The current study evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab in patients with advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma in a real-world setting.This retrospective study enrolled 23 patients. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Antitumor responses 6 weeks after initiation of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab were assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and the modified RECIST (mRECIST). The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 was used to evaluate the severity of adverse events. Relative changes in hepatic function and nutritional status were investigated.The median PFS was 119 days. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) at 6 weeks based on RECIST were 21.7% and 60.9%, respectively. The ORR and DCR based on mRECIST were 26.1% and 69.6%, respectively. The group with hepatitis B/C-related HCC had a higher ORR based on mRECIST than the non-hepatitis B and C-related group. Patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A and B disease had a higher DCR based on RECIST than those with BCLC stage C disease. The incidence rates of any grade and grade ≥3 adverse events were 65.2% and 21.7%, respectively. The albumin-bilirubin and Child-Pugh scores, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and skeletal muscle index did not significantly worsen within 6 weeks after treatment initiation.Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab is effective and safe and can help achieve complete remission in patients with advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma in a real-world setting. Nevertheless, large-scale studies must be conducted to validate its outcomes in this patient group. |
