Purpose: This randomized, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab compared with treatment with carboplatin plus (+) paclitaxel and bevacizumab in chemotherapy-naïve patients with Stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed, treatment-naïve Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC

  • Adequate hematologic and end organ function

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Active or untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases
  • Malignancies other than NSCLC within 5 years prior to randomization, with the exception of those with a negligible risk of metastasis or death treated with expected curative outcome
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • History of autoimmune disease
  • History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest Computed Tomography (CT) scan. History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted.
  • Positive test for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
  • Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C
  • Prior treatment with CD137 agonists or immune checkpoint blockade therapies, anti PD1, and anti-PD-L1 therapeutic antibody
