Abstract 5097: Effectiveness and safety of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: A multicenter, retrospective real-world study in China

Abstract

Abstract Background: Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Atezo+Bev) has shown better benefits than sorafenib as the first-line treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) in IMbrave 150. However, the real-world evidence of Atezo+Bev in uHCC is limited, especially in China. We aimed to investigate the real-world effectiveness and safety of Atezo+Bev in Chinese patients with uHCC. Methods: Patients with uHCC treated with Atezo+Bev were included at 5 centers in China from Jan. 2021 to Jan. 2023. Overall response (ORR), organ-specific response rate (OSRR), disease control rates (DCR), time to disease progression (TPP), progression-free survival (PFS), metastasis-specific PFS and overall survival (OS) were calculated. Results: Among 48 patients, the median age was 58.4 years with 85.4% being male. A total of 35 and 13 patients received Atezo+Bev as 1st and 2nd line treatment, respectively. The median number of treatment cycles were 8, and 27 (56.3%) patients received locoregional therapies. Detailed treatment response is in the Table. The overall ORR and DCR assessed by mRECIST were 60.4% and 75.0%, while the intra- and extrahepatic OSRR were 59.4% and 62.5%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 14.5 months, the median PFS was 8.5 months (95%CI: 4.4, 11.2) in 1st line setting and 5.1 months (95%CI: 2.1, 7.9) in 2nd line setting. Median intra- and extrahepatic metastasis-specific PFS were 7.9 and 7.6 months, respectively. Median overall TTP was 7.6 months. The median OS was not reached. A total of 36 patients (75%) experienced any grade adverse events, most commonly being thrombocytopenia (27.1%, n=13), lymphopenia (25%, n=12) and abnormal liver function (14.6%, n=7). Conclusion: This study confirmed effectiveness and safety of Atezo+Bev in the 1st line treatment of uHCC, and observed its potential in 2nd line in a real-world setting. Further studies are warranted to confirm these observations and refine treatment strategies. Table.
