A Study of Vanucizumab (RO5520985) Alone or in Combination With Atezolizumab in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

An Open-label, Multi-center, Dose Escalation Phase I Study of Single Agent RO5520985 (Vanucizumab), and in Combination With Atezolizumab, Administered as an Intravenous Infusion in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This multi-center, open-label study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of vanucizumab as a single agent or in combination with atezolizumab in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Cohorts of participants will receive escalating doses of vanucizumab, fixed dose of vanucizumab (MTD and/or recommended phase two dose [RP2D]), and fixed dose of vanucizumab in combination with atezolizumab, intravenously every 2 weeks.
