Per electronic case report form.

Percentages based on 400 patients in the atezolizumab arm and 401 patients in the observation arm.

§

Archival and/or fresh pre-treatment formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumour tissue from all patients (surgical resection or lymph node dissection) were prospectively tested for PD-L1 status per a central laboratory and used as a stratification factor. A total of 119 patients were enrolled under a protocol using IC2/3 selection; 690 patients were enrolled under an “all-comer” protocol that enrolled 273 patients with IC2/3 tumours (40%) and 417 patients with IC0/1 tumours (60%).
