Popis: The IMpower trials reported significant effects of atezolizumab-containing chemotherapies on Caucasian patients. Chinese patients differ from their Western counterparts in terms of driver mutations, etiologies, and regimen tolerance. In China, atezolizumab-containing chemotherapies are not cost-effective. Atezolizumab addition triggers grade3 adverse events. Here, we evaluated the effectiveness and the safety profile of atezolizumab plus carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel compared to carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel in treatment-naïve Chinese patients with confirmed stage IV, non-squamous, non-small-cell lung cancer. All patients completed six cycles of 1200 mg of atezolizumab/3 weeks plus 6 mg/ml/min area-under-the-curve carboplatin/3 weeks plus 100 mg/m
