Conditions: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 287
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This multicenter, open-label, randomized study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Atezolizumab compared with docetaxel in participants with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer after platinum failure. Participants will be randomized to receive either Atezolizumab 1200 milligram (mg) intravenously every 3 weeks or docetaxel 75 milligram per meter square (mg/m\^2) intravenously every 3 weeks. Treatment with Atezolizumab may be continued as long as participants are experiencing clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, i.e., in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Participants received docetaxel 75 milligram per meter square (mg/m\^2) administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or death. arm 2: Participants were administered atezolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle at a fixed dose of 1200 mg. Atezolizumab treatment were to continued as long as participants were experiencing clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator.

Interventions: intervention 1: Docetaxel intervention 2: Atezolizumab
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Participants received starting dose of 75 mg/m\^2 every three week (q3w) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death. Dose modifications were according to the locally approved label. Participants randomized to receive docetaxel had to be premedicated with corticosteroids according to local practice. intervention 2: Participants received atezolizumab of 1200 mg (equivalent to an average body weight-based dose of 15 milligram per kilogram \[mg/kg\]) which was administered by IV infusion q3w on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle. Participants were allowed to continue treatment beyond progression per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 if they were experiencing clinical benefit per investigator, did not have a decline in performance status, did not have signs or symptoms of unequivocal progression, did not have tumor progression at critical sites, and signed an informed consent signature page acknowledging deferment any standard treatment options that may exist in favor of continuing atezolizumab.
