– SKYSCRAPER-06 evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy did not meet the primary endpoints of progression-free survival at primary analysis and overall survival at first interim analysis –
– The combination of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy showed reduced efficacy compared to the comparator arm –
– Safety was consistent with previous studies, however we intend to halt the trial due to reduced efficacy compared to the comparator arm –
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA I July 04, 2024 I Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY),announced today that the Phase II/III SKYSCRAPER-06 study, evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) and chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy as an initial (first-line) treatment for people with previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nSq NSCLC), did not meet its primary endpoints of progression-free survival (PFS) at its primary analysis with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.27 [95% CI: 1.02,1.57] and overall survival (OS) at its first interim analysis with a HR of 1.33 [95% CI: 1.02, 1.73], which was immature. The combination of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy showed reduced efficacy in both PFS and OS compared to the comparator arm in the intent-to-treat population, which includes Phase II and Phase III cohorts. The overall safety profile remains consistent with the safety profile previously observed for the combination of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy, and no new or unexpected findings were identified. Based on these results, patients and investigators will be unblinded and we intend to halt the study. A communication will be sent to the investigators and results will be shared with health authorities and subsequently presented at an upcoming medical meeting.
“These results are disappointing as it was our hope that this combination might yield improved outcomes for people living with metastatic non-squamous lung cancer”

“These results are disappointing as it was our hope that this combination might yield improved outcomes for people living with metastatic non-squamous lung cancer,” said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. “We are thankful to all of the patients and healthcare professionals involved in the study, and we will leverage the learnings to inform our scientific understanding of the anti-TIGIT pathway and new avenues in cancer research.”
Ongoing Phase III studies are investigating treatment settings and indications distinct from SKYSCRAPER-06. Based on today’s results, we will evaluate any relevant changes needed to the ongoing tiragolumab program.
About SKYSCRAPER-06 study
SKYSCRAPER-06 is a global Phase II/III, randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blinded study evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) and chemotherapy as an initial (first-line) treatment versus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in 542 people with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Primary endpoints are overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
About tiragolumab
Tiragolumab is an investigational novel immune checkpoint inhibitor with an intact Fc region. Tiragolumab selectively binds to TIGIT, a novel inhibitory immune checkpoint which suppresses the immune response to cancer. Based on preclinical research, tiragolumab is thought to work as an immune amplifier with other cancer immunotherapies such as Tecentriq® (atezolizumab). The TIGIT pathway is distinct but complementary to the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway. Dual blockade with tiragolumab and Tecentriq may help overcome immune suppression and restore the immune response.
About Tecentriq® (atezolizumab)
Tecentriq is a monoclonal antibody designed to bind with a protein called PD-L1. Tecentriq is designed to bind to PD-L1 expressed on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, blocking its interactions with both PD-1 and B7.1 receptors. By inhibiting PD-L1, Tecentriq may enable the re-activation of T cells. Tecentriq may also affect normal cells.
Tecentriq U.S. Indications
Tecentriq is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with:
Adults with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- Tecentriq may be used alone as a treatment for their lung cancer:
- to help prevent their lung cancer from coming back after their tumor(s) has been removed by surgery and they have received platinum-based chemotherapy, and
- they have stage 2 to 3A NSCLC (patients should talk to their healthcare provider about what these stages mean), and
- their cancer tests positive for “PD-L1.”
- Tecentriq may be used alone as their first treatment when their lung cancer:
- has spread or grown, and
- their cancer tests positive for “high PD-L1,” and
- their tumor does not have an abnormal “EGFR” or “ALK” gene.
- Tecentriq may be used with the medicines bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin as their first treatment when their lung cancer:
- has spread or grown, and
- is a type called “non-squamous NSCLC,” and
- their tumor does not have an abnormal “EGFR” or “ALK” gene.
- Tecentriq may be used with the medicines paclitaxel protein-bound and carboplatin as their first treatment when their lung cancer:
- has spread or grown, and
- is a type called “non-squamous NSCLC,” and
- their tumor does not have an abnormal “EGFR” or “ALK” gene.
- Tecentriq may be used alone when their lung cancer:
- has spread or grown, and
- if they have tried chemotherapy that contains platinum, and it did not work or is no longer working.
- if their tumor has an abnormal “EGFR” or “ALK” gene, they should have also tried an FDA-approved therapy for tumors with these abnormal genes, and it did not work or is no longer working.
