Number of Participants With Positive Human Anti-Human Antibodies (HAHA)	For the detection of HAHA, serum samples were initially analyzed using a validated enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method (screening assay, tier 1). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) in undiluted serum was 18.4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). The precision ranged from 4.85 percent (%) to 16.0%. In serum samples found positive, the presence of specific anti-obinutuzumab antibodies was confirmed or excluded using the same ELISA method with an appropriate immunocompetition step (addition of excess obinutuzumab, confirmation assay, tier 2). Samples were confirmed as containing specific anti-obinutuzumab antibodies if there was a signal reduction ≥85.7% in the presence of obinutuzumab.	Cycle 1 (Day 1), Cycle 4 (Day 1), 4-week follow-up, 3 and 6 month follow-up
Number of Participants With Positive Human Anti-Chimeric Antibodies (HACA)	Serum concentrations of HACA against rituximab were determined by ELISA. The LLOQ in undiluted serum was 5.00 relative units per milliliter (RU/mL). The precision and accuracy of the assay, as determined from the analysis of quality control samples, were satisfactory throughout the study; precision ranged from 6.4% to 13.6% and accuracy ranged from 88.2% to 94.8%.	Cycle 1, Day 1
Number of Participants With B-cell Depletion or Recovery	Depletion is defined as cluster of differentiation (CD) 19+ B-cell count <0.07 x10^9/L.Recovery is defined as CD19+ B-cell equal to or greater than 0.07 x 10^9/L.	Screening, Cycle 1 (Days 1,8), Cycle 2 (Day 1), Cycle 4 (Day 1), Cycle 6 (Day 1), Cycle 8 (Day 1), 4 weeks after last dose of study drug and every 3 months after last dose of study drug up to 1 year
Duration of Depletion of CD19+ B-cell	Depletion is defined as CD19+ B-cell count < 0.07 x 10^9/L. The duration of depletion is defined as the number of days between first assessment of B-cell depletion and the first assessment where CD19+ cell count returned to at least the depletion level from baseline and not followed by any further B-cell depletion. If participant did not return to above depletion level, then the cut off is at the time of last assessment.	Screening, Cycle 1 (Days 1,8), Cycle 2 (Day 1), Cycle 4 (Day 1), Cycle 6 (Day 1), Cycle 8 (Day 1), 4 weeks after last dose of study drug and every 3 months after last dose of study drug up to 1 year
Time to Recovery of CD19+ B-cell	Recovery is defined as CD19+ B-cell equal to or greater than 0.07 x 10^9/L. Time to recovery is defined as time between the beginning of depletion and first value after end of treatment that is equal or above 0.07x10^9/L and not exclusively followed by depleted values only. If participant did not return to above recovery level then set to Null.	Screening, Cycle 1 (Days 1,8), Cycle 2 (Day 1), Cycle 4 (Day 1), Cycle 6 (Day 1), Cycle 8 (Day 1), 4 weeks after last dose of study drug and every 3 months after last dose of study drug up to 1 year
