• •10. Prior treatment with an adenovirus-based gene therapy.
• •11. Use of any investigational agents within 21 days of the first dose of LOAd703/atezolizumab.
• •12. The use of systemic immunostimulatory agents (including, but not limited to, interferons and IL2) are prohibited within 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of the first dose of LOAd703/atezolizumab.
• •13. Failed resolution/improvement of AEs including those related to anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 to grade 0-1 and requirement for treatment with \>10 mg/day prednisone (or equivalent) for at least two weeks prior to registration.
• •14. History of CTCAE grade 4 immune-related AEs from monotherapy using an anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 antibody.
• •15. History of CTCAE grade 4 AE that require steroid treatment (\>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) for \>12 weeks.
• •17. Women who are pregnant (as confirmed by pregnancy test during screening in applicable patients), breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study period, or women of childbearing potential who are not using acceptable highly effective contraceptive methods. A woman is considered of childbearing potential if she is not surgically sterile or is less than 1 year since her last menstrual period. The following are acceptable as highly effective contraceptive methods: combined (estrogen- and progesterone-containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal), progesterone-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable), intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion and vasectomized partner or abstinence of heterosexual intercourse during the entire study period (depending on the preferred and usual life style of the subject).
• •19. Known active hepatitis B or C infection, or HIV infection.
• •20. Patients with active, severe autoimmune disease or immune deficiency or previous Guillain-Barré syndrome. 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:
• •1. Rash must cover \<10% of body surface area.
• •2. Disease is well-controlled at baseline and requires only low-potency topical corticosteroids.
• •3. Occurrence of acute exacerbations of the underlying condition requiring psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation, methotrexate, retinoids, biologic agents, oral calcineurin inhibitors, or high-potency or oral corticosteroids within the previous 12 months.
• •21. History of leptomeningeal disease.
• •22. Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (once monthly or more frequently).
• •23. History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan or tested reduced functional respiration capacity. However, history of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted.
• •24. Unstable angina, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, recent (within 3 months) history of myocardial infarction or stroke, or New York Class III/IV congestive heart failure.
• •25. Major surgical procedure other than for the malignant melanoma diagnosis, within 4 weeks prior to initiation of the study treatment, or anticipation of the need for a major surgical procedure during the study.

• •28. Known hypersensitivity to CHO cell products or any component of the atezolizumab formulation.
• •29. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, psychiatric illness/social situations that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise compliance to study requirements or put the patient at unacceptable risk.

• •31. Live, attenuated vaccines (e.g., FluMist®) are prohibited within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, during treatment, and for 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab and/or LOAd703.
