Percentage of Participants With Major Pathologic Response (MPR) Primary · After surgery (approximately 10 weeks)

Major pathologic response was defined as ≤10% of viable tumor cells as scored by a pathologist, based on surgical resection as defined by prior studies. Percentages have been rounded off to the nearest decimal point.

ORR was defined as percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigator using RECIST v.1.1, assessed in the programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive (participants with combined tumor cell (TC)/ immune cell (IC) score categorized as TC1/2/3 or IC1/2/3) and PD-L1 negative (participants with TC/IC score was categorized as TC0 and IC0) groups. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions or any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) having a reduction in short axis to \<10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined

Major pathologic response (MPR) was defined as ≤10% of viable tumor cells, as scored by a pathologist, based on surgical resection as defined by prior studies. MPR was assessed based on participants tumor cell (TC) and immune cell (IC) score. The participants were considered as PD-L1- positive if their combined TC/IC score was categorized as TC1/2/3 or IC1/2/3 and the participants were considered PD-L1 negative if TC/IC score was categorized as TC0 and IC0.

Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event Secondary · From first study dose of atezolizumab until 90 days after the last study dose of atezolizumab (up to 18 months)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in participant administered a pharmaceutical product \& regardless of causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable \& unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom/disease temporally associated with use of investigational product, whether or not considered related to investigational product. AEs were reported based on the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for AEs, version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE, v4.0).

Percentage of Participants With Major Pathologic Response (MPR) by Mutation Load Secondary · Up to 13 weeks

MPR was defined as ≤10% of viable tumor cells in the surgical resection as scored by a pathologist. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was run, and the consequences of each mutation were determined using Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP). Mutation load (i.e. tumor mutation burden (TMB)) was defined as the number of variants altering protein sequence as outlined by VEP divided by 34 Megabase (MB) of assay target region. The final value was reported as number of mutations per megabase (mut/MB). It was divided into three groups: TMB \<10 mut/MB; TMB ≥ 10 mut/MB to \<16 mut/MB; and TMB ≥16 mut/MB.

Percentage of Participants With Major Pathologic Response (MPR) by Neoantigen Score Secondary · Up to 13 weeks

MPR was defined as ≤10% of viable tumor cells in the surgical resection as scored by a pathologist. MPR was analysed by neoantigen score, which was assessed based on the number of highly immunogenic, expressed neoantigens detected at baseline. Median splits were applied for analyses of MPR. Neoantigen scores \>/= 73 (i.e. \>/= 73 highly immunogenic, expressed neoantigens detected at baseline) were considered as high scores, and scores \<73 (i.e. \<73 highly immunogenic, expressed neoantigens detected at baseline) were considered as low neoantigen scores.

MPR was defined as ≤10% of viable tumor cells in the surgical resection as scored by a pathologist. MPR was analysed by gene set variation analysis (GSVA) scores. Bulk ribonucleic acid (RNA) from baseline tumor samples were assessed using GSVA for a T effector cell (Teff) signature comprising the following genes: cluster of differentiation 8A (CD8A), eomesodermin (EOMES), granzyme A (GZMA), T-box transcription factor 21 (TBX21), interferon-gamma (IFNG), granzyme B (GZMB), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9 (CXCL9), and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10).

Bulk RNA from baseline tumor samples were assessed using xCell immune score. Tertile splits were applied to xCell immune scores, categorized as lower, middle, and upper scores, which indicated the relative levels of immune cell gene expression in the baseline tumor samples.

Sponsor's own description

This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant and adjuvant atezolizumab in participants with resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Neoadjuvant therapy consisted of two 21-day cycles with atezolizumab. Following surgery, adjuvant therapy consisted of up to 12 months of atezolizumab in participants who demonstrate clinical benefit with neoadjuvant therapy. All participants who undergo surgery entered a surveillance period, which consisted of standardized blood sample collection and Chest CT Scans, for up to 2 years. All participants were monitored for disease recurrence and survival for up to 3 years after last dose of study drug.
