Summary:

      This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the
      efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab given in combination with cabozantinib

      EGFR mutation or ALK translocation, who have progressed following treatment with
      platinum-containing chemotherapy and anti-PD-L1/PD-1 antibody, administered concurrently or
      sequentially.
