- Major pathological response (MPR) [ Time Frame: At time of surgery ]MPR is defined as ≤ 10% residual viable tumor at the time of surgical resection, as assessed by central pathology laboratory.
- Independent Review Facility (IRF)-Assessed Event Free Survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Approximately 70 months ]IRF-assessed EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per RECIST v1.1 that precludes surgery, local or distant disease recurrence, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Approximately 73 months ]OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause during the course of the study.
- Investigator-Assessed EFS [ Time Frame: Approximately 73 months ]EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per RECIST v1.1 that precludes surgery, local or distant disease recurrence, as assessed by the investigator; or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
- EFS by PD-L1 Expression [ Time Frame: Approximately 73 months ]EFS by PD-L1 expression will be characterized at various TC cutoff levels.
- Objective Response (OR) [ Time Frame: Prior to surgery, up to approximately 84 days ]Objective response is defined as a complete response or partial response, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1
- Pathological Complete Response (pCR) [ Time Frame: At time of surgery ]pCR is defined as the absence of any viable tumor at the time of surgical resection, as assessed by central and local pathology laboratory.
- MPR [ Time Frame: At time of surgery ]MPR at the time of surgical resection as assessed by the investigator site pathology laboratory.
- 2-Year and 3-year OS [ Time Frame: Approximately 73 months ]The 2-year and 3-year OS rate is defined as the probability that a participant will be alive 2 years and 3 years after randomization, respectively.
- 2-Year and 3-Year Independent Review Facility-Assessed EFS [ Time Frame: Approximately 73 months ]EFS is defined as the probability that a participant will be event-free 2 years and 3 years after randomization, respectively, as assessed by the Independent Review Facility.
- Disease-Free Survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: Approximately 73 months ]DFS is defined as the time from the first date of no disease to local or distant recurrence or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator during the adjuvant treatment and observation follow-up
- Change from baseline in HRQoL scores [ Time Frame: Approximately 73 months ]Change from baseline in HRQoL scores as assessed through use of the two-item GHS/HRQoL subscale (Questions 29 and 30) of the EORTC QLQ-C30 at each assessment time point during the study through the completion of adjuvant treatment and observation follow-up assessments
- Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 73 months ]
- Minimum Observed Serum Atezolizumab Concentration (Cmin) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 3 (each cylce is 21 days) for Neoadjuvant Treatment; pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 5, 7, 9, 11 and 19 (each cycle is 21 days) for Arm A; at treatment or observation follow-up discontinuation (up to approximately 82 months) ]Cmin is the minimum (or trough) concentration that a study drug achieves in the body.
- Maximum Observed Serum Atezolizumab Concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 3 for Neoadjuvant Treatment; Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 5, 7, 9, 11 and 19 for Arm A. Each cycle is 21 days; at treatment or observation follow-up discontinuation (up to approximately 82 months) ]Cmax is the maximum (or peak) concentration that a study drug achieves in the body.
- Percentage of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) to Atezolizumab [ Time Frame: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 3 for Neoadjuvant Treatment; Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 5, 7, 9, 11 and 19 for Arm A. Each cycle is 21 days; at treatment or observation follow-up discontinuation (up to approximately 82 months) ]
