Our Experience with Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab for Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

We report our experience with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

METHODS: Fourteen patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab at our department were retrospectively evaluated for antitumor efficacy and adverse events.

RESULTS: Age ranged from 66-91 years(median 77.5 years), 11 males and 3 females, number of doses ranged from 2-26(median 13), and observation period ranged from 31-790 days (median 427 days). Antitumor efficacy was CR in 3 patients, PR in 3, SD in 6, and PD in 2. One patient with PD died 650 days after the start of treatment, but the others are still alive. Adverse events included proteinuria in 9 patients who discontinued bevacizumab, hypothyroidism requiring levothyroxine sodium hydrate in 7 patients, dermatitis in 2 patients, and colitis requiring hospitalization in 2 patients.

DISCUSSION: Despite the small number of cases, a high antitumor effect was observed with a CR rate of 21%. Although proteinuria and hypothyroidism were observed relatively frequently as adverse events, they were easily controlled and did not pose a major clinical problem.
