This open-label, randomized, parallel group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone or prednisone (CHOP) chemotherapy versus rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan) with CHOP in previously untreated participants with cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Participants will be randomized to receive either obinutuzumab 1000 milligrams (mg) intravenously (IV) every 21 days or rituximab 375 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) IV every 21 days for 8 cycles, in addition to 6-8 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy IV every 21 days. Participants randomized to the obinutuzumab arm will receive an additional two doses on Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1. Anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.
Rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m\^2, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 8 cycles.
Obinutuzumab 1000 mg IV infusion, administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 8 cycles. During Cycle 1, obinutuzumab was also infused on Days 8 and 15.
Cyclophosphamide 750 milligrams per square metre (mg/m\^2), administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
Doxorubicin 50 mg/m\^2 IV, administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
Vincristine 1.4 mg/m\^2 (maximum 2 mg) IV, administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
Prednisone 100 mg (or equivalent prednisolone or methylprednisolone), administered orally on Days 1-5 of each 21-day cycle.
