  10. Time to Deterioration (TTD) in Patient-reported Lung Cancer Symptoms Using EORTC QLQ-C30 Symptom Subscales in the ITT Population [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 30 months after first participant enrolled ]
    TTD in Patient-reported Lung Cancer Symptoms Using EORTC QLQ-C30 Symptom Subscales in the ITT Population. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a validated and reliable self-report measure that consists of 30 questions that assess five aspects of patient functioning (physical, emotional, role, cognitive, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain), global health/quality of life, and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). EORTC scales and single-item measures will be linearly transformed so that each score has a range of 0-100. A high score for a functional scale represents a high or healthy level of functioning, and a high score for the global health status and HRQoL represents a high HRQoL; however, a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.

  11. TTD in Patient-reported Lung Cancer Symptoms Using EORTC QLQ-LC13 Symptom Subscales in the ITT Population [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 30 months after the first participant enrolled ]
    TTD was documented for a 3-symptom composite endpoint using the following EORTC QLQ-LC13 symptom scores: cough, chest pain, and dyspnea multi--item scale. In this instance, symptom deterioration will be determined as a >= 10-point increase above baseline in any of the listed symptom scores, whichever occurs first (cough, chest pain, and dyspnea multi-item scale). Confirmed clinically meaningful symptom deterioration will need to be held for the original symptom; a >= 10-point increase above baseline in a symptom score must be held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial>=10-point increase above baseline followed by death within 3 weeks from the last assessment. A >= 10-point change in the EORTC scale score is perceived by patients as clinically significant.

  12. Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Lung Cancer Symptoms Score Using the SILC Scale Symptom Severity Score in the ITT Population [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 30 months after first participant enrolled ]
    Change from baseline per SILC scale will be analyzed for each lung cancer symptoms scores. SILC questionnaire comprises 3 individual symptoms & are scored at individual symptom level, thus have a dyspnea score, chest pain score, & cough score. There are a total of 9 questions in SILC questionnaire, each question has a minimum value of 0 & maximum value of 4. Each individual symptom score is calculated as average of responses for symptom items. 'Chest pain' score is mean of question 1 & 2, 'Cough' score is mean of question 3 & 4 and 'Dyspnea' score is mean of question 5 to 9 in SILC questionnaire. An increase in score is suggestive of a worsening in symptomology. A score change of ≥0.3 points for dyspnea & cough symptom scores is considered to be clinically significant; whereas a score change of ≥0.5 points for chest pain score is considered to be clinically significant. (Note: PD=progression of disease)

  13. PFS as Determined by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 in the ITT Population (Arm A and Arm B) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 30 months after first participant enrolled ]
    PFS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, in the ITT Population Arm A and Arm B.

  14. OS in the ITT Population (Arm A and Arm B) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 39 months after first participant enrolled ]
    OS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and date of death from any cause in the ITT Population, Arm A and Arm B.

  15. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 68 months after first participant enrolled ]
    Percentage of participants with at least one adverse event.

  16. Percentage of Participants With Anti-therapeutic Antibody (ATA) Response to Atezolizumab [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 30 months after first participant enrolled ]
    Percentage of participants with Anti-therapeutic Antibody (ATA) response to atezolizumab.
