Atezolizumab and BEvacizumab With STereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (A-BEST)

October 30, 2024 updated by: Hwa Kyung Byun, Yonsei University

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.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

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.

Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who are indicated for the first-line atezolizumab-bevacizumab combination therapy are the primary subjects, and they should begin stereotactic 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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free survival at 6 month
Time Frame: 6 months after registration
The primary endpoint is to improve 6-month progression-free survival rate in the treatment group compared to those existing literature. Progression-free survival and overall survival are evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier curve. Verified through one sample proportion test.
6 months after registration

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival
Time Frame: 36 months after registration
Progression-free survival and overall survival are evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier curve. Verified through one sample proportion test.
36 months after registration
Objective response rate
Time Frame: 36 months after registration
Objective response rate will be ratepresented as a proportion of the total.
36 months after registration
Adverse event (Toxicity)
Time Frame: 36 months after registration
Toxicity will be evaluated using CTCAE version 5.0 and presented as a proportion of the total.
36 months after registration
Tumor marker response: AFP, PIVKA-II
Time Frame: 36 months after registration
Tumor markers and biological markers are descriptive as statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and median for continuous data will be presented, and changes in values before and after treatment will be compared and evaluated using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test.
36 months after registration
