Key clinical point: The efficacy and safety profile of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in routine clinical practice is similar to that reported in the phase 3 IMbrave150 study.
Major finding: After a median follow-up of 10.0 months, the median overall survival was 15.7 months (95% CI 14.50-not estimated) and the progression-free survival was 6.9 months (95% CI 6.10-8.30). Among response-evaluable patients (n = 273), 30.8% achieved an objective response. Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 23.6% of patients.
Study details: This multicenter prospective observational study, AB-Real, included 296 patients who received first-line atezolizumab plus bevacizumab for unresectable HCC.
Disclosures: This study received no specific funding. Some authors declared serving as consultants, advisors, or receiving lecture fees, advisory board honoraria, research grants, or travel or accommodation expenses from various sources.
