Brief Summary

The standard first line therapy was changed from lenvatinib to the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab during the trial, resulting in a dramatic drop in the number of patients entered, with only 20 patients enrolled. Because of these reasons, the incidence of hand-foot syndrome, the primary endpoint of the study, was not significantly different among the 20 patients enrolled in the study.
