The treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has radically changed after the approval of the combination of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab as first-line treatment. A strong preclinical rationale exists to support the combination of bevacizumab, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monoclonal antibody (mAb), and atezolizumab, an anti-programmed death ligand 1 mAb. The efficacy of the combination was first assessed in the phase Ib GO30140 study, and the combination was then proven superior to the prior standard of care, sorafenib, in the phase III IMbrave150 trial.

Abstract
The treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has radically changed after the approval of the combination of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab as first-line treatment. A strong preclinical rationale exists to support the combination of bevacizumab, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monoclonal antibody (mAb), and atezolizumab, an anti-programmed death ligand 1 mAb. The efficacy of the combination was first assessed in the phase Ib GO30140 study, and the combination was then proven superior to the prior standard of care, sorafenib, in the phase III IMbrave150 trial.File in questo prodotto:
