Overview
Brief Summary
This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A, an anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1] antibody) administered in combination with paclitaxel compared with placebo in combination with paclitaxel in participants with previously untreated, inoperable locally advanced or metastatic, centrally confirmed TNBC. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive atezolizumab or placebo plus paclitaxel until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or end of study, whichever occurs first (maximum up to approximately 40 months). In addition, the Sponsor may decide to terminate the study at any time.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Participants with locally advanced or metastatic, histologically documented TNBC (absence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 \[HER2\], estrogen receptor \[ER\], and progesterone receptor \[PR\] expression), not amenable to surgical therapy
- •Participants eligible for taxane monotherapy
- •No prior chemotherapy or targeted systemic therapy (including endocrine therapy) for inoperable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC
- •Availability of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor block (preferred) or at least 17 unstained slides, collected ≤3 months prior to randomization, with an associated pathology report, if available. If a tumour sample taken within 3 months before randomisation is not available and a tumour biopsy is not clinically feasible, the primary surgical resection sample or the most recent FFPE tumour biopsy sample may be used. Of these additional options, the most recent sample should be used.
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1
- •Life expectancy at least 12 weeks
- •Measurable disease, as defined by RECIST v1.1
- •Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
- •Negative human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test at screening.
- •Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening
Exclusion Criteria
- •Spinal cord compression not definitively treated with surgery and/or radiation, or previously diagnosed and treated spinal cord compression without evidence that disease has been clinically stable for at least 2 weeks prior to randomization
- •Known central nervous system (CNS) disease, except for treated asymptomatic CNS metastases
- •Leptomeningeal disease
- •Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites
- •Uncontrolled tumor-related pain, or uncontrolled hypercalcemia or clinically significant (symptomatic) hypercalcemia
- •Malignancies other than TNBC within 5 years prior to randomization, with the exception of those with a negligible risk of metastasis or death and treated with expected curative outcome (such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, or Stage I uterine cancer)
- •Pregnant or breast-feeding women, or intending to become pregnant during the study
- •Evidence of significant uncontrolled concomitant disease that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results, including significant liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and presence of an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG)
- •Serious infection requiring antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to randomization, including but not limited to infections requiring hospitalization or IV antibiotics, such as bacteremia, or severe pneumonia
- •Major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to randomization or anticipation of the need for a major surgical procedure during the study other than for diagnosis

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Assessed Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population
Time Frame: From Day 1 to disease progression (PD) or death from any cause, assessed up to primary completion date (approximately 26 months)
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of PD, as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause during the study, whichever occurs first. PD is defined as greater than or equal to (\>/=) 20 percent (%) relative increase and \>/=5 millimeter (mm) of absolute increase in the sum of diameters (SD) of target lesions (TLs), taking as reference the smallest SD recorded since treatment started, or appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
