Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab versus Sorafenib for Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Results from Older Adults Enrolled in the IMbrave150 Randomized Clinical Trial

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The efficacy of systemic first-line treatments in older adults with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been well-studied. We compared the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib as a first-line treatment in younger versus older patients with unresectable HCC.

Methods

This global, phase 3, open-label, randomized clinical trial (IMbrave150) recruited patients aged ≥18 years with locally advanced metastatic or unresectable HCC, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0 or 1, and Child-Pugh class A liver function who had not previously received systemic therapy for liver cancer. Patients received either 1,200 mg atezolizumab plus 15 mg/kg bevacizumab intravenously every 3 weeks or 400 mg sor
