The phase III, randomized, double-blinded SKYSCRAPER-01 trial, which evaluates the efficacy of the combination of tiragolumab and atezolizumab in NSCLC patients whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression, failed to show a significant PFS improvement in the combination arm compared with placebo + atezolizumab, although it showed "a numerical improvement" in both endpoints of PFS and overall survival (OS). In August 2023, an internal PowerPoint presentation detailing OS data of the second analysis was mistakenly made public on the Internet and showed a numerical improvement in terms of OS [estimated overall survival after a median follow-up of 15,5 months: 22,9 months in tiragolumab + atezolizumab arm versus 16,7 months in placebo + atezolizumab arm, HR: 0,81 (95% CI: 0,63, 1,03)]. No new safety signals were identified and the trial remains blinded to investigators and patients.
In the Skyscraper-04 trial assessing the efficacy and safety of tiragolumab in patients who have recurrent, PD-L1 positive cervical cancer, the combination of tiragolumab and atezolizumab, although improved response rate in both PD-L1 low and PD-L1 high subgroups, only did so marginally and non-significantly.
The combination of tiragolumab, atezolizumab, and platinum-containing chemotherapy improved PFS and OS compared with comparator arms in esophageal cancer patients in the phase II MORPHEUS-EC trial and the phase III SKYSCRAPER-08 trial.
The Skyscraper-06 trial was ended in July 2024 in metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer as tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy did not meet the primary endpoints of progression-free survival (PFS) at primary analysis and overall survival (OS) at the first interim analysis. The OS hazard ratio was 1.33 at the first interim analysis, indicating that patients are living longer on Keytruda than tiragolumab.
