Subjects positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA.
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, active tuberculosis, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent.
• Known history of, or any evidence of active, non-infectious pneumonitis. (Note: History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field \[fibrosis\] is permitted).
• History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins.
• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to biopharmaceuticals produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells or any component of the atezolizumab formulation.
• Contra-indication for treatment by nab-paclitaxel, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin or known allergy to any tested substances or any excipients (e.g; chemotherapy or immunotherapy formulations).
• Contra-indication for treatment by nab-paclitaxel or known allergy to any tested substances or any excipients (e.g; chemotherapy or immunotherapy formulations).
• Prior malignancy other than breast cancer active within the previous 5 years, except for localized cancers that are considered to have been cured and in the opinion of the investigator present a low risk for recurrence. Examples include basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast.
