(non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an
interventional study
- Any previous treatment with a PD1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, including atezolizumab,
anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, or anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4)
antibody (including ipilimumab or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting
T-cell co-stimulation or checkpoint pathways)

interferon and interleukin 2 [IL-2]) within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives of the drug
(whichever is longer) prior to initiation of study treatment
- Receipt of the last dose of anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine
therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumor embolization, monoclonal
antibodies, other investigational agent) 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug
for patients who have received prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) [e.g.,
erlotinib, gefitinib and crizotinib] and within 6 weeks for nitrosourea or mitomycin
C. (If sufficient wash-out time has not occurred due to the schedule or
pharmacokinetics (PK) properties of an agent, a longer wash-out period may be
required.)
- Patients with corrected QT (QTc) interval > 470 msec during screening
- Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days (use 28 days if
combining atezolizumab with a novel agent) before the first dose of atezolizumab, with
the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids
at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an
equivalent corticosteroid. The following are exceptions to this criterion:
- Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra
articular injection)
- Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of
prednisone or its equivalent

premedication)

mg/dL or corrected serum calcium ULN), uncontrolled tumor-related pain, uncontrolled
hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease,
serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric
illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement,
substantially increase risk of incurring adverse events (AEs) or compromise the
ability of the patient to give written informed consent

surface antigen [HBsAg] result), hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus
(positive human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] 1/2 antibodies). Patients with a past or
resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody
