Paired recent biopsies at baseline (lesion not previously irradiated; within 3 months of randomization) and at progression disease will not be mandatory, nevertheless they are encouraged as long as these are feasible.

ULN.
14. Negative Test Results for Hepatitis
15. Toxicities related to previous treatments must be recovered to < grade 2 (with the exception of alopecia).
16. Female participants must be postmenopausal (≥ 12 months of non-therapyinduced amenorrhoea) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus, or who received therapeutic radiation to the pelvis) or otherwise have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of the first study treatment and agree to abstain from heterosexual intercourse or use single or combined contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of <1% per year during the whole treatment period of the study and for at least 5 months (if the last study dose contained atezolizumab) or 6 months (if the last study dose contained bevacizumab) after the last dose of study treatment. |
