Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06096779
Lead Sponsor
Genentech, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab and bevacizumab, or atezolizumab alone, as first-line treatment in participants with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with Child-Pugh B7 or B8 cirrhosis.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase II, open-label, multicohort, multicenter study in participants with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have Child-Pugh B7 or B8 liver cirrhosis and have received no prior systemic therapy in this treatment setting. The study is designed to non-comparatively evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Cohort A) or atezolizumab monotherapy (Cohort B) in this population.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants with Adverse EventsBaseline through the end of the study (up to approximately 36 months)

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant temporally associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Severity is determined according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0) in Cohort A and B

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression Free Survival (PFS)Baseline up to approximately 36 months

Investigator-assessed PFS is defined as the time from treatment initiation to the first occurrence of disease progression with the use of RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, in Cohorts A and B.

Duration of Response (DOR)Baseline up to approximately 36 months

Investigator-assessed DOR is defined as the time from the first occurrence of a confirmed objective response to the time of disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, with the use of RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST in Cohorts A and B

Overall Survival (OS)Baseline up to approximately 36 months

OS is defined as the time from treatment initiation to the date of death due to any cause in Cohorts A and B.

Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 ScoresBaseline up to approximately 36 months

The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life-Core 30 Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) is a validated, reliable self-reported measure. It consists of 30 questions that assess five aspects of participant functioning, three symptom scales, global health status and quality of life (QoL), and six single items with a recall period of the previous week. Scale scores can be obtained for the multi-item scales. The functioning and symptoms items are scored on a 4-point scale that ranges from "not at all" to "very much," and the global health status and QoL items are scored on a 7-point scale that ranges from "very poor" to "excellent."

Percentage of Patient-Reported Overall Adverse Event BurdenBaseline up to approximately 36 months

The EORTC IL46 is a single question that assesses bother (burden) of treatment. It is rated on a scale from 1 to 4, ranging from "not at all" to "very much".

Objective Response Rate (ORR)Baseline up to approximately 36 months

Investigator-assessed confirmed ORR is defined as proportion of participants with a complete response/partial response (CR/PR) on two consecutive occasions ≥ 4 weeks apart with the use of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) in Cohorts A and B.

Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ-HCC18 ScoresBaseline up to approximately 36 months

The EORTC QLQ-HCC18 is a disease-specific measure designed for use along with the EORTC QLQ-C30 in patients with HCC. It contains six multi-item symptom scales, and two single-item scales for a total of 18 questions with a recall period the past week.

Change from baseline in PRO-CTCAE ScoresBaseline up to approximately 36 months

The Patient-Reported Outcomes Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) is a validated item bank that is used to characterize the presence, frequency of occurrence, severity, and/or degree of interference with daily function of 78 patient-reportable symptomatic treatment toxicities.
