A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of lung cancer known as Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The trial is investigating the use of a combination of treatments, including two medications called Tiragolumab and Atezolizumab, along with chemotherapy. Tiragolumab is identified by the code name RO7092284. These medications are given as an infusion, which means they are delivered directly into the bloodstream through a vein.
The purpose of the study is to explore how effective and feasible it is to use these treatments together before and after surgery in patients with NSCLC. The study is designed to follow patients over time to see how well the treatments work in reducing the cancer. Participants will receive the treatments over a period of time, and their progress will be monitored through regular hospital visits and follow-up examinations.
This trial is non-randomized, meaning all participants will receive the same treatment, and it is open-label, so both the researchers and participants know what treatment is being given. The study aims to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of combining these treatments for NSCLC, potentially improving outcomes for patients undergoing surgery for this type of lung cancer.
The trial runs in 5 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

is a type of medication known as an immune checkpoint inhibitor. It works by helping your immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. In this trial, tiragolumab is used to enhance the body's natural defenses against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by blocking a specific protein that can prevent the immune system from doing its job.
is another immune checkpoint inhibitor used in this trial. It helps the immune system fight cancer by blocking a protein that can stop immune cells from attacking cancer cells. By doing this, atezolizumab aims to boost the immune response against NSCLC, making it harder for the cancer to grow and spread.
refers to a group of drugs that are used to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells. In this trial, chemotherapy is combined with tiragolumab and atezolizumab to provide a comprehensive approach to treating NSCLC. Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, which include cancer cells, and is used to shrink tumors and reduce the risk of cancer spreading before and after surgery.
Tiragolumab is administered intravenously, meaning it is given directly into a vein through an injection. It is currently being studied in clinical trials for its potential use in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The main therapeutic indication for tiragolumab is to enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells. At the molecular level, tiragolumab works by blocking a protein called TIGIT, which can suppress the immune response against cancer. It is classified as an immune checkpoint inhibitor, a type of drug that helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively.
Atezolizumab is also administered intravenously, delivered directly into the bloodstream through an injection. It is an established medication in the treatment of various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and is well-documented in medical literature. The primary therapeutic use of atezolizumab is to boost the immune system's response to cancer. It functions by inhibiting the PD-L1 protein, which can prevent the immune system from attacking cancer cells. Atezolizumab is classified as an immune checkpoint inhibitor, helping the body's natural defenses to better identify and destroy cancer cells.
