Pivotal Trial
Summary
This trial is testing a new cancer treatment against the current best treatment, to see if the new treatment is more effective in preventing the cancer from returning.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had surgery to remove non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and are now ready for chemotherapy. They should be in good physical condition with a performance status of 0 or 1, have no recent infections, not pregnant, and without a history of severe allergies to drugs used in the study. People with certain other health issues or treatments within the last five years can't join.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if Atezolizumab given over 16 cycles improves survival compared to just supportive care after surgery and chemo in NSCLC patients. It's an open-label study where participants are randomly chosen to get either the drug or supportive care after their initial chemo treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Atezolizumab may cause immune-related reactions like inflammation in organs, infusion reactions similar to allergic responses, fatigue, possible liver enzyme changes leading to hepatitis symptoms, skin rash or itching, and increased risk of infection.

Active Control
Group I: AtezolizumabExperimental Treatment6 Interventions
Enrollment Phase: Participants will receive four 21-day cycles of cisplatin-based chemotherapy (cisplatin plus either vinorelbine or docetaxel or gemcitabine or pemetrexed \[non-squamous cell NSCLC only\]), unless unacceptable toxicity, disease relapse, or participant's decision to discontinue occur. Randomization Phase: Participants will receive atezolizumab 1200 milligrams (mg) intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks (Q3W) for sixteen 21-day cycles and will undergo periodic chest X-ray and CT scan.
Group II: Best Supportive CareActive Control5 Interventions
Enrollment Phase: Participants will receive four 21-day cycles of cisplatin-based chemotherapy (cisplatin plus either vinorelbine or docetaxel or gemcitabine or pemetrexed \[non-squamous cell NSCLC only\]), unless unacceptable toxicity, disease relapse, or participant's decision to discontinue occur. Randomization Phase: After enrollment phase participants will receive only the best supportive care and will undergo periodic chest X-ray and CT scan.
