Trial Summary
This Phase Ib/II study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and preliminary anti-tumor activity of atezolizumab administered by intravenous (IV) infusion alone and in combination with intravesical BCG in high-risk NMIBC participants. The study will be conducted in following cohorts: Cohort 1A, Cohort 1B, Cohort 2, and Cohort 3. Atezolizumab will be administered at a fixed dose of 1200 milligrams (mg) every 3 weeks (q3w) for a maximum of 96 weeks. BCG will be administered to evaluate dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), or maximum administered dose (MAD). De-escalation will be allowed for up to three dose levels of BCG (full dose [50 mg], 66 percent [%] of a full dose, and 33% of a full dose [Cohort 1B only]). After the MTD or MAD is determined for Cohort 1B, this dose will be used for all subsequent participants enrolled into Cohorts 1B, 2, and 3, unless the MTD is determined to be 33% of a full BCG dose. If MTD is determined to be 33% of a full BCG dose, then, no participants will be enrolled into Cohorts 2 and 3 until an assessment of the safety and activity of the combination of atezolizumab plus 33% of a full BCG dose is completed.
A Phase Ib/II, Open-Label Study of the Safety and Pharmacology of Atezolizumab Administered With or Without Bacille Calmette-Guérin in Patients With High-Risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
- Histologically confirmed non-muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder with carcinoma in-situ (CIS)
- High-risk NMIBC defined by the following:
BCG-unresponsive NMIBC:

BCG-relapsing NMIBC:
Recurrence of high-grade CIS after achieving a disease-free state following induction of an adequate course of BCG that occurs greater than or equal to (>/=) 6 months after the last exposure to BCG
Very high-risk (VHR) BCG-naïve NMIBC:
VHR NMIBC, defined as having at least 1 of the following: Multiple and/or large (greater than [>] 3 centimeters [cm]) T1, (HG/G3) tumors; T1, (HG/G3) tumor with concurrent CIS; T1, G3 with CIS in prostatic urethra; Micropapillary variant of non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma

- Administration of a live/attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment, within 5 months following the administration of the last dose of study drug, or anticipation that such a live/attenuated vaccine will be required during the study
- History of prior significant toxicity or intolerance to BCG requiring discontinuation of treatment
- History of prior systemic BCG infection
- History of immunosuppression, or conditions associated with congenital or acquired immune deficiency
- Concurrent febrile illness, urinary tract infection, or gross hematuria
- Prior treatment with cluster of differentiation 137 (CD137) agonists or immune checkpoint blockade therapies
- Treatment with systemic immunostimulatory agents within 6 weeks or five half-lives of the drug, whichever is shorter, prior to the first dose of study treatment
