Inclusion Criteria
  • Participants with a first diagnosis of HCC who have undergone either a curative resection or ablation (radiofrequency ablation [RFA] or microwave ablation [MVA] only) within 4-12 weeks prior to randomization
  • Documented diagnosis of HCC that has been completely resected or ablated (RFA or MVA only)
  • Absence of major macrovascular invasion (except Vp1/Vp2) and extrahepatic spread
  • Absence of extrahepatic spread as confirmed by CT or MRI scan of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and head prior to and following curative procedure
  • Full recovery from surgical resection or ablation within 4 weeks prior to randomization
  • High risk for HCC recurrence after resection or ablation
  • For patients who received post-operative transarterial chemoembolization: full recovery from the procedure within 4 weeks prior to randomization
  • For patients with resected HCC, availability of a representative baseline tumor tissue sample
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1
  • Child-Pugh Class A status
  • Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
  • For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods

Exclusion Criteria
  • Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC

  • History of malignancy other than HCC within 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death
  • Active tuberculosis
  • Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the patient at high risk from treatment complications
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab or within 6 months after the final dose of bevacizumab. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS), as Determined by IRFBaseline up to approximately 33 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
RFS as Determined by the InvestigatorBaseline up to approximately 91 months

RFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented occurrence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic HCC as determined by an investigator, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).

RFS Rate at 24 and 36 Months, as Assessed by the IRFRandomization up to 24 months and up to 36 months
OS Rate at 24 and 36 MonthsBaseline to 24 and 36 months

OS rate defined as the proportion of patients who have not experienced death from any cause at 24 and 36 months after randomization.

Overall Survival (OS)Baseline up to approximately 91 months

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

RFS Rate at 24 and 36 Months, as Assessed by the InvestigatorRandomization up to 24 months and up to 36 months
