About 20% of newly diagnosed cancers in the United States are considered to be rare; that is, they occur in less than 6 out of 100,000 people. People with rare cancers have fewer treatment options and lower survival rates than people with more common cancers.
Objective:
To test 2 drugs (atezolizumab and tiragolumab) in people with advanced rare cancers.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 years and older with advanced rare solid tumors that have not responded to treatment or for which no treatment exists.
Design:
Participants will have a physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and tests of their heart function. They will answer questions about their daily activities. Their tumors will be measured using imaging scans. They will have a biopsy: A small sample of tissue will be removed from the tumor.
Both study drugs are administered through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm (IV infusion). Infusion of each drug takes about 1 hour. Participants will be monitored 1 to 2 hours after each infusion.
Participants will receive the study drugs on the first day of each treatment cycle. Each cycle lasts 21 days. They will have blood and urine tests at each treatment visit.
Participants may remain in the study as long as the drugs are benefitting them.
A tumor biopsy will be required at the start of cycle 3. Imaging scans will be repeated every 2 cycles starting with cycle 4.
Participants will be monitored for 30 days after their last treatment.

INCLUSION CRITERIA: -Patients must have histologically confirmed rare solid tumors that have progressed on standard therapy or for whom there is no standard of care therapy. Other rare tumor types may be acceptable at the discretion of the PI. --Patients must not be eligible for a higher priority study, that would be feasible for them to enroll in, such as a disease specific study of phase 2 or higher or a randomized study. Specifically, patients who are eligible for the PEP-CTN pediatric trial of atezolizumab and tiragolumab in children, adolescents, and young adults with SMARCB1- or SMARCA4-deficient tumors should be excluded. -Patients must have measurable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1, with at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as >=20 mm (>=2 cm) by chest x-ray or as >=10 mm (>=1 cm) with CT scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam). -Patients must have a tumor site amenable to biopsy. -Age >=18 years. Because biopsies are mandatory on this trial, patients <18 years of age are excluded. -ECOG performance status <=2 (Karnofsky >=60%). -Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below: --absolute neutrophil count >=1,500/mcL --platelets >=100,000/mcL --INR or aPTT* <=1.5 institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) --total bilirubin 1.5 x institutional ULN (however, patients with known Gilbert disease who have serum bilirubin level of up to 3 mg/dl may be enrolled) --AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) <=2.5 (SqrRoot) institutional ULN (AST and/or ALT <=5 <= ULN for patients with liver involvement) --creatinine <=1.5 X institutional ULN OR --creatinine clearance levels >= 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 are permitted as the study agents are not secreted by the kidney * Patients who receive therapeutic anticoagulation therapy should be on a stable dose. -Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial. For these patients, an HIV viral load test must be completed within 28 days prior to enrollment -For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated. -Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load. -Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression for more than >=1 month after treatment of the brain metastases. -Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease are eligible if the treating physician determines that immediate CNS specific treatment is not required and is unlikely to be required during the first cycle of therapy. -Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. - Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better. -Willingness to provide biopsy samples for research purposes. -Administration of atezolizumab and tiragolumab may have an adverse effect on pregnancy and poses a risk to the human fetus, including embryo-lethality.
