Previously Treated Metastatic NSCLC
The safety of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in OAK, a multicenter, international, randomized, open-label trial in patients with metastatic NSCLC who progressed during or following a platinum-containing regimen, regardless of PD-L1 expression [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. A total of 609 patients received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity, radiographic progression, or clinical progression or docetaxel (n=578) 75 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. The study excluded patients with active or prior autoimmune disease or with medical conditions that required systemic corticosteroids. The median duration of exposure was 3.4 months (0 to 26 months) in TECENTRIQ-treated patients and 2.1 months (0 to 23 months) in docetaxel-treated patients.
The study population characteristics were: median age of 63 years (25 to 85 years), 46% age 65 years or older, 62% male, 71% White, 20% Asian, 68% former smoker, 16% current smoker, and 63% had ECOG performance status of 1.
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.6% of patients; these included pneumonia, sepsis, septic shock, dyspnea, pulmonary hemorrhage, sudden death, myocardial ischemia or renal failure.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 33.5% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (>1%) were pneumonia, sepsis, dyspnea, pleural effusion, pulmonary embolism, pyrexia and respiratory tract infection.
TECENTRIQ was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 8% of patients. The most common adverse reactions leading to TECENTRIQ discontinuation were fatigue, infections and dyspnea. Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 25% of patients; the most common (>1%) were pneumonia, liver function test abnormality, dyspnea, fatigue, pyrexia, and back pain.
Tables 12 and 13 summarize adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in OAK.

Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
The safety of TECENTRIQ in combination with paclitaxel protein-bound was evaluated in IMpassion130, a multicenter, international, randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled trial in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who have not received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease [see Clinical Studies (14.3)]. Patients received TECENTRIQ 840 mg (n=452) or placebo (n=438) intravenously followed by paclitaxel protein-bound (100 mg/m2) intravenously. For each 28 day cycle, TECENTRIQ was administered on days 1 and 15 and paclitaxel protein-bound was administered on days 1, 8, and 15 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In the safety-evaluable population, the median duration of exposure to TECENTRIQ was 5.5 months (range: 0-32 months) and paclitaxel protein-bound was 5.1 months (range: 0-31.5 months) in the TECENTRIQ and paclitaxel protein-bound arm. The median duration of exposure to placebo was 5.1 months (range: 0-25.1 months) and paclitaxel protein-bound was 5.0 months (range: 0-23.7 months) in the placebo and paclitaxel protein-bound arm.
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.3% of patients in the TECENTRIQ and paclitaxel protein-bound arm; these included septic shock, mucosal inflammation, auto-immune hepatitis, aspiration, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 23% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions were pneumonia (2%), urinary tract infection (1%), dyspnea (1%), and pyrexia (1%).
Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of TECENTRIQ occurred in 6% (29/452) of patients in the TECENTRIQ and paclitaxel protein-bound arm. The most common adverse reaction leading to TECENTRIQ discontinuation was peripheral neuropathy (<1%).
Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 31% of patients; the most common (≥ 2%) were neutropenia, neutrophil count decreased, hyperthyroidism, and pyrexia.
Immune-related adverse reactions requiring systemic corticosteroid therapy occurred in 13% (59/452) of patients in the TECENTRIQ and paclitaxel protein-bound arm.

Patients received TECENTRIQ with cobimetinib and vemurafenib (N=230) or placebo with cobimetinib and vemurafenib (n=281).
Among the 230 patients who received TECENTRIQ administered with cobimetinib and vemurafenib, the median duration of exposure to TECENTRIQ was 9.2 months (range: 0-30 months) to cobimetinib was 10.0 months (range: 1-31 months) and to vemurafenib was 9.8 months (range: 1-31 months).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3% of patients in the TECENTRIQ plus cobimetinib and vemurafenib arm. Adverse reactions leading to death were hepatic failure, fulminant hepatitis, sepsis, septic shock, pneumonia, and cardiac arrest.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 45% of patients in the TECENTRIQ plus cobimetinib and vemurafenib arm. The most frequent (≥ 2%) serious adverse reactions were hepatotoxicity (7%), pyrexia (6%), pneumonia (4.3%), malignant neoplasms (2.2%), and acute kidney injury (2.2%).
Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of TECENTRIQ occurred in 21% of patients in the TECENTRIQ plus cobimetinib and vemurafenib arm. The most frequent (≥ 2%) adverse reactions leading to TECENTRIQ discontinuation were increased ALT (2.2%) and pneumonitis (2.6%).
Adverse reactions leading to interruption of TECENTRIQ occurred in 68% of patients in the TECENTRIQ plus cobimetinib and vemurafenib arm. The most frequent (≥ 2%) adverse reactions leading to TECENTRIQ interruption were pyrexia (14%), increased ALT (13%), hyperthyroidism (10%), increased AST (10%), increased lipase (9%), increased amylase (7%), pneumonitis (5%), increased CPK (4.3%), diarrhea (3.5%), pneumonia (3.5%), asthenia (3%), rash (3%), influenza (3%), arthralgia (2.6%), fatigue (2.2%), dyspnea (2.2%), cough (2.2%), peripheral edema (2.2%), uveitis (2.2%), bronchitis (2.2%), hypothyroidism (2.2%), and respiratory tract infection (2.2%).

Risk Summary
Based on its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], TECENTRIQ can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of TECENTRIQ in pregnant women.
Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-related rejection of the developing fetus resulting in fetal death (see Data). Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Data
Animal Data
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with TECENTRIQ to evaluate its effect on reproduction and fetal development. A literature-based assessment of the effects on reproduction demonstrated that a central function of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway is to preserve pregnancy by maintaining maternal immune tolerance to a fetus. Blockage of PD-L1 signaling has been shown in murine models of pregnancy to disrupt tolerance to a fetus and to result in an increase in fetal loss; therefore, potential risks of administering TECENTRIQ during pregnancy include increased rates of abortion or stillbirth. As reported in the literature, there were no malformations related to the blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 signaling in the offspring of these animals; however, immune-mediated disorders occurred in PD-1 and PD-L1 knockout mice. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to atezolizumab may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response.
Risk Summary
There is no information regarding the presence of atezolizumab in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. As human IgG is excreted in human milk, the potential for absorption and harm to the infant is unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from TECENTRIQ, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for at least 5 months after the last dose.
Pregnancy Testing
Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating TECENTRIQ [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
Contraception
Females
Based on its mechanism of action, TECENTRIQ can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TECENTRIQ and for at least 5 months following the last dose.
Infertility
Females
Based on animal studies, TECENTRIQ may impair fertility in females of reproductive potential while receiving treatment [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].
Specific Populations
Age (21 to 89 years), body weight, sex, albumin levels, tumor burden, region or race, mild or moderate renal impairment [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 30 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2], mild hepatic impairment (bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN or bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST), moderate hepatic impairment (bilirubin >1.5 to 3× ULN and any AST), level of PD-L1 expression, or performance status had no clinically significant effect on the systemic exposure of atezolizumab. Across clinical trials with TECENTRIQ, median atezolizumab clearance in patients who tested positive for treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADA) was 22% (range: 18% to 49%) higher as compared to atezolizumab clearance in patients who tested negative for treatment-emergent ADA.
Drug Interaction Studies
The drug interaction potential of atezolizumab is unknown.
Cisplatin-Ineligible Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
The efficacy of TECENTRIQ was investigated in IMvigor210 (Cohort 1) (NCT02951767), a multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial that included 119 patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who were ineligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy and were either previously untreated or had disease progression at least 12 months after neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients were considered cisplatin-ineligible if they met any one of the following criteria at study entry: impaired renal function [creatinine clearance (CLcr) of 30 to 59 mL/min], Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 2, hearing loss of ≥ 25 decibels (dB) at two contiguous frequencies, or Grades 2-4 peripheral neuropathy. This study excluded patients who had: a history of autoimmune disease; active or corticosteroid-dependent brain metastases; administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to enrollment; or administration of systemic immunostimulatory agents within 6 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to enrollment. Patients received TECENTRIQ 1200 mg as an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Tumor response assessments were conducted every 9 weeks for the first 54 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter. Major efficacy outcome measures included confirmed overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by independent review facility (IRF) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1), duration of response (DoR) and overall survival (OS).
In this study, the median age was 73 years, 81% were male, and 91% were White. Thirty-five percent of patients had non-bladder urothelial carcinoma and 66% had visceral metastases. Eighty percent of patients had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1. Reasons for ineligibility for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy were: 70% had impaired renal function, 20% had an ECOG PS of 2, 14% had a hearing loss of ≥ 25dB, and 6% had Grades 2-4 peripheral neuropathy at baseline. Twenty percent of patients had disease progression following prior platinum-containing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.
Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory, and the results were used to define subgroups for pre-specified analyses. Of the 119 patients, 27% were classified as having PD-L1 expression of ≥ 5% (defined as PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] covering ≥ 5% of the tumor area). The remaining 73% of patients were classified as having PD-L1 expression of < 5% (PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating IC covering < 5% of the tumor area).
Among the 32 patients with PD-L1 expression of ≥ 5%, median age was 67 years, 81% were male, 19% female, and 88% were White. Twenty-eight percent of patients had non-bladder urothelial carcinoma and 56% had visceral metastases. Seventy-two percent of patients had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1. Reasons for ineligibility for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy were: 66% had impaired renal function, 28% had an ECOG PS of 2, 16% had a hearing loss ≥ 25 dB, and 9% had Grades 2-4 peripheral neuropathy at baseline. Thirty-one percent of patients had disease progression following prior platinum-containing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.
Confirmed ORR in all patients and the two PD-L1 subgroups are summarized in Table 22. The median follow-up time for this study was 14.4 months. In 24 patients with disease progression following neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, the ORR was 33% (95% CI: 16%, 55%).

IMvigor130 (NCT02807636) is an ongoing multicenter, randomized study in previously untreated patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who are eligible for platinum-containing chemotherapy. The study contains three arms: TECENTRIQ monotherapy, TECENTRIQ with platinum-based chemotherapy (i.e., cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine), and platinum-based chemotherapy alone (comparator). Both cisplatin-eligible and cisplatin-ineligible patients are included in the study. Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory. The independent Data Monitoring Committee (iDMC) for the study conducted a review of early data and found that patients classified as having PD-L1 expression of <5% when treated with TECENTRIQ monotherapy had decreased survival compared to those who received platinum-based chemotherapy. The iDMC recommended closure of the monotherapy arm to further accrual of patients with low PD-L1 expression, however, no other changes were recommended for the study, including any change of therapy for patients who had already been randomized to and were receiving treatment in the monotherapy arm.
Metastatic Chemotherapy-Naïve NSCLC with High PD-L1 Expression
The efficacy of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in IMpower110 (NCT02409342), a multicenter, international, randomized, open-label trial in patients with stage IV NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 (PD-L1 stained ≥ 1% of tumor cells [TC ≥ 1%] or PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] covering ≥ 1% of the tumor area [IC ≥ 1%]), who had received no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. PD-L1 tumor status was determined based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay. The evaluation of efficacy is based on the subgroup of patients with high PD-L1 expression (TC ≥ 50% or IC ≥ 10%), excluding those with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. The trial excluded patients with a history of autoimmune disease, administration of a live attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to randomization, active or untreated CNS metastases, administration of systemic immunostimulatory agents within 4 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
Randomization was stratified by sex, ECOG performance status, histology (non-squamous vs. squamous) and PD-L1 expression (TC ≥ 1% and any IC vs. TC < 1% and IC ≥ 1%). Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive one of the following treatment arms:
- Arm A: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
- Arm B: Platinum-based chemotherapy
Arm B platinum-based chemotherapy regimens for non-squamous NSCLC consisted of cisplatin (75 mg/m2) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) OR carboplatin (AUC 6 mg/mL/min) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles followed by pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Arm B platinum-based chemotherapy regimens for squamous NSCLC consisted of cisplatin (75 mg/m2) on Day 1 with gemcitabine (1250 mg/m2) on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle OR carboplatin (AUC 5 mg/mL/min) on Day 1 with gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles followed by best supportive care until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Administration of TECENTRIQ was permitted beyond RECIST-defined disease progression. Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks following Cycle 1, Day 1 and then every 9 weeks thereafter. Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory and the results were used to define subgroups for pre-specified analyses.
The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS) sequentially tested in the following subgroups of patients, excluding those with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations: TC ≥50% or IC ≥10%; TC ≥5% or IC ≥5%; and TC ≥1% or IC ≥1%.
Among the 205 chemotherapy-naïve patients with stage IV NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression (TC ≥ 50% or IC ≥ 10%) excluding those with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations, the median age was 65.0 years (range: 33 to 87), and 70% of patients were male. The majority of patients were White (82%) and Asian (17%). Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (36%) or 1 (64%); 88% were current or previous smokers; and 76% of patients had non-squamous disease while 24% of patients had squamous disease.
The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS for patients with high PD-L1 expression (TC ≥50% or IC ≥10%) at the time of the OS interim analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in OS for the other two PD-L1 subgroups (TC ≥5% or IC ≥5%; and TC ≥1% or IC ≥1%) at the interim or final analyses. Efficacy results for patients with NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression are presented in Table 23 and Figure 1.

Investigator-assessed PFS showed an HR of 0.63 (95% CI: 0.45, 0.88), with median PFS of 8.1 months (95% CI: 6.8, 11.0) in the TECENTRIQ arm and 5 months (95% CI: 4.2, 5.7) in the platinum-based chemotherapy arm. The investigator-assessed confirmed ORR was 38% (95% CI: 29%, 48%) in the TECENTRIQ arm and 29% (95% CI: 20%, 39%) in the platinum-based chemotherapy arm.
Metastatic Chemotherapy-Naive Non-Squamous NSCLC
IMpower150
The efficacy of TECENTRIQ with bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin was evaluated in IMpower150 (NCT02366143), a multicenter, international, randomized (1:1:1), open-label trial in patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. Patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC who had received no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease but could have received prior EGFR or ALK kinase inhibitor if appropriate, regardless of PD-L1 or T-effector gene (tGE) status and ECOG performance status 0 or 1 were eligible. The trial excluded patients with a history of autoimmune disease, administration of a live attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to randomization, active or untreated CNS metastases, administration of systemic immunostimulatory agents within 4 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to randomization, or clear tumor infiltration into the thoracic great vessels or clear cavitation of pulmonary lesions as seen on imaging. Randomization was stratified by sex, presence of liver metastases, and PD-L1 expression status on tumor cells (TC) and tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC) as follows: TC3 and any IC vs. TC0/1/2 and IC2/3 vs. TC0/1/2 and IC0/1. Patients were randomized to one of the following three treatment arms:
- Arm A: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 or 200 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles
- Arm B: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg, bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 or 200 mg/m2, and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles
- Arm C: bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 or 200 mg/m2, and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles
Patients who had not experienced disease progression following the completion or cessation of platinum-based chemotherapy, received:
- Arm A: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
- Arm B: TECENTRIQ 1200 mg and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
- Arm C: bevacizumab 15 mg/kg intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks following Cycle 1, Day 1 and then every 9 weeks thereafter. Tumor specimens were evaluated prior to randomization for PD-L1 tumor expression using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) assay at a central laboratory. Tumor tissue was collected at baseline for expression of tGE signature and evaluation was performed using a clinical trial assay in a central laboratory prior to the analysis of efficacy outcome measures.
Major efficacy outcome measures for comparison of Arms B and C were progression free survival (PFS) by RECIST v1.1 in the tGE-WT (patients with high expression of T-effector gene signature [tGE], excluding those with EGFR- and ALK-positive NSCLC [WT]) and in the ITT-WT subpopulations and overall survival (OS) in the ITT-WT subpopulation. Additional efficacy outcome measures for comparison of Arms B and C or Arms A and C were PFS and OS in the ITT population, OS in the tGE-WT subpopulation, and ORR/DoR in the tGE-WT and ITT-WT subpopulations.
A total of 1202 patients were enrolled across the three arms of whom 1045 were in the ITT-WT subpopulation and 447 were in the tGE-WT subpopulation. The demographic information is limited to the 800 patients enrolled in Arms B and C where efficacy has been demonstrated. The median age was 63 years (range: 31 to 90), and 60% of patients were male. The majority of patients were White (82%), 13% of patients were Asian, 10% were Hispanic, and 2% of patients were Black. Clinical sites in Asia (enrolling 13% of the study population) received paclitaxel at a dose of 175 mg/m2 while the remaining 87% received paclitaxel at a dose of 200 mg/m2. Approximately 14% of patients had liver metastases at baseline, and most patients were current or previous smokers (80%). Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (43%) or 1 (57%). PD-L1 was TC3 and any IC in 12%, TC0/1/2 and IC2/3 in 13%, and TC0/1/2 and IC0/1 in 75%. The demographics for the 696 patients in the ITT-WT subpopulation were similar to the ITT population except for the absence of patients with EGFR- or ALK-positive NSCLC.
The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS between Arms B and C in both the tGE-WT and ITT-WT subpopulations, but did not demonstrate a significant difference for either subpopulation between Arms A and C based on the final PFS analyses. In the interim analysis of OS, a statistically significant improvement was observed for Arm B compared to Arm C, but not for Arm A compared to Arm C. Efficacy results for the ITT-WT subpopulation are presented in Table 24 and Figure 2.

Exploratory analyses showed that the subset of patients in the four drug regimen arm who were ADA positive by week 4 (30%) appeared to have similar efficacy (effect on overall survival) as compared to patients who tested negative for treatment-emergent ADA by week 4 (70%) [see Adverse Reactions (6.2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. In an exploratory analysis, propensity score matching was conducted to compare ADA positive patients in the TECENTRIQ, bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin arm with a matched population in the bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin arm. Similarly ADA negative patients in the TECENTRIQ, bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin arm were compared with a matched population in the bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin arm. Propensity score matching factors were: baseline sum of longest tumor size (BSLD), baseline ECOG, baseline albumin, baseline LDH, sex, tobacco history, metastatic site, TC level, and IC level. The hazard ratio comparing the ADA-positive subgroup with its matched control was 0.69 (95% CI: 0.44, 1.07). The hazard ratio comparing the ADA-negative subgroup with its matched control was 0.64 (95% CI: 0.46, 0.90).
IMpower130
The efficacy of TECENTRIQ with paclitaxel protein-bound and carboplatin was evaluated in IMpower130 (NCT02367781), a multicenter, randomized (2:1), open-label trial in patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC. Patients with Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC who had received no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease, but could have received prior EGFR or ALK kinase inhibitor, if appropriate, were eligible. The trial excluded patients with history of autoimmune disease, administration of live attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to randomization, administration of immunostimulatory agents within 4 weeks or systemic immunosuppressive medications within 2 weeks prior to randomization, and active or untreated CNS metastases. Randomization was stratified by sex, presence of liver metastases, and PD-L1 tumor expression according to the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) assay as follows: TC3 and any IC vs. TC0/1/2 and IC2/3 vs. TC0/1/2 and IC0/1. Patients were randomized to one of the following treatment regimens:
- TECENTRIQ 1200 mg on Day 1, paclitaxel protein-bound 100 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8, and 15, and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles followed by TECENTRIQ 1200 mg once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or
- Paclitaxel protein-bound 100 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8 and 15 and carboplatin AUC 6 mg/mL/min on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for a maximum of 4 or 6 cycles followed by best supportive care or pemetrexed.
Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks, then every 9 weeks thereafter. Major efficacy outcome measures were PFS by RECIST v1.1 and OS in the subpopulation of patients evaluated for and documented to have no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations (ITT-WT).
A total of 724 patients were enrolled; of these, 681 (94%) were in the ITT-WT population. The median age was 64 years (range: 18 to 86) and 59% were male. The majority of patients were white (90%), 2% of patients were Asian, 5% were Hispanic, and 4% were Black. Baseline ECOG performance status was 0 (41%) or 1 (58%). Most patients were current or previous smokers (90%). PD-L1 tumor expression was TC0/1/2 and IC0/1 in 73%; TC3 and any IC in 14%; and TC0/1/2 and IC2/3 in 13%.
Efficacy results for the ITT-WT population are presented in Table 25 and Figure 3.

Previously Treated Metastatic NSCLC
The efficacy of TECENTRIQ was evaluated in a multicenter, international, randomized (1:1), open-label study (OAK; NCT02008227) conducted in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose disease progressed during or following a platinum-containing regimen. Patients with a history of autoimmune disease, symptomatic or corticosteroid-dependent brain metastases, or requiring systemic immunosuppression within 2 weeks prior to enrollment were ineligible. Randomization was stratified by PD-L1 expression tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC), the number of prior chemotherapy regimens (1 vs. 2), and histology (squamous vs. non-squamous).
Patients were randomized to receive TECENTRIQ 1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity, radiographic progression, or clinical progression or docetaxel 75 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Tumor assessments were conducted every 6 weeks for the first 36 weeks and every 9 weeks thereafter. Major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS) in the first 850 randomized patients and OS in the subgroup of patients with PD-L1-expressing tumors (defined as ≥ 1% PD-L1 expression on tumor cells [TC] or immune cells [IC]). Additional efficacy outcome measures were OS in all randomized patients (n = 1225), OS in subgroups based on PD-L1 expression, overall response rate (ORR), and progression free survival as assessed by the investigator per RECIST v.1.1.
Among the first 850 randomized patients, the median age was 64 years (33 to 85 years) and 47% were ≥ 65 years old; 61% were male; 70% were White and 21% were Asian; 15% were current smokers and 67% were former smokers; and 37% had baseline ECOG PS of 0 and 63% had a baseline ECOG PS of 1. Nearly all (94%) had metastatic disease, 74% had non-squamous histology, 75% had received only one prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen, and 55% of patients had PD-L1-expressing tumors.
Efficacy results are presented in Table 26 and Figure 4.

Tumor specimens were evaluated prospectively using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) Assay at a central laboratory and the results were used to define the PD-L1 expression subgroups for pre-specified analyses. Of the 850 patients, 16% were classified as having high PD-L1 expression, defined as having PD-L1 expression on ≥ 50% of TC or ≥ 10% of IC. In an exploratory efficacy subgroup analysis of OS based on PD-L1 expression, the hazard ratio was 0.41 (95% CI: 0.27, 0.64) in the high PD-L1 expression subgroup and 0.82 (95% CI: 0.68, 0.98) in patients who did not have high PD-L1 expression.
Exploratory analyses showed that the subset of patients who were ADA positive by week 4 (21%) appeared to have less efficacy (effect on overall survival) as compared to patients who tested negative for treatment-emergent ADA by week 4 (79%) [see Adverse Reactions (6.2), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. ADA positive patients by week 4 appeared to have similar OS compared to docetaxel-treated patients. In an exploratory analysis, propensity score matching was conducted to compare ADA positive patients in the atezolizumab arm with a matched population in the docetaxel arm and ADA negative patients in the atezolizumab arm with a matched population in the docetaxel arm. Propensity score matching factors were: baseline sum of longest tumor size (BSLD), baseline ECOG, histology (squamous vs. non-squamous), baseline albumin, baseline LDH, gender, tobacco history, metastases status (advanced or local), metastatic site, TC level, and IC level. The hazard ratio comparing the ADA positive subgroup with its matched control was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.61, 1.3). The hazard ratio comparing the ADA negative subgroup with its matched control was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.55, 0.83).
