Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Treatment A
Participants will receive atezolizumab SC followed by atezolizumab IV.
|
Drug: Atezolizumab
Atezolizumab will be administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Participants will receive atezolizumab according to their assigned route of administration (i.e., SC or IV) for the first three treatment cycles. At Cycle 4, participants will cross-over and receive atezolizumab administered according to the alternative route of administration for Cycles 4-6. This period of 3+3 cycles in both treatment arms constitutes the study Treatment Cross-over Period. After Cycle 6, participants will select how they would like atezolizumab to be administered (SC or IV) for the Treatment Continuation Period. The Treatment Continuation Period will continue until Cycle 16 for participants with early-stage NSCLC or until loss of clinical benefit, as determined by the investigator according to local standard of care, for patients with advanced NSCLC.

- Proportion of Participants Who Preferred Atezolizumab SC to Atezolizumab IV [ Time Frame: Following treatment administration on Day 1 of Cycle 6 (cycle length is 21 days) of the Treatment Cross-over Period ]Proportion of participants who preferred atezolizumab SC to atezolizumab IV, with treatment preference assessed using Question 1 of the Patient Preference Questionnaire (PPQ).
- Participant-Reported Satisfaction With Atezolizumab SC and Atezolizumab IV [ Time Frame: Following treatment administration on Day 1 of Cycles 3 and 6 (cycle length is 21 days) of the Treatment Cross-over Period ]Evaluate participant-reported satisfaction with atezolizumab SC and atezolizumab IV assessed using Question 1 of the Therapy Administration Satisfaction Questionnaire - subcutaneous (TASQ-SC) and TASQ - intravenous (TASQ-IV).
- Proportion of Participants Who Select Atezolizumab SC [ Time Frame: After Cycle 6 (Cycle length is 21 days) ]Evaluate participants' choice of atezolizumab SC for the Treatment Continuation Period based on the proportion of participants who select atezolizumab SC for this study period
- HCP Perception of Time/Resource Use With Atezolizumab SC Compared to Atezolizumab IV [ Time Frame: During Treatment Cross-over Period (3+3 cycles; each cycle is 21days) ]Evaluate HCP perception of time/resource use with atezolizumab SC compared to IV based on HCP responses to the Healthcare Professional Questionnaires (HCPQs), by individual question.
- HCP Perception of Convenience for Administration With Atezolizumab SC Compared to Atezolizumab IV [ Time Frame: After administration of each participant's treatment Cycle 6 (cycle length is 21 days) ]Evaluate HCP perception of convenience for administration with atezolizumab SC and IV based on HCP responses to the Healthcare Professional Questionnaires (HCPQs), by individual question.
- Change in Symptoms, as Assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 Scores [ Time Frame: Baseline and over time (through approximately 2 years) ]Change in symptoms from baseline and over time as assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) scores.
- Change in Function, as Assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 Scores [ Time Frame: Baseline and over time (through approximately 2 years) ]Change in function from baseline and over time as assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) scores.
- Changes in Score in HRQoL [ Time Frame: Baseline and over time (through approximately 2 years) ]Changes from baseline score in HRQoL by cycle as assessed by the Global Health Status/Quality of Life (GHS/QoL) scale (items 29 and 30) of the EORTC QLQ-C30.
- Percentage of Participants With Continuing Clinical Benefit [ Time Frame: After Cycle 16 (each cycle is 21 days) ]Percentage of participants with continuing clinical benefit after 16 cycles of atezolizumab, as assessed by the investigator according to local standard of care.
- Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
- Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events During Treatment Cross-over Period [ Time Frame: During the study Treatment Cross-over Period (3+3 cycles; each cycle is 21days) ]
