a study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of ro6870810 and atezolizumab (pd-l1 antibody) in participants with advanced ovarian cancer or triple negative breast cancer

Conditions: Advanced Ovarian Cancer; Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Summary: this is phase ib, open label, non-randomized study designed to investigate the dose, safety, pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor activity of ro6870810 in combination with a fixed dose of atezolizumab. the study consists of four groups, group 1 (dose escalation group) and group 2 (sequential dose group), and groups 3 and 4 (expansion groups), which will further evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and preliminary clinical activity in patients with triple negaive breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer.
