    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Median Time to Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Investigator-Assessed [Baseline up to approximately 6.5 years (up to 31 January 2018)]

      Kaplan Meier estimate of the median PFS was defined as the time at which half of the participants have progressed (progressive disease [PD]). Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization until the first documented day of disease progression or relapse, using a modified version of the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, on the basis of investigator assessments. Progression was defined as at least 50% increase in nodal lesions or >/=50% increase in any node > 1 centimeter (cm) or >/= 50% increase in other target measurable lesions (e.g., splenic or hepatic nodules) and/or appearance of any new bone marrow involvement and/or appearance of any new lesion > 1.5 cm or >/= 50% increase in any previously involved node with a diameter </= 1 cm such that it is now >1.5 cm. Tumor measurements were obtained by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Median Time to Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Independent Review Committee (IRC)-Assessed [Baseline up to approximately 4 years and 9 months (up to 29 April 2016)]

      Kaplan Meier estimate of median PFS was defined as time at which half of participants have progressed (progressive disease [PD]). Progression-free survival was defined as time from randomization until first documented day of disease progression or relapse, using a modified version of Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, on basis of IRC assessments. Progression was defined as at least 50% increase in nodal lesions or >/=50% increase in any node > 1 cm or >/= 50% increase in other target measurable lesions (e.g., splenic or hepatic nodules) and/or appearance of any new bone marrow involvement and/or appearance of any new lesion > 1.5 cm or >/= 50% increase in any previously involved node with diameter </= 1 cm such that it is now >1.5 cm. Tumor measurements were obtained by CT or MRI. This outcome measure used data from primary analysis which included all 1418 participants.

    2. Median Time to Overall Survival (OS) [Baseline up to approximately 6.5 years (up to 31 January 2018)]

      Kaplan Meier estimate of median OS was defined as the time at which half of the participants had died, regardless of the cause of death. Overall survival in the overall study population was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.

    3. Overall Response Rate (ORR), Investigator-Assessed [Baseline up to approximately 6.5 years (up to 31 January 2018)]

      Overall response was determined on the basis of investigator assessments according to the International Working Group (IWG) Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma, 2007. Tumor assessments were performed with CT/MRI with or without PET. Overall response was defined as the disappearance of all evidence of disease, regression of measurable disease, and no new sites.

    4. Overall Response Rate (ORR), IRC-Assessed [Baseline up to approximately 4 years and 9 months (up to 29 April 2016)]

      Overall response was determined on the basis of IRC assessments according to the International Working Group (IWG) Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma, 2007. Tumor assessments were performed with CT/MRI with or without PET. Overall response was defined as the disappearance of all evidence of disease, regression of measurable disease, and no new sites. This outcome measure used data from primary analysis which included all 1418 participants.

    5. Complete Response (CR) at the End of Treatment, Investigator-Assessed [Baseline up to approximately 6.5 years (up to 31 January 2018)]

      Percentage of participants with complete response was determined on the basis of investigator assessments according to the International Working Group (IWG) Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma, 2007. Tumor assessments were performed with CT/MRI with or without PET. Complete response was defined as the disappearance of all evidence of disease.

    6. Complete Response (CR) at the End of Treatment, IRC-Assessed [Baseline up to approximately 4 years and 9 months (up to 29 April 2016)]

      Percentage of participants with complete response was determined on the basis of IRC assessments according to the International Working Group (IWG) Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma, 2007. Tumor assessments were performed with CT/MRI with or without PET. Complete response was defined as the disappearance of all evidence of disease. This outcome measure used data from primary analysis which included all 1418 participants.

    7. Median Time to Event-Free Survival (EFS), Investigator-Assessed [Baseline up to death or disease progression, or initiation of new anti-lymphoma treatment (NALT), whichever occurred first, approximately 6.5 years (up to 31 January 2018)]

      Kaplan Meier estimate of median EFS is the time at which half of the participants have progressed. Event-free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of disease progression, relapse, initiation of a new non-protocol-specified anti-lymphoma treatment, or death from any cause on the basis of investigator assessments with the use of Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. Disease progression/relapse was defined as at least 50% increase in nodal lesions or >/=50% increase in any node > 1 centimeter (cm) or >/= 50% increase in other target measurable lesions (e.g., splenic or hepatic nodules) and/or appearance of any new bone marrow involvement and/or appearance of any new lesion > 1.5 cm or >/= 50% increase in any previously involved node with a diameter </= 1 cm such that it is now >1.5 cm. Tumor measurements were obtained by CT/MRI.

    8. Median Time to Disease-Free Survival (DFS), Investigator-Assessed [Baseline up to death or disease progression, whichever occurred first, approximately 6.5 years (up to 31 January 2018)]

      Kaplan Meier estimate of median DFS was defined as time at which half of participants have disease progression/relapse or death from any cause. Disease-free survival was defined as time from date of the first occurrence of a documented CR to date of disease progression/relapse or death from any cause on basis of investigator assessments with use of Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. Tumor assessments were performed with CT/MRI. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Progression/relapse was defined as at least 50% increase in nodal lesions or >/=50% increase in any node > 1 centimeter (cm) or >/= 50% increase in other target measurable lesions (e.g., splenic or hepatic nodules) and/or appearance of any new bone marrow involvement and/or appearance of any new lesion > 1.5 cm or >/= 50% increase in any previously involved node with a diameter </= 1 cm such that it is now >1.5 cm.

    9. Duration of Response (DOR), Investigator-Assessed [Baseline up to death or disease progression, whichever occurred first, approximately 6.5 years (up to 31 January 2018)]

      DOR: time from first occurrence of documented CR or PR to disease progression/relapse, or death from any cause for participants with a response of CR or PR. Tumor assessments were performed with CT/MRI. CR: disappearance of all target lesions. PR: >/=50% decrease target lesions in up to six dominant lesions identified at baseline, no new lesions and no increase in the size of the liver, spleen, or other nodes. Splenic and hepatic nodule regression >/= 50%. Progression/relapse: at least 50% increase in nodal lesions or >/=50% increase in any node > 1 cm or >/= 50% increase in other target lesions (e.g., splenic or hepatic nodules) and/or any new bone marrow involvement and/or any new lesion > 1.5 cm or >/= 50% increase in any previously involved node with a diameter </= 1 cm such that it is now >1.5 cm. A participant in the Rituximab+CHOP arm with the longest follow-up, 53 months, had an event. The criterion for median was the minimum time when survival went below 50%.

    10. Time to Next Anti-Lymphoma Treatment (TTNALT) [Baseline up to start of next anti-lymphoma treatment or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first, approximately 6.5 years (31 January 2018)]

      Time to next anti-lymphoma treatment was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the start date of the next anti-lymphoma treatment or death from any cause.

    11. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [Baseline up to approximately 6.5 years (up to 31 January 2018)]

      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. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

    12. Percentage of Participants With Human Anti-Human Antibodies (HAHAs) to Obinutuzumab [Pre-dose (Hour 0) on Cycle (C) 4 Day (D) 1, at end of treatment/early termination (up to Month 6), every 6 months thereafter for 30 months (cycle length = 21 days)]

      The presence of HAHAs to obinutuzumab was assessed in the first 100 randomized participants.

    13. Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma (FACT-Lym) Subscale Score [Baseline (pre-dose [Hour 0] on C1D1), C3D1, end of treatment (up to Month 6), every 12 months thereafter up to approximately 6.5 years, (cycle length = 21 days)]

      The FACT-Lym subscale was developed to assess health-related quality of life in participants with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The score range is 0-60, with higher scores indicating better outcomes. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    14. Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Domain Scores [Baseline (pre-dose [Hour 0] on C1D1), C3D1, end of treatment (up to Month 6), every 12 months thereafter up to data cut-off, up to approximately 6.5 years, (cycle length = 21 days)]

      The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a health-related quality of life questionnaire. A higher score indicates better quality of life, with changes of 5 to 10 points considered to be a minimally important difference to participants.

    15. Serum Concentrations of Obinutuzumab in Japanese Participants With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) [C1: D1 post-infusion and 20-28 and 66-80 hours after end of infusion, D8 and D15 pre-and post-infusion; C2: D1 pre- and post-infusion; C4: D1 pre- and post-infusion; C6: D1 pre- and post-infusion; C8: D1 pre- and post-infusion (cycle length = 21 days)]

      Serum samples for assessment of obinutuzumab serum concentrations were collected only from a subset of Japanese participants following administration of 1000 mg obinutuzumab.

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details
    Pre-assignment Detail A total of 1418 patients were randomized and included in the primary analyses (29 April 2016). A total of 1414 patients were included in the final analysis (31 January 2018), 710 in the R-CHOP arm and 704 in the G-CHOP arm; data from 4 patients were excluded because of serious GCP non-compliance at a single study site in China.
    Arm/Group Title Rituximab+Chemotherapy Obinutuzumab+Chemotherapy
    Arm/Group Description Participants received eight 21-day cycles of rituximab, combined with six or eight cycles of standard cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone/prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy (21-day cycles). Prior to study start, study centers chose whether they planned to administer 6 or 8 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy. Participants received eight 21-day cycles of obinutuzumab, combined with six or eight cycles of standard cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone/prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy (21-day cycles). Participants received an additional two doses of obinutuzumab on Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1. Prior to study start, study centers chose whether they planned to administer 6 or 8 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Median Time to Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Investigator-Assessed
    Description Kaplan Meier estimate of the median PFS was defined as the time at which half of the participants have progressed (progressive disease [PD]). Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization until the first documented day of disease progression or relapse, using a modified version of the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, on the basis of investigator assessments. Progression was defined as at least 50% increase in nodal lesions or >/=50% increase in any node > 1 centimeter (cm) or >/= 50% increase in other target measurable lesions (e.g., splenic or hepatic nodules) and/or appearance of any new bone marrow involvement and/or appearance of any new lesion > 1.5 cm or >/= 50% increase in any previously involved node with a diameter </= 1 cm such that it is now >1.5 cm. Tumor measurements were obtained by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
    Time Frame Baseline up to approximately 6.5 years (up to 31 January 2018)

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants, however because of serious Good Clinical Practice non-compliance at a single study site in China, all 4 participants enrolled at the site (2 in each treatment arm) were excluded from the final analysis.
