Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (RHHBY), on Wednesday said that phase III SKYSCRAPER-01 study in PD-L1-High Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer did not meet its co-primary endpoint of progression-free survival.
Roche is testing the investigational anti-TIGIT immunotherapy tiragolumab plus Tecentriq (atezolizumab) versus Tecentriq alone as an initial treatment for people with PD-L1-high locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
The company noted that the other co-primary endpoint of overall survival was immature, and the study will continue until the next planned analysis.
