Sex
16. Male and female participants
The contraception and abstinence requirements are intended to prevent exposure of an
embryo to the study treatment. The reliability of sexual abstinence for male and/or
female enrollment eligibility needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the
clinical study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. Periodic abstinence
(eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are
not acceptable methods of contraception.
a) Female participants
A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (see Appendix 5),
not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP, as defined in Section 1 of
Appendix 5).
OR
WOCBP, who:
– Agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use
contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of 1% per year during the
treatment period and for at least 4 months after the last dose of study drug for
RO6874281 and for at least 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab.
Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of 1% per year include
bilateral tubal occlusion, male sterilization, established proper use of hormonal
contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, and hormone-releasing intrauterine devices
(see Appendix 5).
– Have a negative pregnancy test (serum) within the 7 days before the first study
treatment administration.
Male Participants
During the treatment period and for at least 2 months after the last dose of
RO6874281, agreement to:
– Remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive
measures such as a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that
together result in a failure rate of 1% per year, with partners who are WOCBP
(as defined in Section 1 of Appendix 5).
– With pregnant female partners, remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual
intercourse) or use contraceptive measures such as a condom to avoid
exposing the embryo.
– Refrain from donating sperm.
Gilbert’s Syndrome:
Participants with Gilbert’s syndrome will be eligible for the study. The diagnosis of
Gilbert's syndrome is suspected in people who have persistent, slightly elevated levels of
unconjugated bilirubin ( 3.0 ULN) without any other apparent cause. A diagnosis of
Gilbert’s syndrome will be based on the exclusion of other diseases on the basis of the
following criteria:
a. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia noted on several occasions.
b. No evidence of hemolysis (normal hemoglobin, normal haptoglobin levels,
reticulocyte count), and lactate dehydrogenase.
c. Normal liver function tests.
d. Absence of other diseases associated with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
5.1.2 Specific Inclusion Criteria for Participants with NSCLC

before study enrollment.
b) Participant must have progressed on at least one previous systemic therapy for
advanced or metastatic disease.
c) Participants may be enrolled if they are ineligible for SoC therapy or if they are not
willing to receive conventional therapy.
d) Participants whose tumors have a known sensitizing mutation (eg, EGFR, ALK, etc.)
must have experienced disease progression (during or after treatment) or

12 weeks of CPI therapy may not be eligible and require discussion with the
Sponsor. Screening tumor assessment should confirm previous progression.

Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI CTCAE]
Grade 3 and 4).
Checkpoint Inhibitor Naïve Participants (Part I Cohort C)
