Sponsor: Duke University

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Age ≥ 18 years old
Pathologically confirmed GBM, IDHwt
Clinical or radiologic evidence of first or second recurrence following radiation and TMZ. Note: A diagnostic biopsy is required prior to the commencement of the study drug if there is uncertainty about the MRI findings being true progression versus pseudoprogression.
Tissue available from initial diagnosis of primary GBM
Adequate organ function:
Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl
Platelet count ≥ 75,000/µl
Neutrophil count ≥ 1000 cells/mm3
Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula)
Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (Exception: Participant has known or suspected Gilbert's Syndrome for which additional lab testing of direct and/or indirect bilirubin supports this diagnosis. In these instances, a total bilirubin of ≤ 3.0 x ULN is acceptable.)
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN
Serum albumin ≥ 25 g/L (2.5 g/dL)
Prothrombin and Partial Thromboplastin Times ≤ 1.2 x ULN
Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 70%
Patient or partner(s) meets one of the following criteria:
Non-childbearing potential (i.e., not sexually active, physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, including any female who is post-menopausal or surgically sterile, or any male who has had a vasectomy). Surgically sterile females are defined as those with a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation. Postmenopausal for purposes of this study is defined as 1 year without menses.; or
Childbearing potential and agrees to use one of the following methods of birth control: approved hormonal contraceptives (e.g., birth control pills, patches, implants, or infusions), an intrauterine device, or a barrier method of contraception (e.g., a condom or diaphragm) used with spermicide.
A signed informed consent form approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) will be required for patient enrollment into the study. Patients must be able to read and understand the informed consent document and must sign the informed consent indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study.
Negative HIV test at screening, with the following exception: patients with a positive HIV test at screening are eligible provided they are stable on anti-retroviral therapy, have a CD4 count \> 200/µL, and have an undetectable viral load
Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening. Negative total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) test at screening, or positive total HBcAb test followed by a negative hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA test at screening Note: The HBV DNA test will be performed only for patients who have a negative HBsAg test and a positive total HBcAb test.
Negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test at screening, or positive HCV antibody test followed by a negative HCV RNA test at screening Note: The HCV RNA test must be performed for patients who have a positive HCV antibody test.

Exclusion Criteria

Pregnancy or breastfeeding or intention of becoming pregnant during study treatment or within 5 months of final dose of atezolizumab therapy a) For women of childbearing potential: Agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods as defined below: i) Women must remain abstinent or use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period and for 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab. Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not adequate methods of contraception. If required per local guidelines or regulations, locally recognized adequate methods of contraception and information about the reliability of abstinence will be described in the local Informed Consent Form. ii) A woman is of childbearing potential if she is post-menarchal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes and/or uterus) or another cause as determined by the investigator (e.g., Müllerian agenesis). Per this definition, a woman with a tubal ligation is of childbearing potential. The definition of childbearing potential may be adapted for alignment with local guidelines or requirements. b) For men with pregnant female partners and/or with female partners of childbearing potential: Agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a condom and refrain from donating sperm. i) With a female partner of childbearing potential or pregnant female partner, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period for 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab to avoid exposing the embryo. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not adequate methods of preventing drug exposure. If required per local guidelines or regulations, information about the reliability of abstinence will be described in the local Informed Consent Form.
