Atezolizumab and BEvacizumab With STereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab With Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

To determine the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab-bevacizumab combination therapy plus stereotactic body radiotherapy(SBRT) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, Subjects will start SBRT for one or more primary cancers and/or metastatic lesions and no more than 5 sites within two month before and after the start date of atezolizumab-bevacizumab combination therapy.

In this study, it is expected to improve the treatment response rate of atezolizumab-bevacizumab therapy, which is currently first-line chemotherapy but has a low treatment response rate.

The subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who are indicated for the first-line atezolizumab-bevacizumab combination therapy are the primary subjects, and if they voluntarily agree to the clinical trial after explanation of the clinical trial, they are included in the clinical trial. Subjects should begin SBRT(stereotactic body radiotherapy) to one or more but not more than five sites for primary cancer and/or metastatic lesions within two month before and after the start date of atezolizumab-bevacizumab combination therapy.

The followings are evaluation items for each visit.
