PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of temozolomide in combination with niraparib and atezolizumab. (Phase Ib) II. Evaluate the efficacy of niraparib plus temozolomide plus atezolizumab at RP2D (Arm A) compared with atezolizumab (Arm B) as measured by progression-free survival (PFS). (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the efficacy of niraparib plus temozolomide plus atezolizumab compared with atezolizumab alone, as measured by overall survival (OS).
II. To evaluate the efficacy of niraparib plus temozolomide plus atezolizumab compared with atezolizumab alone, as measured by objective response rate (ORR) as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.
III. To evaluate the safety of niraparib plus temozolomide plus atezolizumab compared with atezolizumab alone as measured by adverse events (AEs).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess participant-reported outcomes on health-related quality of life and adverse events.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of temozolomide. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM A: Patients receive temozolomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-5 and niraparib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive standard of care atezolizumab intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM B: Patients receive standard of care atezolizumab IV every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, every 8 weeks for 24 weeks, and then every 12 weeks for up to 1 year.

- Recommended phase II dose of niraparib and temozolomide combination (Phase Ib) [ Time Frame: At 28 days ]
- Progression-free survival (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From randomization to cancer progression, assessed up to 36 months ]Assessed per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1. A Cox proportional hazards model will be used to estimate the hazard ratio and its 95% confidence interval. A one-sided stratified log-rank tests will be used to compare Arm A versus Arm B.
- Objective response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]Defined as a partial or complete tumor response per RECIST 1.1.
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to death by any cause, assessed up to 36 months ]A one-sided stratified log-rank tests will compare Arm A versus Arm B.
- Incidence of adverse events per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]Incidence of adverse events (AEs) occurring during the study will be summarized by system organ class and preferred term. Adverse events will also be summarized by causality and grade. Serious adverse events will be listed separately. Descriptive summary statistics will be used to summarize changes over time in laboratory values, vital signs, physical examination findings, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, for all treated participants.
- Quality of life per Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung questionnaire (FACT-L) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]Will be analyzed by the clinical biostatisticians in the University of California, Los Angeles Department of Medicine Medical Statistics Core. The FACT-L uses a 5 point scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). a higher score is better.

There should be no contra-indication to a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor in the opinion of the treating investigator. This includes active autoimmune disease or a chronic medical condition that requires chronic steroid therapy or immunosuppressive medication, above a dose equivalent to 10 mg prednisone. Exceptions include participants with vitiligo, resolved childhood asthma/atopy, participants who require intermittent use of bronchodilators or local steroid injections, and participants with a history of hypothyroidism or adrenal insufficiency taking a stable dose of replacement therapy.
