Dose-escalation Study of Ultra-high Dose Ablative Radiosurgery With Immunotherapy for Bulky Metastatic Cancer Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cytoreduction of bulky metastatic disease using ultra high dose SBRT in combination with immunotherapy is tolerable and feasible In patients who have exhausted SoC treatment options.

Patients that provide informed consent will undergo a 30-day screening period to determine eligibility for the trial. If eligible, patients will begin treatment on SBRT (delivered to metastases over 3-5 fractions within 1-2 weeks) with concurrent and adjuvant atezolizumab (1680 mg on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle) immunotherapy regimen for up to one year.

* Males and females age ≥ 18 years
* Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 Participants must have at least two radiographically identifiable lesions measurable by RECIST v1.1 criteria and one of those lesions must be ≥65 cc. NOTE: 'cc' equals (width x length x height)/2 to provide rough approximation. For example, a 5.1 x 5.1 x 5.1 cm tumor would be 66.3 cc and appropriate for trial enrollment

* At least 1st line (1L) systemic therapy or immunotherapy must have failed for participants and standard of care therapy options must also be exhausted. Standard of care options that have been discontinued for reasons other than disease progression are eligible. NOTE: Participants who are off systemic therapy who are being monitored with surveillance imaging, who then develop disease progression and are without standard of care therapy options are eligible for enrollment.
* At least one lesion (and up to a maximum of four lesions) must be ≥65 cc (calculated using tumor length x width x height to closest approximation)
* Prior RT is permitted if the lesion to be treated and surrounding region (no appreciable dosimetric overlap, assessed on case-by-case basis as needed) with ultra-high dose SBRT was not previously treated

  12. Negative HIV test at screening, with the following exception: Participants with a positive HIV test at screening are eligible provided they are stable on anti-retroviral therapy, have a CD4 count ≥ 200/µL, and have an undetectable viral load. \*\*\* NOTE: A participant may be eligible if test is positive and will be left to the investigator to determine appropriateness for trial enrollment if medically stable and without signs of active, uncontrolled disease. Prior to formal enrollment, please contact protocol study PI to review.
  13. Negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test at screening, or positive HCV antibody test followed by a negative HCV RNA test at screening. The HCV RNA test must be performed for participants who have a positive HCV antibody test.\*\*\* NOTE: A participant may be eligible if test is positive and will be left to the investigator to determine appropriateness for trial enrollment if medically stable and without signs of active, uncontrolled disease. Prior to formal enrollment, please contact protocol study PI to review.
  14. Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) test at screening. Negative total hepatitis B core antibody (HbcAb) test at screening, or positive total HbcAb test followed by a negative hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA test at screening. The HBV DNA test will be performed only for participants who have a negative HbsAg test and a positive total HbcAb test. \*\*\* NOTE: A participant may be eligible if test is positive and will be left to the investigator to determine appropriateness for trial enrollment if medically stable and without signs of active, uncontrolled disease. Prior to formal enrollment, please contact protocol study PI to review.
  15. Women of child-bearing potential and men with partners of child-bearing potential must agree to practice sexual abstinence or to use the forms of contraception listed in Child-Bearing Potential/Pregnancy section and below for the duration of study participation and for 180 DAYS/6 MONTHS following completion of therapy. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period.

      1. A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarchal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes and/or uterus) or another cause as determined by the investigator (e.g., Müllerian agenesis). Per this definition, a woman with a tubal ligation is considered to be of childbearing potential. The definition of childbearing potential may be adapted for alignment with local guidelines or requirements.
      2. Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices.
      3. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not adequate methods of contraception. If required per local guidelines or regulations, locally recognized adequate methods of contraception and information about the reliability of abstinence will be described in the local Informed Consent Form.
