Accepts Healthy Volunteers
No

- Disease that is not amenable to curative surgical and/or locoregional therapies, or progressive disease after surgical and /or locoregional therapies;
- No prior systemic therapy for HCC;
- At least one measurable untreated lesion;
- Patients who received prior local therapy are eligible provided the target lesion(s) have not been previously treated with local therapy or the target lesion(s) within the field of local therapy have subsequently progressed in accordance with RECIST version 1.1;

In case of varices at high risk of bleeding (corresponding to medium (F2) or large (F3) varices, or F1 varices with cherry red spots or red wale marking) prophylatic treatment per local standard of care must be adopted prior to enrollment. Patients who have undergone an EGD within 6 months of prior to initiation of study treatment do not need to repeat the procedure provided they had no varices at high risk of bleeding;
- Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
- Resolution of any acute, clinically significant treatment-related toxicity from prior therapy to Grade <= 1 prior to study entry, with the exception of alopecia
- Negative HIV test at screening with the following exception: patients with a positive HIV test at screening are eligible provided they are stable on anti-retroviral therapy, have a CD4 count ≥200µL, and have an undetectable viral load;
- In patients with viral HCC, documented virology status of hepatitis, as confirmed by screening HBV and HCV serology test;
- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods, and agreement to refrain from donating eggs.
- For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive measures, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm.

- Active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency;
- History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan;
- Known active tuberculosis;
- Significant cardiovascular disease within 3 months prior to initiation of study treatment, unstable arrhythmia, or unstable angina;
- 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;
- Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation;
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding, or intention of becoming pregnant during study treatment or within at least 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab and 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab;

- Clinically evident ascites;
- Co-infection of HBV and HCV;
- Co-infection with HBV and hepatitis D viral infection;
- Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metastases;
