Brief Summary
This phase II trial tests whether subcutaneous atezolizumab can be effectively given at home with medical care provided primarily using telemedicine in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This study may help determine if a telemedicine based approach that gives atezolizumab at home using a version of the drug designed for subcutaneous injection under the skin is safe and feasible.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Incidence of adverse events (AEs) of home administration by a healthcare provider (HCP) of subcutaneous atezolizumab
Determined by rates of grade 3 or greater non-hematologic AE assessment by clinical assessment. Grading will be based on the NCI CTCAE v5.0 .
Up to 30 days after last dose
Successful completion of home drug administration visits within the specified window
The number of successfully completed home visits per patient and the number of patients who successfully completed all home administrations will be calculated and reported.
Up to 2 years
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Patient satisfaction with home administration of atezolizumab
At end of cycle 3 and cycle 6 (each cycle is 21 days)
Healthcare provider and mobile nurse satisfaction with home administration of atezolizumab
At end of cycle 3 and cycle 6 (each cycle is 21 days)
Other Outcomes (2)
Overall response rate
Up to 2 years
Progression free survival rate
Up to 2 years
Study Arms (1)
Treatment (atezolizumab and recombinant human hyaluronidase)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive atezolizumab and recombinant human hyaluronidase SC over 3-8 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks for 1 year (early-stage lung cancer) or up to 2 years (late-stage lung cancer) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who are eligible for treatment with atezolizumab for approved indications. These include the following:
- Locally advanced or metastatic 1st line patients whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression (PD-L1 stained \>= 50% of tumor cells \[TC \>= 50%\] or PD-L1 stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells \[IC\] covering \>= 10% of the tumor area \[IC \>= 10%\]), as determined by an Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - approved test, with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations
- For the treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC who have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy. Patients with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations should have disease progression on FDA-approved therapy for NSCLC harboring these aberrations prior to receiving
- For adjuvant treatment following resection and platinum-based chemotherapy for adult patients with stage II to IIIA NSCLC whose tumors have PD-L1 expression on \>= 1% of tumor cells, as determined by an FDA-approved test
- Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial
- Be at least 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent
- Have detectable disease based on computed tomography (CT) and/or positron emission tomography (PET) scan
- Have ready access wifi or cellular data plan
- Have a performance status of 0-2 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scale
- Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment
- Life expectancy \>= 3 months
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1.5 x 10\^9/L (1500/uL) without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support (obtained within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment)
- Lymphocyte count \>= 0.5 x 10\^9/L (500/uL) (obtained within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment)
- Platelet count \>= 100 x 10\^9/L (100,000/uL) without transfusion (obtained within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment)
- Hemoglobin \>= 90 g/L (9 g/dL) (obtained within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment)
- +15 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- History of leptomeningeal disease
- Untreated or treatment refractory brain metastases
- Uncontrolled tumor-related pain
- Patients requiring pain medication must be on a stable regimen at study entry
- Symptomatic lesions (e.g., bone metastases or metastases causing nerve impingement) amenable to palliative radiotherapy should be treated prior to enrollment. Patients should be recovered from the effects of radiation. There is no required minimum recovery period
- Asymptomatic metastatic lesions that would likely cause functional deficits or intractable pain with further growth (e.g., epidural metastasis that is not currently associated with spinal cord compression) should be considered for loco-regional therapy if appropriate prior to enrollment
- Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (once monthly or more frequently)
- Patients with indwelling catheters (e.g., PleurX) are allowed
- Patients with known HIV test at screening are eligible provided they are stable on anti-retroviral therapy, have a CD4 count \>= 200/uL, and have an undetectable viral load
- Uncontrolled or symptomatic hypercalcemia (ionized calcium \> 1.5 mmol/L, calcium \> 12 mg/dL or corrected serum calcium \> ULN)
- Active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Sjogren syndrome, Guillain-Barre syndrome, or multiple sclerosis, with the following exceptions:
- Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism who are on thyroid-replacement hormone are eligible for the study
- Patients with controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus who are on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study
- Patients with eczema, psoriasis, lichen simplex chronicus, or vitiligo with dermatologic manifestations only (e.g., patients with psoriatic arthritis are excluded) are eligible for the study provided all of following conditions are met:
- Rash must cover \< 10% of body surface area
- +25 more criteria
