Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Atezolizumab
Participants will receive intravenous (IV) infusion of atezolizumab once on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until loss of clinical benefit.
|
Drug: Atezolizumab
Atezolizumab will be administered at a dose of 1200 milligrams (mg) by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until loss of clinical benefit.
Other Name: MPDL3280A; Tecentriq |
Active Comparator: Gemcitabine + Cisplatin/Carboplatin
Participants will receive IV infusion of gemcitabine + cisplatin or gemcitabine + carboplatin once on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for four or six cycles as per local standard of care.
|
Drug: Carboplatin
Carboplatin will be administered at area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) 5 IV infusion once on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 or 6 cycles. Drug: Cisplatin Cisplatin will be administered at 75 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) IV infusion once on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 or 6 cycles. Drug: Gemcitabine Gemcitabine will be administered at 1000 mg/m^2 (when coadministered with carboplatin) or 1250 mg/m^2 (when coadministered with cisplatin) IV infusion on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for 4 or 6 cycles. |
