AE for rules 
evaluation by completing the Expedited Reporting Evaluation form. Both NCI and 
protocol-specific reporting rules evaluate the AEs submitted for expedited reporting. A 
report is initiated in CTEP-AERS using information entered in Medidata Rave for AEs 
that meet reporting requirements. The CRA completes the report by accessing CTEP-
AERS via a direct link on the Medidata Rave Expedited Reporting Evaluation form. 
Contact the CTSU Help Desk at 1-888-823-5923 or by email at ctsucontact@westat.com 
if you have any issues submitting an expedited report in CTEP-AERS. 
 
In the rare occurrence that internet connectivity is lost, a 24-hour notification is to be 
made to CTEP by telephone at 301-897-7497. Once internet connectivity is restored, the 
24-hour notification that was phoned in must be entered immediately into CTEP-AERS 
using the direct link from Medidata Rave.

 Distribution of Adverse Event Reports 
CTEP-AERS is programmed for automatic electronic distribution of reports to the 
following individuals: PI and Adverse Event Coordinator(s) (if applicable) of the 
Corresponding Organization or Lead Organization, the local treating physician, and the 
Reporter, and Submitter. CTEP-AERS provides a copy feature for other email recipients. 
 Expedited Reporting Guidelines 
Use the NCI protocol number and the protocol-specific patient ID assigned during trial 
registration on all reports.

 Additional Protocol-Specific Expedited Adverse Event Reporting Exclusions: N/A 
 Adverse Events of Special Interest in Atezolizumab Studies 
The following AEs are considered of special interest in patients receiving atezolizumab 
and must be reported expeditiously through CTEP-AERS, irrespective of regulatory 
seriousness criteria: 
• 
Cases of potential drug-induced liver injury that include an elevated ALT or AST in 
combination with either an elevated bilirubin or clinical jaundice, as defined by Hy’s 
Law and based on the following observations:  
• 
Treatment-emergent ALT or AST > 3 x ULN (or > 3 x baseline value in disease 
states where LFTs may be elevated at baseline) in combination with total bilirubin 
> 2 x ULN (of which ≥ 35% is direct bilirubin)  
• 
Treatment-emergent ALT or AST > 3 x ULN (or > 3 x baseline value in disease 
states where LFTs may be elevated at baseline) in combination with clinical 
jaundice    
• 
Suspected transmission of an infectious agent by the study treatment, as defined 
below: 
• 
Any organism, virus, or infectious particle (e.g., prion protein transmitting 
transmissible spongiform encephalopathy), pathogenic or non-pathogenic, is 
considered an infectious agent. A transmission of an infectious agent may be 
suspected from clinical symptoms or laboratory findings that indicate an infection 
in a patient exposed to a medicinal product. This term applies only when a 
contamination of study treatment is suspected. 
• 
Pneumonitis 
• 
Colitis 
• 
Endocrinopathies: diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis, hyperthyroidism, hypophysitis, and 
adrenal insufficiency 
• 
Hepatitis, including AST or ALT >10 x ULN 
• 
Systemic lupus erythematosus 
• 
Neurological disorders: Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenic syndrome or 
myasthenia gravis, and meningoencephalitis 
• 
Events suggestive of hypersensitivity, cytokine release syndrome, influenza-like 
illness, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, systemic immune activation, or 
infusion-related reactions 
•

• 
Severe cutaneous reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome, dermatitis, bullous, toxi 
epidermal necrolysis) 
7.4 
Routine Adverse Event Reporting 
All AEs must be reported in routine study data submissions. AEs reported expeditiously 
through CTEP-AERS must also be reported in routine study data submissions. 
AE data collection and reporting, which are required as part of every clinical trial, are done to 
ensure the safety of patients enrolled in the studies as well as those who will enroll in future 
studies using similar agents. AEs are reported in a routine manner at scheduled times during the 
trial using Medidata Rave. For this trial the Adverse Event CRF is used for routine AE reporting 
in Rave. 
7.5 
Pregnancy 
Although not an adverse event in and of itself, pregnancy as well as its outcome must be 
documented via CTEP-AERS. In addition, the Pregnancy Information Form included within 
the NCI Guidelines for Adverse Event Reporting Requirements must be completed and 
submitted to CTEP. Any pregnancy occurring in a patient or patient’s partner from the time of 
consent to 150 days after the last dose of study drug must be reported and then followed for 
outcome. Newborn infants should be followed until 30 days old. Please see the “NCI Guidelines 
for Investigators: Adverse Event Reporting Requirements for DCTD (CTEP and CIP) and DCP 
INDs and IDEs” (at http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/adverse effects.htm) for more 
details on how to report pregnancy and its outcome to CTEP. 
7.6 
Secondary Malignancy 
A secondary malignancy is a cancer caused by treatment for a previous malignancy (e.g., 
treatment with investigational agent/intervention, radiation, or chemotherapy). A secondary 
malignancy is not considered a metastasis of the initial neoplasm. 
CTEP requires all secondary malignancies that occur after treatment with an agent under an NCI 
IND/IDE be reported expeditiously via CTEP-AERS. Three options are available to describe the 
event: 
• Leukemia secondary to oncology chemotherapy (e.g., acute myelocytic leukemia [AML]) 
• Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) 
• Treatment-related secondary malignancy 
Any malignancy possibly related to cancer treatment (including AML/MDS) should also be 
reported via the routine reporting mechanisms outlined in each protocol. 
7.7 
Second Malignancy 
A second malignancy is one unrelated to the treatment of a prior malignancy (and is NOT a 
metastasis from the initial malignancy). Second malignancies require ONLY routine AE 
reporting unless otherwise specified.

PHARMACEUTICAL INFORMATION 
A list of the AEs and potential risks associated with the investigational agents administered in 
this study can be found in Section 7.1. 
8.1 
CTEP IND Agent(s) 
 Atezolizumab (NSC 783608) 
Other Names: TecentriqTM, MPDL3280A 
Classification: monoclonal antibody 
M.W.: 150 KD 
Mode of Action: anti-PD-L1 
Description: 
Atezolizumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody consisting of 2 heavy chains 
(448 amino acids) and 2 light chains (214 amino acids). Atezolizumab targets human PD-
L1 and inhibits its interaction with its receptor PD-1. Atezolizumab also blocks the 
binding of PD-L1 to B7.1, an interaction that is reported to provide additional inhibitory 
signals to T cells (Butte et al. 2007). 
How Supplied: 
Atezolizumab is provided by Genentech/F.Hoffmann-La Roche LTD and distributed by 
the Pharmaceutical Management Branch, CTEP, NCI. The agent is supplied in a single-
use, 20-mL glass vial as a colorless-to-slightly-yellow, sterile, preservative-free clear 
liquid solution intended for IV administration. Each 20 mL vial contains 1200 mg of 
atezolizumab and is formulated in glacial acetic acid (16.5 mg), L-histidine (62 mg), 
polysorbate 20 (8 mg), and sucrose (821.6 mg), with a pH of 5.8. The vial is designed to 
deliver 20 mL (1200 mg) of atezolizumab solution but may contain more than the stated 
volume to enable delivery of the entire 20 mL volume. 
Preparation: 
The prescribed dose of atezolizumab should be diluted 0.9% NaCl to a concentration 
between 3.2 mg/mL and 16.8 mg/mL and infused with or without a low-protein binding 
0.2 or 0.22 micrometer in-line filter. The IV bag may be constructed of polyvinyl 
chloride (PVC), polyolefin (PO), or polyethylene (PE).The prepared solution may be 
stored at 2°C–8°C for up to 24 hours or at ambient ≤ 25°C (77°F) for 6 hours from the 
time of preparation. If the dose solution is stored at 2°C–8°C (36°C–46°F), it should be 
removed from refrigeration and allowed to reach room temperature prior to 
administration. These times include the storage and administration times for the infusion. 
Do not shake or freeze infusion bags containing the dose solution.  
Storage: 2°C–8°C (36°F–46°F). Vial contents should not be frozen or shaken and should 
be protected from direct sunlight.

If a storage temperature excursion is identified, promptly return atezolizumab to 2°C-8°C 
(36°F-46°F) and quarantine the supplies. Provide a detailed report of the excursion 
(including documentation of temperature monitoring and duration of the excursion) to 
PMBAfterHours@mail.nih.gov for determination of suitability. 
Stability: Stability studies are ongoing. 
CAUTION: No preservative is used in atezolizumab; therefore, the vial is intended for 
single use only. Discard any unused portion of drug remaining in a vial. 
Route of Administration: IV infusion 
Method of Administration: 
Atezolizumab is administered as an IV infusion over 60 minutes. If the first infusion is 
tolerated, all subsequent infusions may be delivered over 30 minutes. Do not administer 
atezolizumab as an IV push or bolus. No premedication is indicated for administration of 
Cycle 1 of atezolizumab. Patients who experience an infusion-related reaction with Cycle 
1 of atezolizumab may receive premedication with subsequent infusions. 
Potential Drug Interactions: 
Cytochrome P450 enzymes as well as conjugation/glucuronidation reactions are not 
involved in the metabolism of atezolizumab. No drug interaction studies for atezolizumab 
have been conducted or are planned. There are no known interactions with other 
medicinal products or other form of interactions. 
Patient Care Implications: 
Male patients and female patients of childbearing potential should utilize contraception 
and take active measures to avoid pregnancy while undergoing atezolizumab treatment 
and for at least 5 months (150 days) after the last dose of atezolizumab. 
Availability: 
Atezolizumab is an investigational agent supplied to investigators by the Division of 
Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD), NCI. 
Atezolizumab is provided to the NCI under a Collaborative Agreement between the 
Pharmaceutical Collaborator and the DCTD, NCI (see Section 12.4). 
 CYT107 (Recombinant Glycosylated Human Interleukin-7) (NSC 767713) 
Other Names: Human Interleukin-7, Lymphopoietin-1, rHuIL-7  
Classification: Cytokine 
M.W.: 22kDa 
Mode of Action: Multifunctional cytokine critical for T-cell development and 
homeostasis.

Description: 
Glycosylated 152 amino acid recombinant protein containing three N-glycosylation sites 
and one O-glycosylation site, with 3 disulfide bridges: Cys2- Cys 92, Cys 34- Cys 129, 
and Cys 47- Cys 141. CYT107 is produced using a Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line. 
How Supplied: CYT107 is supplied by RevImmune and distributed by the 
Pharmaceutical Management Branch, CTEP, DCTD, NCI. Each single-use 0.6 mL vial 
contains 1200 mcg of CYT107 at a concentration of 2000 mcg/mL, as a sterile, clear, 
colorless solution containing 10mM Sodium Acetate, 100mM Sodium chloride, 50mM 
Glutamic acid, 50mM Arginine, pH approximately 5. 
 
CYT107 is provided to the NCI under a Collaborative Agreement between the 
Pharmaceutical Collaborator and the DCTD, NCI (see Section 12.4). 
Preparation: Do not shake vials. Remove number of vials required for dose preparation 
from the freezer and thaw at refrigerated temperature (2-8°C) for 1 hour prior to dose 
preparation. Once thawed, inspect vials for any visible particulate matter. If observed, 
discard vials. Aseptically withdraw the required dose volume into a syringe for 
administration.  
 
Storage: Store vials in their original box frozen at -20°C. 
 
If a storage temperature excursion is identified, promptly return CYT107 vials to -20°C 
freezer and quarantine the supplies. Provide a detailed report of the excursion (including 
documentation of temperature monitoring and duration of the excursion) to 
PMBAfterHours@mail.nih.gov for determination of suitability. 
Stability: Stability studies of the intact vials are ongoing. Do not re-freeze thawed vials. 
Intact vials may be removed from the freezer and kept at refrigerated temperature for a 
maximum of 12 hours prior to dose administration. Once dose is withdrawn into a 
syringe, administer immediately. If necessary, prepared syringes may be stored 
refrigerated for up to 6 hours prior to administration. Vials are for single-use only. 
Destroy any remaining contents following dose preparation.  
 
Route and Method of Administration: Intramuscular (IM) injection. Inject slowly (over 
10-20 seconds) into Deltoid muscle or muscle of the thighs or buttocks, away from joints, 
nerves or bones. Rotate injection sites with each injection.  
Potential Drug Interactions: In-vitro, CYT107 did not inhibit isoenzymes CYP1A2, 
CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4. In 
vitro, CYT107 did not induce isoenzymes CYP1A, CYP2B6 and CYP3A4. At 
concentrations tested, it is unlikely CYT107 will cause drug-drug interactions.  
 
Patient Care Implications: Advise study participants to use effective contraception 
while receiving study treatment and for at least 2 months after the last dose.

For patient with a Body Mass Index (BMI) >30, an adjusted body weight will be used to 
calculate the final dose to be administered. Please refer to Appendix D for details on the 
adjusted body weight calculation. 
 
 Agent Ordering and Agent Accountability 
NCI-supplied agents may be requested by the PI (or their authorized designee) at each 
participating institution. Pharmaceutical Management Branch (PMB) policy requires that 
agent be shipped directly to the institution where the patient is to be treated. PMB does 
not permit the transfer of agents between institutions (unless prior approval from PMB is 
obtained). The CTEP-assigned protocol number must be used for ordering all CTEP-
supplied investigational agents. The responsible investigator at each participating 
institution must be registered with CTEP, DCTD through an annual submission of FDA 
Form 1572 (Statement of Investigator), Biosketch/Curriculum Vitae, Supplemental 
Investigator Data Form (IDF), and Financial Disclosure Form (FDF). If there are several 
participating investigators at one institution, CTEP-supplied investigational agents for the 
study should be ordered under the name of one lead investigator at that institution. 
Active CTEP-registered investigators and investigator-designated shipping designees and 
ordering designees can submit agent requests through the PMB Online Agent Order 
Processing (OAOP) application. Access to OAOP requires the establishment of a CTEP 
IAM account and the maintenance of an “active” account status and a “current” 
password. For questions about drug orders, transfers, returns, or accountability, call or 
email PMB any time. Refer to the PMB’s website for specific policies and guidelines 
related to agent management. 
8.1.3.1 
Agent Inventory Records 
The investigator, or a responsible party designated by the investigator, must maintain 
a careful record of the receipt, dispensing and final disposition of all agents received 
from the PMB using the appropriate NCI Investigational Agent (Drug) Accountability 
Record (DARF) available on the CTEP forms page. Store and maintain separate NCI 
Investigational Agent Accountability Records for each agent, strength, formulation, 
and ordering investigator on this protocol. 
 Investigator Brochure Availability 
The current versions of the IBs for the agents will be accessible to site investigators and 
research staff through the PMB OAOP application. Access to OAOP requires the 
establishment of a CTEP-IAM account and the maintenance of an “active” account status 
and a “current” password. Questions about IB access may be directed to the PMB IB 
Coordinator via email.

BIOMARKER, CORRELATIVE, AND SPECIAL STUDIES 
Specimens will be collected for several planned correlative studies. Many samples will be 
processed and stored to be run in batches. The CITN Immune Monitoring Laboratory will 
provide lab kits and shipping supplies. Specific instructions on numbers and types of tubes 
required for each visit are provided in the CITN-14 Laboratory Manual.  
When blood volume or specimen material is limited, the correlative studies will be considered 
secondary to tests needed to make clinical decisions. Prioritization of secondary tests will be 
made based on technical considerations, total amount of sample from each individual subject, 
total number of samples acquired, total number of each assay performed, and information gained 
from the assays performed to date. The anticipated priority correlatives are: 
Plasma/serum-based studies 
1. Multiplex Cytokines – Multiplex ELISA 
2. Kynurenine and tryptophan (Kyn/Trp) ratios and

MEASUREMENT OF EFFECT 
11.1 
Antitumor Effect – Solid Tumors 
For the purposes of this study, patients should be re-evaluated for response every 9 weeks. 
Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria 
proposed by the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline 
(version 1.1) [Eisenhauer 2009]. Changes in the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) 
of the tumor lesions and the shortest diameter in the case of malignant lymph nodes are used in 
the RECIST criteria. 
This study will also evaluate response and progression using immune-related response criteria 
(irRC) [Wolchok 2009]. See Appendix C for a detailed description of the evaluation criteria. 
 Definitions 
Evaluable for toxicity. All patients will be evaluable for toxicity from the time of their 
first treatment with atezolizumab and/or CYT107. 
Evaluable for objective response. Only those patients who have measurable disease 
present at baseline, have received at least one cycle of therapy, and have had their disease 
re-evaluated will be considered evaluable for response. These patients will have their 
response classified according to the definitions stated below. (Note: Patients who exhibit 
objective disease progression before the end of cycle 1 will also be considered evaluable.) 
Evaluable Non-Target Disease Response. Patients who have lesions present at baseline 
that are evaluable but do not meet the definitions of measurable disease, have received at 
least one cycle of therapy, and have had their disease re-evaluated will be considered 
evaluable for non-target disease. The response assessment is based on the presence, 
absence, or unequivocal progression of the lesions. 
 Disease Parameters 
Measurable disease. Measurable lesions are defined as those that can be accurately 
measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥20 mm (≥2 cm) 
by chest x-ray or as ≥10 mm (≥1 cm) with CT scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam. 
All tumor measurements must be recorded in millimeters (or decimal fractions of 
centimeters). 
Note: Tumor lesions that are situated in a previously irradiated area might or might not 
be considered measurable.  
Malignant lymph nodes. To be considered pathologically enlarged and measurable, a 
lymph node must be ≥15 mm (≥1.5 cm) in short axis when assessed by CT scan (CT scan 
slice thickness recommended to be no greater than 5 mm [0.5 cm]). At baseline and in 
follow-up, only the short axis will be measured and followed.

NCI Protocol #: CITN-14 
Version Date: October 12, 2022 
 
96 
Non-measurable disease. All other lesions (or sites of disease), including small lesions 
(longest diameter <10 mm [<1 cm] or pathological lymph nodes with ≥10 to <15 mm [≥1 
to <1.5 cm] short axis), are considered non-measurable disease. Bone lesions, 
leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/pericardial effusions, lymphangitis 
cutis/pulmonitis, inflammatory breast disease, and abdominal masses (not followed by 
CT or MRI), are considered as non-measurable. 
Note: Cystic lesions that meet the criteria for radiographically defined simple cysts 
should not be considered as malignant lesions (neither measurable nor non-measurable) 
since they are, by definition, simple cysts. 
‘Cystic lesions’ thought to represent cystic metastases can be considered as measurable 
lesions, if they meet the definition of measurability described above. However, if 
noncystic lesions are present in the same patient, these are preferred for selection as 
target lesions. 
Target lesions. All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 2 lesions per organ and 5 
lesions in total, representative of all involved organs, should be identified as target 
lesions and recorded and measured at baseline. Target lesions should be selected on the 
basis of their size (lesions with the longest diameter), be representative of all involved 
organs, but in addition should be those that lend themselves to reproducible repeated 
measurements. It may be the case that, on occasion, the largest lesion does not lend itself 
to reproducible measurement in which circumstance the next largest lesion which can be 
measured reproducibly should be selected. A sum of the diameters (longest for nonnodal 
lesions, short axis for nodal lesions) for all target lesions will be calculated and reported 
as the baseline sum diameters. If lymph nodes are to be included in the sum, then only the 
short axis is added into the sum. The baseline sum diameters will be used as reference to 
further characterize any objective tumor regression in the measurable dimension of the 
disease. 
Non-target lesions. All other lesions (or sites of disease) including any measurable 
lesions over and above the 5 target lesions should be identified as non-target lesions and 
should also be recorded at baseline. Measurements of these lesions are not required, but 
the presence, absence, or in rare cases unequivocal progression of each should be noted 
throughout follow-up. 
 Methods for Evaluation of Measurable Disease 
All measurements should be taken and recorded in metric notation using a ruler or 
calipers. All baseline evaluations should be performed as closely as possible to the 
beginning of treatment and never more than 4 weeks before the beginning of the 
treatment. 
The same method of assessment and the same technique should be used to characterize 
each identified and reported lesion at baseline and during follow-up. Imaging-based 
evaluation is preferred to evaluation by clinical examination unless the lesion(s) being 
followed cannot be imaged but are assessable by clinical exam.

Clinical lesions Clinical lesions will only be considered measurable when they are 
superficial (e.g., skin nodules and palpable lymph nodes) and ≥10 mm (≥1 cm) diameter 
as assessed using calipers (e.g., skin nodules). In the case of skin lesions, documentation 
by color photography, including a ruler to estimate the size of the lesion, is 
recommended. 
Chest x-ray Lesions on chest x-ray are acceptable as measurable lesions when they are 
clearly defined and surrounded by aerated lung. However, CT is preferable. 
Conventional CT and MRI This guideline has defined measurability of lesions on CT 
scan based on the assumption that CT slice thickness is 5 mm (0.5 cm) or less. If CT 
scans have slice thickness greater than 5 mm (0.5 cm), the minimum size for a 
measurable lesion should be twice the slice thickness. MRI is also acceptable in certain 
situations (e.g., for body scans). 
Use of MRI remains a complex issue. MRI has excellent contrast, spatial, and temporal 
resolution; however, there are many image acquisition variables involved in MRI, which 
greatly impact image quality, lesion conspicuity, and measurement. Furthermore, the 
availability of MRI is variable globally. As with CT, if an MRI is performed, the 
technical specifications of the scanning sequences used should be optimized for the 
evaluation of the type and site of disease. Furthermore, as with CT, the modality used at 
follow-up should be the same as was used at baseline and the lesions should be 
measured/assessed on the same pulse sequence. It is beyond the scope of the RECIST 
guidelines to prescribe specific MRI pulse sequence parameters for all scanners, body 
parts, and diseases. Ideally, the same type of scanner should be used and the image 
acquisition protocol should be followed as closely as possible to prior scans. Body scans 
should be performed with breath-hold scanning techniques, if possible. 
PET-CT At present, the low dose or attenuation correction CT portion of a combined 
PET-CT is not always of optimal diagnostic CT quality for use with RECIST 
measurements. However, if the site can document that the CT performed as part of a 
PET-CT is of identical diagnostic quality to a diagnostic CT (with IV and oral contrast), 
then the CT portion of the PET-CT can be used for RECIST measurements and can be 
used interchangeably with conventional CT in accurately measuring cancer lesions over 
time. Note, however, that the PET portion of the CT introduces additional data which 
may bias an investigator if it is not routinely or serially performed. 
Ultrasound Ultrasound is not useful in assessment of lesion size and should not be used 
as a method of measurement. Ultrasound examinations cannot be reproduced in their 
entirety for independent review at a later date and, because they are operator dependent, it 
cannot be guaranteed that the same technique and measurements will be taken from one 
assessment to the next. If new lesions are identified by ultrasound in the course of the 
study, confirmation by CT or MRI is advised. If there is concern about radiation exposure 
at CT, MRI may be used instead of CT in selected instances. 
Endoscopy, Laparoscopy The utilization of these techniques for objective tumor 
evaluation is not advised. However, such techniques may be useful to confirm complete

98 
pathological response when biopsies are obtained or to determine relapse in trials where 
recurrence after CR or surgical resection is an endpoint. 
Tumor markers Tumor markers alone cannot be used to assess response. If markers are 
initially above the upper normal limit, they must normalize for a patient to be considered 
in complete clinical response. Specific guidelines for both CA-125 response (in recurrent 
ovarian cancer)[Rustin 2004] and PSA response (in recurrent prostate cancer) [Bubley 
1999; Scher 2008] have been published. In addition, the Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup 
has developed CA-125 progression criteria which are to be integrated with objective 
tumor assessment for use in first-line trials in ovarian cancer [Vergote 2000]. 
Cytology, Histology These techniques can be used to differentiate between PR and CR in 
rare cases (e.g., residual lesions in tumor types, such as germ cell tumors, where known 
residual benign tumors can remain). 
The cytological confirmation of the neoplastic origin of any effusion that appears or 
worsens during treatment when the measurable tumor has met criteria for response or 
stable disease is mandatory to differentiate between response or stable disease (an 
effusion may be a side effect of the treatment) and PD. 
FDG-PET While FDG-PET response assessments need additional study, it is sometimes 
reasonable to incorporate the use of FDG-PET scanning to complement CT scanning in 
assessment of progression (particularly possible 'new' disease). New lesions on the basis 
of FDG-PET imaging can be identified according to the following algorithm: 
a. Negative FDG-PET at baseline, with a positive FDG-PET at follow-up is a sign of 
PD based on a new lesion. 
b. No FDG-PET at baseline and a positive FDG-PET at follow-up: If the positive FDG-
PET at follow-up corresponds to a new site of disease confirmed by CT, this is PD. If 
the positive FDG-PET at follow-up is not confirmed as a new site of disease on CT, 
additional follow-up CT scans are needed to determine if there is truly progression 
occurring at that site (if so, the date of PD will be the date of the initial abnormal 
FDG-PET scan). If the positive FDG-PET at follow-up corresponds to a pre-existing 
site of disease on CT that is not progressing on the basis of the anatomic images, this 
is not PD. 
c. FDG-PET may be used to upgrade a response to a CR in a manner similar to a biopsy 
in cases where a residual radiographic abnormality is thought to represent fibrosis or 
scarring. The use of FDG-PET in this circumstance should be prospectively described 
in the protocol and supported by disease-specific medical literature for the indication. 
However, it must be acknowledged that both approaches may lead to false positive 
CR due to limitations of FDG-PET and biopsy resolution/sensitivity. 
Note: A ‘positive’ FDG-PET scan lesion means one which is FDG avid with an uptake 
greater than twice that of the surrounding tissue on the attenuation corrected image.

 Response Criteria 
11.1.4.1 
Evaluation of Target Lesions 
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological 
lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to 
<10 mm (<1 cm). 
Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target 
lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. 
Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of 
target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the 
baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 
20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm (0.5 cm). 
(Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions). 
Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient 
increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on 
study. 
11.1.4.2 
Evaluation of Non-Target Lesions 
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization 
of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (<10 mm 
[<1 cm] short axis). 
Note: If tumor markers are initially above the upper normal limit, they must 
normalize for a patient to be considered in complete clinical response. 
Non-CR/Non-PD: Persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) and/or maintenance 
of tumor marker level above the normal limits. 
Progressive Disease (PD): Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or 
unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression 
should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall 
disease status change, not a single lesion increase. 
Although a clear progression of “non-target” lesions only is exceptional, the opinion 
of the treating physician should prevail in such circumstances, and the progression 
status should be confirmed at a later time by the review panel (or PI). 
11.1.4.3 
Evaluation of Best Overall Response 
The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment 
until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the 
smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). The patient's best 
response assignment will depend on the achievement of both measurement and 
confirmation criteria.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
This section outlines the statistical analysis strategy and methods for the study. If, after the study 
has begun, but before the conduct of any analysis, changes are made to primary and/or key 
secondary hypotheses or the statistical methods related to those hypotheses, then the protocol 
will be amended (consistent with ICH Guideline E-9). Changes to exploratory or other non-
confirmatory analyses made after the protocol has been finalized, along with an explanation as to 
when and why they occurred, will be listed in the Clinical Study Report (CSR) for the study. 
Post hoc exploratory analyses will be clearly identified in the CSR. No separate Statistical 
Analysis Plan (SAP) will be issued for this study. 
13.1 
Responsibility for Analyses 
The statistical analysis of the data obtained from this study will be the responsibility of Fred 
Hutch as part of the CITN. 
13.2 
Study Design/Objectives 
This is a phase II trial of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) plus recombinant human IL-7 (CYT107) 
in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. The trial follows a 
randomized, controlled trial design, with an initial ‘Safety Run-In’ phase designed to evaluate 
the acute safety profile of the investigational treatment combination. The Safety Run-In phase is 
designed to demonstrate that the incidence of DLTs is 16.7% or less in 6 patients receiving the 
investigational combination. These patients will not be included as part of the overall analysis 
since they are not randomized. Due to the non-randomized nature of the enrollment for these six 
patients, the inclusion of these patients in the overall analysis could confound and bias results of 
any randomized comparisons. Hence, these 6 patients will be analyzed and reported separately 
both for safety and for efficacy. However, toxicity data from all patients will be reviewed in the 
aggregate at the time of the interim and final analysis to evaluate overall patterns. 
The randomized trial is designed to evaluate the improvement in the objective response rate 
(ORR) of CYT107 + atezolizumab compared to atezolizumab alone in patients with 
advanced/unresectable bladder cancer who have progressive disease after a platinum-based 
chemotherapy regimen. An interim futility analysis will be conducted when 50% of planned 
sample size have their first disease assessment and survival information. An exploratory analysis 
will be conducted to evaluate the ORR after all patients have been followed up for 2 years.  
 Primary Objective 
The primary endpoint will be the ORR, defined by CR or PR as measured by RECIST 
v1.1.

106 
For patients with disease that progressed after at least one platinum-based treatment 
regimen, the ORR for atezolizumab monotherapy is 14.8%.  
The Cochran Mantel Haenszel test will be conducted to compare ORR in the 
experimental arm (atezolizumab + CYT107) to the ORR in the control arm (atezolizumab 
monotherapy). A one-sided significance level of 0.10 will be considered for the test. 
13.3 
Sample Size/Accrual Rate 
During the Safety Run-In phase, 6 patients will be assigned to the experimental arm 
(atezolizumab + CYT107) with staggered enrollment (refer to Section 5 for details). The AEs 
will be assessed by the Toxicity Evaluation Committee. If, at any time, 2 or more patients 
experience a protocol-defined DLT (refer to Section 5.2), further enrollment into the trial will be 
suspended. 
If the treatment combination of the experimental arm demonstrates an acceptable safety profile 
in the Safety Run-In (1 or fewer patient experiences a protocol-defined DLT), randomized 
enrollment into the trial will begin. 
A total of 54 patients will be enrolled in this study; 6 patients in the Safety Run-In and 48 
patients in the randomized portion of the study. The expected accrual is 4 patients per month 
total at approximately 8 CITN sites. A study with 48 randomly assigned patients (1:1 
randomization) will meet the following statistical parameters: Hnull = 14.8%; Halt = 45%; one-
sided alpha of 0.10; power 88%. 
The interim futility analysis will be conducted when 24 randomized patients have their first 
disease assessment and survival information. The futility analysis is based on an O’Brien-
Fleming boundary, and the futility boundary will be considered to be crossed when the 
difference of ORR in the experimental arm – ORR in the control arm is less than -0.0063. Under 
the null hypothesis, the probability of crossing the futility boundary is 48.2%.  
Safety Population: All patients who receive at least 1 dose of the investigational regimen will be 
considered evaluable for safety and included in the overall safety analysis. For the Safety Run-in 
phase, in the absence of a DLT, patients must complete the full 28-day DLT window period to be 
considered evaluable for DLTs. Patients who discontinue from the study before the completion 
of the full 28-day DLT window for reasons other than the occurrence of a DLT (e.g., withdrawal 
of consent, rapid tumor progression, death due to rapid tumor progression, AE that does not meet 
DLT criteria) will not be considered evaluable for DLTs and will be replaced. 
Efficacy Population: The efficacy analysis will be conducted on all randomized patients, based 
upon the intent-to-treat population.

The endpoints will include the evaluation of the effect of the investigation treatment 
combination on the immune-bias of the tumor microenvironment, based upon baseline 
and post-baseline tumor biopsy comparisons of: 
• 
Number, distribution, and phenotype of tumor-infiltrating cells 
• 
PD-L1 expression 
• 
Expression of Interferon γ (IFNγ) and associated proinflammatory gene expression in 
the tumor microenvironment 
Analyses may be also performed to explore the effect of the investigational treatment 
combination on the number and phenotype of tumor-specific T cells in the peripheral 
blood, investigate for evidence that the investigational treatment combination increases 
the exposure of bladder cancer-specific antigens (e.g., Cancer/Testis Antigens or 
neoantigens), and investigate changes in tumor microenvironment that correlate with 
response or provide information on potential actionable causes for lack of clinical benefit. 
The effect of CYT107 on the infiltrating T cells will be assessed using the paired baseline 
and post-baseline results of the patients. The patient’s baseline result will serve as the 
control for the comparison. Log-transformed values will be considered for the 
comparison of the number of infiltrating T cells.  
 
It was established that the CYT107 dose regimen can double the number of peripheral 
blood T cells. There had been no prior information on the effect of CYT107 on 
infiltrating T cells. Assuming the CYT107 dose regimen also similarly doubles the 
number of infiltrating T cells, standard error of the effect size in the log scale (i.e. 
log(post-baseline) – log(baseline)) being 1, and a two-sided alpha of 0.10, a sample size 
of 13 paired samples will have 80% power to detect any difference between baseline and 
post-baseline. 
 
13.6 
Reporting and Exclusions 
 Evaluation of Toxicity 
All patients will be evaluable for toxicity from the time of their first treatment with 
atezolizumab and/or CYT107. 
 Evaluation of Response 
All patients included in the study must be assessed for response to treatment, even if there 
are major protocol treatment deviations or if they are ineligible. Each patient will be 
assigned one of the following categories: (1) complete response, (2) partial response, 
(3) stable disease, (4) progressive disease, (5) early death from malignant disease, 
(6) early death from toxicity, (7) early death because of other cause, or (9) unknown (not 
assessable, insufficient data). [Note: By arbitrary convention, category 9 usually 
designates the “unknown” status of any type of data in a clinical database.] 
All of the patients who met the eligibility criteria (with the possible exception of those 
who received no study medication) should be included in the main analysis of the

109 
response rate. Patients in response categories 4-9 should be considered to have a 
treatment failure (disease progression). Thus, an incorrect treatment schedule or drug 
administration does not result in exclusion from the analysis of the response rate. Precise 
definitions for categories 4-9 will be protocol specific. 
All conclusions should be based on all eligible patients. Subanalyses may then be 
performed on the basis of a subset of patients, excluding those for whom major protocol 
deviations have been identified (early death due to other reasons, early discontinuation of 
treatment, major protocol violations, etc.). However, these subanalyses may not serve as 
the basis for drawing conclusions concerning treatment efficacy, and the reasons for 
excluding patients from the analysis should be clearly reported. The 95% confidence 
intervals should also be provided.

APPENDIX B 
CTEP MULTICENTER GUIDELINES 
If an institution wishes to collaborate with other participating institutions in performing a CTEP-
sponsored research protocol, then the guidelines below must be followed. 
Responsibility of the Protocol Chair 
• The Protocol Chair will be the single liaison with the CTEP Protocol and Information Office 
(PIO). The Protocol Chair is responsible for the coordination, development, submission, and 
approval of the protocol as well as its subsequent amendments. The protocol must not be 
rewritten or modified by anyone other than the Protocol Chair. There will be only one 
version of the protocol, and each participating institution will use that document. The 
Protocol Chair is responsible for assuring that all participating institutions are using the 
correct version of the protocol. 
• The Protocol Chair is responsible for the overall conduct of the study at all participating 
institutions and for monitoring its progress. All reporting requirements to CTEP are the 
responsibility of the Protocol Chair. 
• The Protocol Chair is responsible for the timely review of AE to ensure safety of the patients. 
• The Protocol Chair will be responsible for the review of and timely submission of data for 
study analysis. 
Responsibilities of the Coordinating Center 
• Each participating institution will have an appropriate assurance on file with the Office for 
Human Research Protection (OHRP), NIH. The Coordinating Center is responsible for 
assuring that each participating institution has an OHRP assurance and must maintain copies 
of IRB approvals from each participating site. 
• Before the activation of the protocol at each participating institution, an OHRP form 310 
(documentation of IRB approval) must be submitted to the CTEP PIO. 
• The Coordinating Center is responsible for central patient registration. The Coordinating 
Center is responsible for ensuring that IRB approval has been obtained at each participating 
site before the first patient registration from that site. 
• The Coordinating Center is responsible for the preparation of all submitted data for review by 
the Protocol Chair. 
• The Coordinating Center will maintain documentation of AE reports. There are 2 options for 
AE reporting: (1) participating institutions may report directly to CTEP with a copy to the 
Coordinating Center, or (2) participating institutions report to the Coordinating Center who 
in turn report to CTEP. The Coordinating Center will submit AE reports to the Protocol Chair 
for timely review. 
• Audits may be accomplished in one of 2 ways: (1) source documents and research records for 
selected patients are brought from participating sites to the Coordinating Center for audit, or 
(2) selected patient records may be audited on-site at participating sites. If the NCI chooses to 
have an audit at the Coordinating Center, then the Coordinating Center is responsible for 
having all source documents, research records, all IRB approval documents, NCI Drug 
Accountability Record forms, patient registration lists, response assessments scans, x-rays, 
etc., available for the audit.

Inclusion of Multicenter Guidelines in the Protocol 
• The protocol must include the following minimum information: 
 The title page must include the name and address of each participating institution and the 
name, telephone number, and email address of the responsible investigator at each 
participating institution. 
 The Coordinating Center must be designated on the title page. 
 Central registration of patients is required. The procedures for registration must be stated 
in the protocol. 
 Data collection forms should be of a common format. Sample forms should be submitted 
with the protocol. The frequency and timing of data submission forms to the 
Coordinating Center should be stated. 
 Describe how AEs will be reported from the participating institutions, either directly to 
CTEP or through the Coordinating Center. 
 Describe how Safety Reports and Action Letters from CTEP will be distributed to 
participating institutions. 
Agent Ordering 
• Except in very unusual circumstances, each participating institution will order DCTD-
supplied investigational agents directly from CTEP. Investigational agents may be ordered by 
a participating site only after the initial IRB approval for the site has been forwarded by the 
Coordinating Center to the CTEP PIO.

APPENDIX C 
IMMUNE-RELATED RESPONSE CRITERIA 
Introduction 
Increasing clinical experience indicates that traditional response criteria (e.g., Response 
Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 [RECIST v1.1][Eisenhauer 2009] and World 
Health Organization [WHO]) may not be sufficient to fully characterize activity in the new era of 
target therapies and/or biologics. In studies with cytokines, cancer vaccines, and monoclonal 
antibodies, CR, PR, or SD has been shown to occur after an increase in tumor burden as 
characterized by progressive disease by traditional response criteria. Therefore, conventional 
response criteria may not adequately assess the activity of immunotherapeutic agents because 
progressive disease (by initial radiographic evaluation) does not necessarily reflect therapeutic 
failure. Long term effect on the target disease must also be captured. The immune-related 
response criteria (irRC) are criteria that attempt to do that by enhancing characterization of new 
response patterns that have been observed with immunotherapeutic agents (i.e., ipilimumab) 
[Wolchok 2009]. (Note: The irRC only index and measurable new lesions are taken into 
account.) 
Glossary 
Term 
Definition 
SPD 
sum of the products of the 2 largest perpendicular diameters 
Tumor burden 
SPDindex lesions + SPDnew, measurable lesions 
Nadir 
minimally recorded tumor burden 
irCR 
immune-related complete response 
irPD 
immune-related progressive disease 
irPR 
immune-related partial response 
irSD 
immune-related stable disease 
irBOR 
immune-related best overall response 
 
Baseline Assessment Using irRC 
Step 1. Identify the index lesions (5 lesions per organ, up to 10 visceral lesions and 5 cutaneous 
lesions). 
Step 2. Calculate the SPD of all of these index lesions: 
× (Second largest diameter of lesion i)" 
SPD = 
Post-Baseline Assessments Using irRC 
Step 1. Calculate the SPD of the index lesions. 
Step 2. Identify new, measurable lesions (≥5 × 5 mm; up to 5 new lesions per organ: 5 new 
cutaneous lesions and 10 visceral lesions). 
Step 3. Calculate the SPD of the new, measurable lesions.

Step 4. Calculate the tumor burden: 
Tumor burden = SPDindex lesions + SPDnew, measurable lesions 
Step 5. Calculate the change in tumor burden relative to baseline and the change in tumor burden 
relative to nadir. 
Step 6. Derive the overall response using the table below. 
Overall Response 
Criterion 
irCR 
Complete disappearance of all lesions (whether measurable or not, and no new 
lesions) confirmed by a repeat, consecutive assessment ≥4 weeks from the date 
first documented 
irPR 
Decrease in tumor burden ≥50% relative to baseline confirmed by a consecutive 
assessment ≥4 weeks from the date first documented 
irSD 
Criteria for irCR, irPR, and irPD are not met; does not require confirmation 
irPD 
Increase in tumor burden ≥25% relative to nadir confirmed by a consecutive 
assessment ≥4 weeks from the date first documented 
irCR = immune-related complete response; irPD = immune-related progressive disease; irPR = 
immune-related partial response; irSD = immune-related stable disease. 
Determination of irBOR 
Once a patient has completed all tumor assessments, his/her irBOR may be determined: 
Condition 
irBOR 
At least one irCR 
irCR 
At least one irPR and no irCR 
irPR 
At least one irSD and no irCR and no irPR 
irSD 
At least one irPD and no irCR, no irPR, and no irSD 
irPD 
irBOR = immune-related best overall response; irCR = immune-related complete response; 
irPD = immune-related progressive disease; irPR = immune-related partial response; 
irSD = immune-related stable disease.
