Eligibility

Inclusion

  • Histologically confirmed muscle-invasive UC (also termed transitional cell carcinoma) of the bladder or upper urinary tract (i.e., renal pelvis or ureters)
  • For participants treated with prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy: tumor stage of ypT2-4a or ypN+ (ypT2-4 or ypN+ for participants with upper urinary tract UC) and M0

  • Representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor specimens from surgical resection (i.e., radical cystectomy, nephroureterectomy, or lymph node dissection) in paraffin blocks (blocks preferred) or at least 15 unstained slides, with an associated pathology report, for central testing and determined to be evaluable for tumor programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression prior to study enrollment
  • Absence of residual disease and absence of metastasis, as confirmed by a negative baseline computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging scan of the pelvis, abdomen, and chest no more than 4 weeks prior to randomization

  • Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
  • For women who are not postmenopausal or surgically sterile: agreement to remain abstinent or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of less than (<) 1 percent (%) per year during the treatment period and for at least 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab

Exclusion

  • Any approved anti-cancer therapy within 3 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
  • Adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy for UC following surgical resection

  • Known hypersensitivity to biopharmaceuticals produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells or any component of the atezolizumab formulation
  • History of autoimmune disease
  • Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplant
  • History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT scan
  • Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus and/or active hepatitis B or hepatitis C or tuberculosis
  • Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before Cycle 1 Day 1
  • Prior treatment with cluster of differentiation 137 (CD137) agonists or immune checkpoint blockade therapies, including anti-CD40, anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (anti-CTLA-4), anti-programmed death-1 (anti-PD-1), and anti-PD-L1 therapeutic antibodies
