Plain-language summary
This study will evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of cobimetinib and atezolizumab in participants with advanced BRAF V600-wild type (WT), metastatic, or unresectable locally advanced melanoma who have progressed on prior anti-PD-1 therapy. In addition, this study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab monotherapy in participants with BRAFV600-WT metastatic or unresectable locally advanced melanoma, who have not been previously treated.

Inclusion criteria
Disease-Specific Inclusion Criteria: Cohorts A and B:
* Histologically confirmed Stage IV (metastatic) or unresectable Stage IIIc BRAF V600 WT (locally advanced) melanoma
* Documentation of BRAF V600 mutation-negative status in melanoma tumor tissue (archival \[\< 5 years old\] or newly obtained) through use of a clinical mutation test approved by the local health authority
* Measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
* Disease progression on or after treatment with a programmed death (PD)-1 inhibitor either as monotherapy or in combination with other agent(s)
Additional Disease-Specific Inclusion Criteria in Cohort B (Biopsy Cohort):
* Progressed on or after anti-PD-1 therapy within 12 weeks before study start
* Received a minimum of two cycles of anti-PD-1 therapy
* Meet the following criteria for resistance to an anti-PD-1 agent: primary resistance defined as disease progression, according to RECIST v1.1, as best response; secondary resistance defined as disease progression after initial confirmed response according to RECIST v1.1
* Consent to undergo tumor biopsies of accessible lesions, before and during treatment and at radiographic progression, for biomarker analyses.
* Have at least two accessible lesions that are amenable to excisional or core-needle (minimum three cores and minimum diameter 18 gauge; however, 16 gauge is desirable) biopsy without unacceptable risk of a major procedural complicati…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
