Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab when given in combination with bevacizumab, investigator's choice of either paclitaxel or pemetrexed, and carboplatin compared with placebo given in combination with bevacizumab, paclitaxel or pemetrexed, and carboplatin in patients with chemotherapy-naive, Stage IV non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The study will be conducted in two phases: Induction Phase and Maintenance Phase.

• Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation

• Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the patient at high risk from treatment complications

• Treatment with a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipation of need for such a vaccine during atezolizumab treatment or within 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab

• Current treatment with anti-viral therapy for HBV

• Treatment with any approved anti-cancer therapy or investigational therapy within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment, except for treatment with TKI that should be discontinued for at least 8 days or for approximately 5 x half-life, whichever is the longer, before the first dose of study treatment

• Prior treatment with CD137 agonists or immune checkpoint blockade therapies, including anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, and anti-PD-L1 therapeutic antibodies

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding, or intention of becoming pregnant during study treatment or within 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab or 6 months after the final dose of bevacizumab, carboplatin, pemetrexed, and paclitaxel
