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

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 complication. Exceptions may be
made if patient has only one lesion that allows multiple biopsies.

Disease-Specific Inclusion Criteria: Cohort C:

[< 5 years old] or newly obtained) through use of a clinical mutation test approved by
the local health authority

- A representative, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimen in a
paraffin block (preferred) or 20 slides containing unstained, freshly cut, serial
sections must be submitted along with an associated pathology report prior to study
entry.

- Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1.

General Inclusion Criteria:

- Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1

- Available and adequate baseline tumor tissue sample

- Life expectancy ≥ 18 weeks

- Adequate hematologic and end-organ function, defined by laboratory test results,
obtained within 14 days before initiation of study treatment

- For women of childbearing potential: abstinent or use an effective form of
contraceptive method for at least 3 months for cobimetinib and at least 5 months for
atezolizumab. Women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period.

donating sperm for at least 3 months after cobimetinib and atezolizumab

Exclusion criteria

based therapy

- Adverse events from prior anti-cancer therapy that have not resolved to Grade ≤ 1.
Clinically stable patients with manageable immune-related adverse events resulting
from prior cancer immunotherapy may be eligible for the study.

- History or evidence of ongoing serous retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion (RVO) at
baseline

Cycle 1

obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of
active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan

- Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medications with the following exceptions:

- Patients who have received acute, low-dose systemic immunosuppressant medication (≤ 10
mg/day oral prednisone or equivalent) or a one-time pulse dose of systemic
immunosuppressant medication (e.g., 48 hours of corticosteroids for a contrast
allergy) are eligible for the study after Medical Monitor approval has been obtained.

- Patients who received mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone), corticosteroids for
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, or low-dose corticosteroids
