About this trial

Study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab as neoadjuvant plus adjuvant treatment in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed Informed Consent Form.

Age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing Informed Consent Form.

Ability to fully comply with the protocol, in the investigator's judgment.

Diagnosis of HCC confirmed by histology.

Disqualifiers

Presence of extrahepatic disease or macrovascular invasion.

Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC, or other rare variants of HCC.

History of hepatic encephalopathy if clinically significant within one year prior to screening.

CSPH in candidates for major resection (more than 3 segments).

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab

    Drug

    Participants will receive up to three 3 atezolizumab doses (days 10, 31, 52) and 2 bevacizumab dose (days 10 and 31) until surgery or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first (neoadjuvant therapy). The adjuvant therapy with Atezo + Bev will start between 4 and 12 weeks after the resection date, once the participant has fully recovered from the surgery. Participants will receive up to 12 months or 17 cycles of treatment, whichever occurs first, or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Recurrence-free survival (RFS)

Measured by RFS, defined as the time from randomization to the first documented recurrence of disease according to RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST by the investigator's radiology team, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).

Time frame
From randomization to the first documented recurrence of disease or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years.

Secondary outcomes

1

Pathological response

Measured by MPR rate, defined as the proportion of participants with \> 70% necrosis of tumor in the tumor bed at the time of surgery, as assessed by central pathological review.

Time frame
Surgery
2

Pathological response

Measured by complete pathological response (pCR) rate, defined as the proportion of participants with an absence of residual tumor at the time of surgery, as assessed by central pathological review.

Time frame
Surgery
3

Overall Survival (OS)

Measured by OS, defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

Time frame
From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years.
4

Efficacy of neoadjuvant with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab treatment combinations

Measured by Event-free survival (EFS), defined as time from randomization to predefined event, that may include disease progression/toxicity precluding surgery, relapse \[ both assessed according to RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST by the investigator's radiology team\] or death.

Time frame
From randomization to predefined event or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years.
