- Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as Determined by Investigator [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 32 months ]Investigator-assessed objective response rate was defined as the proportion of participants who had a confirmed best overall response of either PR or CR per RECIST v1.1.
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Per RECIST v1.1 as Determined by Investigator, by Positive Versus Negative bTMB Groups [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 32 months ]Investigator-assessed PFS by RECIST v1.1 was defined as the time from the first dose of study drug to the time of PD or death from any cause during the study, whichever occurred first.
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Per RECIST v1.1 as Determined by Investigator [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 32 months ]Investigator-assessed PFS by RECIST v1.1 was defined as the time from the first dose of study drug to the time of PD or death from any cause during the study, whichever occurred first.
- Duration of Response (DOR) Per RECIST v1.1 as Determined by Investigator [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 32 months ]Investigator-assessed DOR by RECIST v1.1 was defined as the time from initial occurrence of documented CR or PR until documented disease progression as determined by the investigator, or death, whichever occurred first.
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) Per RECIST v1.1 as Determined by Investigator [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 32 months ]Confirmed disease control rate (cDCR) was defined as the rate of patients with CR or PR as the best response, or SD maintained for 24 weeks, per RECIST v1.1.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From baseline until death (up to 32 months) ]OS was defined as the time from the first dose of study drug to the time of death from any cause during the study.
- Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 32 months ]Adverse events were defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered atezolizumab, regardless of causal attribution.
- Percentage of Participants Who Are Alive and Progression-Free (Per RECIST v1.1) at 6, 9, 12, and 18 Months by Various bTMB Quantiles [ Time Frame: Months 6, 9, 12, and 18 ]A summary of the number of patients at risk and survival rate for the time points of 6, 9, 12, and 18 months.
- OS by Various bTMB Cutoff Points 16 and 20 [ Time Frame: From baseline until death (up to 32 months) ]OS was defined as the time from the first dose of study drug to the time of death from any cause during the study.
- Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (Per RECIST v1.1) by Various bTMB Quantiles [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 32 months ]Objective response rate was defined as the proportion of participants who had a confirmed best overall response of either PR or CR per RECIST v1.1.
