Treatment: Other - Atezolizumab
Treatment: Drugs - Cobimetinib
Treatment: Other - Atezolizumab
Treatment: Other - Atezolizumab

Experimental: Cohort A - Participants with disease progression on or after treatment with an anti-PD-1 agent will receive cobimetinib and atezolizumab treatment during 28-day cycles.

Treatment: Drugs: Cobimetinib
Cobimetinib, 60 mg orally once daily (QD) on Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle, until loss of clinical benefit

Treatment: Other: Atezolizumab
Atezolizumab, 840 mg intravenously on Day 15 of Cycle 1; thereafter Q2W on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 2 and all subsequent 28-day cycles, until loss of clinical benefit

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria

Disease-Specific Cohorts A and B:

* Histologically confirmed Stage IV (metastatic) or unresectable Stage IIIc BRAF V600 WT (locally advanced) melanoma
* Documentation of BRAF V600 mutation-negative status in melanoma tumor tissue (archival [< 5 years old] or newly obtained) through use of a clinical mutation test approved by the local health authority
* Measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
* Disease progression on or after treatment with a programmed death (PD)-1 inhibitor either as monotherapy or in combination with other agent(s)

Additional Disease-Specific Inclusion Criteria in Cohort B (Biopsy Cohort):

* Progressed on or after anti-PD-1 therapy within 12 weeks before study start
* Received a minimum of two cycles of anti-PD-1 therapy
* Meet the following criteria for resistance to an anti-PD-1 agent: primary resistance defined as disease progression, according to RECIST v1.1, as best response; secondary resistance defined as disease progression after initial confirmed response according to RECIST v1.1
* Consent to undergo tumor biopsies of accessible lesions, before and during treatment and at radiographic progression, for biomarker analyses.
* Have at least two accessible lesions that are amenable to excisional or core-needle (minimum three cores and minimum diameter 18 gauge; however, 16 gauge is desirable) biopsy without unacceptable risk of a major procedural complication. Exceptions may be made if patient has only one lesion that allows multiple biopsies.

Disease-Specific Cohort C:

* Histologically confirmed Stage IV (metastatic) or unresectable Stage IIIc BRAFV600-WT (locally advanced) melanoma
* Naive to prior systemic anti-cancer therapy for melanoma
* Documentation of BRAFV600 mutation-negative status in melanoma tumor tissue (archival [< 5 years old] or newly obtained) through use of a clinical mutation test approved by the local health authority
* A representative, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimen in a paraffin block (preferred) or 20 slides containing unstained, freshly cut, serial sections must be submitted along with an associated pathology report prior to study entry.
* Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1.

General

* Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1
* Available and adequate baseline tumor tissue sample
