Study Summary

This trial studies atezolizumab in treating patients with chondrosarcoma or clear cell sarcoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and teens aged 2-17 with clear cell sarcoma or advanced chondrosarcoma that's either new, can't be surgically removed, or has spread. They should have a life expectancy over 3 months, certain blood counts within range, measurable disease, and no major health issues that could affect the trial. They must not have had recent vaccines or antibiotics and cannot be pregnant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Atezolizumab's effectiveness against specific sarcomas in young patients. It involves collecting biospecimens and using CT scans to monitor the cancer's response to this immunotherapy drug designed to boost the body’s immune system in fighting cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Atezolizumab may cause allergic reactions related to infusion, lung inflammation (like pneumonitis), liver problems, infections due to weakened immunity, potential hormonal gland issues leading to hormone imbalances, fatigue, nausea and possibly other immune-related side effects.
