antigen receptor [CAR]-engineered T cells)
- Prior ACT therapy should be completed, and residual disease documented by either
radiographic progression or active disease observed on biopsy (i.e. hematologic or
solid tumor malignancy must be deemed active by the treating investigator); the
investigator may deem that the disease is active on the basis of a pre-treatment
biopsy demonstrating viable tumor cells or clinical progression of disease (i.e.
RECIST progression is not required)
- Solid tumor patients must have measurable disease, defined as 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) with
conventional techniques or as >= 15 mm (>= 1.5 cm) with spiral computed tomography
(CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or calipers by clinical exam
- Leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients must have measurable disease
according to the revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma

vitiligo and endocrine abnormalities requiring replacement therapy which may be grade
2
- No prior other anti-cancer therapy, including ACT, for 28 days prior to study
administration of atezolizumab
- Age >= 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on
the use of atezolizumab in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this
study, but will be eligible for future pediatric trials

- Administration of atezolizumab may have an adverse effect on pregnancy and poses a
risk to the human fetus, including embryo-lethality; women of child-bearing potential
and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth
control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation,
and for 5 months (150 days) after the last dose of study agent; should a woman become
pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this
study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
