November 14, 2025 updated by: Yunfei Yuan, Sun Yat-sen University

Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab Plus Transarterial Chemoembolization and Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy for Unresectable Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a Single-arm Phase 2 Clinical Trial

Atezolizumab and bevacizumab was approve for advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC). Whether the additional of transartial chemobolization and hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy will improve the response rate for those patients is still unknown. This phase 2 clinical trial aims to investigate the objective response rate for unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
