Number of Deaths Due to Adverse Events (AEs)
Baseline - 90 days after last dose of study treatment

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

Number of Treatment Discontinuations Due to AE
Baseline - 90 days after last dose of study treatment

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

Proportion of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Baseline - 90 days after last dose of study treatment

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

Proportion of Participants With Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) by Grade of Severity
Baseline - 90 days after last dose of study treatment

Severity of CRS was determined according to the American Society for Transplantation and Cell Therapy (ASTCT) Consensus Grading Criteria, in which Grade 1 as fever (≥38.0°C) with or without other symptoms; Grade 2 as fever with hypotension not requiring vasopressors and/or hypoxia requiring the use of oxygen (low-flow); and Grade 3 as fever with hypotension requiring one vasopressor with or without vasopressin and/or hypoxia requiring the use of oxygen (high-flow).

Polatuzumab VedotinEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive Glofitamab in combination with polatuzumab vedotin up to the MTD.
Imaging Sub-studyEXPERIMENTALParticipants will undergo positive-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) at screening, followed by an "Imaging Cycle," to replace Cycle 1 of the main study. Eligible participants will have the option roll-over to the atezolizumab arm of the main study from Cycle 2 onwards.
Part 1: Dose Escalation r/r NHLEXPERIMENTALDose finding in participants with r/r NHL: the study will explore different doses of glofitamab in the induction period, starting at a dose of 70 mcg administered in combination with standard of care doses of G/R CHOP and R-CHOP every 3 weeks (Q3W). Participants with r/r NHL will receive 6 cycles of induction treatment (G/R-CHOP). Glofitamab will be administered using step-up dosing for Cycle 2 on Days 8 and 15, followed by single doses on Day 8 for Cycles 3-6. Participants who achieve a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) at the end of induction (EOInd) may optionally receive post-induction treatment (referred to as maintenance) with glofitamab alone. The use of G versus R in Cycle 1 will be compared in parallel dose escalation cohorts.
