Atezolizumab alone or in combination did not demonstrate a favorable risk-benefit profile in myelodysplastic syndrome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present primary results from the phase 1b GO29754 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of atezolizumab, a programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitor, alone and in combination with azacitidine, a hypomethylating agent (HMA), in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) or HMA-naïve myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients with R/R MDS received atezolizumab for 12 months (cohort A) or atezolizumab plus azacitidine for 6 cycles followed by atezolizumab as maintenance for 8 cycles (cohort B). Patients with HMA-naïve MDS received atezolizumab plus azacitidine until loss of clinical benefit (cohort C). Safety, activity, and exploratory end points were investigated. Forty-six patients were enrolled and received treatment (cohort A, n = 11; cohort B, n = 14; cohort C, n = 21). All patients experienced ≥1 adverse event (AE) on study, and all patients discontinued atezolizumab. In cohort A, 7 patients (63.6%) died, and no patients responded. In cohort B, 8 patients (57.1%) discontinued azacitidine, 11 (78.6%) died, and 2 (14.3%) responded. In cohort C, all 21 patients discontinued azacitidine, 13 died (61.9%), and 13 (61.9%) responded. The study was terminated by the sponsor before completion of recruitment because of the unexpected high early death rate in cohort C (6 [46.2%] of 13 deaths were due to AEs and occurred within the first 4 treatment cycles.). The high death rate and poor efficacy observed in this study do not support a favorable risk-benefit profile for atezolizumab as a single agent or in combination with azacitidine in R/R or HMA-naïve MDS. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02508870.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
