A Study of Atezolizumab in Combination With Carboplatin Plus (+) Nab-Paclitaxel Compared With Carboplatin+Nab-Paclitaxel in Participants With Stage IV Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Condition: Carcinoma, Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung
MeSH terms: Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung
Intervention: Atezolizumab (MPDL3280A), an engineered anti-PD-L1 antibody; Carboplatin; Nab-Paclitaxel; Pemetrexed
Intervention description: Atezolizumab was administered as IV infusion at a dose of 1200 milligrams (mg) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Atezolizumab was administered to participants who were randomized to "Arm A (Atezolizumab + Nab-Paclitaxel + Carboplatin)" and to participants in "Arm B (Nab-Paclitaxel + Carboplatin)" who cross over at progression.; Carboplatin was administered at area under the concentration curve (AUC) 6 milligrams per milliliter per minute (mg/mL/min) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.; Nab-paclitaxel was administered as IV infusion at a dose of 100 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 21-day cycle.; Switch maintenance to pemetrexed can be administered within 6 weeks of Day 1 of the last induction cycle.

Summary:

      This randomized Phase III, multicenter, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and
      efficacy of atezolizumab (an engineered anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1] antibody) in
      combination with carboplatin+nab-paclitaxel compared with treatment with
      carboplatin+nab-paclitaxel in chemotherapy-naive participants with Stage IV non-squamous
      NSCLC. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to Arm A
      (Atezolizumab+Nab-Paclitaxel+Carboplatin) or Arm B (Nab-Paclitaxel+Carboplatin).
