Abstract Background: Tiragolumab (tira) + atezolizumab (atezo) has shown encouraging survival outcomes in pts with metastatic NSCLC, primarily in pts with PD-L1-high tumors (tumor proportion score [TPS] ≥50%). SKYSCRAPER-01 (NCT04294810) is a phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial investigating the efficacy and safety of first-line tira + atezo in pts with PD-L1-high NSCLC. Methods: Eligible pts (previously untreated; PD-L1-high, locally advanced unresectable/metastatic NSCLC; EGFR/ALK wildtype) were randomized 1:1 to receive tira 600 mg IV + atezo 1200 mg IV or pbo + atezo 1200 mg IV every 3 weeks until disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoints: investigator-assessed progression-free survival (INV-PFS) and overall survival (OS) in the primary analysis set (PAS; TPS ≥50%; 22C3 assay). Secondary endpoints: INV-objective response rate (INV-ORR) and INV-duration of response (INV-DOR) in the PAS; OS in the secondary analysis set (SAS; tumor cell [TC] ≥50%; SP263 assay). Results: A total of 534 pts were randomized (tira + atezo, n=266; pbo + atezo, n=268). Pt characteristics were balanced between treatment arms. At the final PFS analysis (data cut-off 12 Mar 2022; median follow-up 9.9 months), median INV-PFS was 7.0 months with tira + atezo and 5.6 months with pbo + atezo (HR 0.78; 95% CI 0.63, 0.97; p=0.02; PAS). At the final OS analysis (data cut-off 24 Sep 2024; median follow-up 17.9 months), median OS was 23.1 months with tira + atezo and 16.9 months with pbo + atezo (HR 0.87; 95% CI 0.71, 1.08; p=0.22; PAS; Table). Tira + atezo demonstrated an acceptable safety profile, consistent with previous observations.

PFS, ORR and DOR were assessed by the investigator. † Primary endpoints. ‡ All randomized patients who received ≥1 dose of study treatment. AE, adverse event; atezo, atezolizumab; AESIs, adverse events of special interest; CI, confidence interval; DOR, duration of response; HR, hazard ratio; ORR, objective response rate; OS, overall survival; PAS, primary analysis set; pbo, placebo; PFS, progression-free survival; SAS, secondary analysis set; TC, tumor cell; tira, tiragolumab; TPS, tumor proportion score. Conclusion: The primary endpoints of INV-PFS and OS were not met in the SKYSCRAPER-01 study. Numerical improvements in both PFS and OS with tira + atezo versus pbo + atezo suggest potential antitumor activity of TIGIT targeting in NSCLC.
