Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Intracranial Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame:Up to 48 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Intracranial ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with either a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) in their intracranial disease based on two consecutive assessments ≥ 4 weeks apart. Disease status for this endpoint will be determined by an Independent Review Committee (IRC) in accordance with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) with modified measurability definition for intracranial lesions (≥ 0.5 cm by MRI) and allowing up to five intracranial target lesions. CR is defined as disappearance of all lesions. PR is defined as ≥30% decrease in tumor burden, in the absence of CR.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Extracranial ORR
Time Frame:Up to 48 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Extracranial ORR, defined as the proportion of patients with either a CR or PR in their extracranial disease based on two consecutive assessments ≥ 4 weeks apart, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
Measure:Overall ORR

Safety Issue:
Description:Overall ORR, defined as the proportion of patients with either a CR or PR in their overall disease (i.e. including intracranial and extracranial disease) based on two consecutive assessments ≥ 4 weeks apart, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
Measure:Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame:Up to 48 months
Safety Issue:

Measure:Duration of Response (DOR)
Time Frame:Up to 48 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Intracranial, extracranial and overall DOR, defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response based on two consecutive assessments ≥ 4 weeks apart to disease progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
Measure:Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Time Frame:Up to 48 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Intracranial, extracranial and overall DCR, defined as the proportion of patients with a CR or PR or stable disease (SD) at 16 weeks from study treatment initiation, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for CR or PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for disease progression. Disease progression is defined as ≥20% increase in tumor burden.

Time Frame:Up to 48 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The safety profile of Cobimetinib plus Atezolizumab and Cobimetinib plus Atezolizumab plus Vemurafenib is evaluated in terms of occurrence and severity of AEs. Severity will be determined according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.0 (NCI CTCAE v4.0)
Measure:Number of participants reporting change from baseline in targeted vital signs
Time Frame:Up to 48 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The safety profile of Cobimetinib plus Atezolizumab and Cobimetinib plus Atezolizumab plus Vemurafenib is evaluated in terms of number of participants reporting change from baseline in targeted vital signs e.g. ECG and blood pressure.
