Swiss pharma giant Roche (ROG: SIX) has presented Phase II data showing that Tecentriq (atezolizumab) shrank tumors in people with previously untreated advanced bladder cancer.

The data shows that tumors shrank in 24% of people with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) who have not received a prior treatment (first-line) and who were ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Of those people who responded, 75% continued to respond to treatment, and the median duration of response had not been reached at the time of analysis.
