Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization into the study to death from any cause.
Randomization until death from any cause (approximately 42 months)
Secondary Outcomes (9)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Randomization until the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause whichever occurs first (approximately 42 months)
Confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Approximately 42 months
Time to Progression (TTP)
Randomization until the first occurrence of disease progression (approximately 42 months)
Duration of Response (DOR)
Time from the first occurrence of a confirmed documented objective response to disease progression or death from any cause whichever occurs first (approximately 42 months)
Time to confirmed deterioration (TTCD)
Randomization to first deterioration maintained for two consecutive assessments, or one assessment followed by death from any cause wthin 3 weeks or 6 weeks (approximately 42 months)
- +4 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Atezolizumab + Lenvatinib or Sorafenib
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive atezolizumab plus lenvatinib or sorafenib. Treatment will continue until unacceptable toxicity or loss of clinical benefit as determined by the investigator.
Lenvatinib or Sorafenib
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants will receive lenvatinib or sorafenib. Treatment will continue until unacceptable toxicity or loss of clinical benefit as determined by the investigator.
Interventions
Atezolizumab will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion at a fixed dose of 1200 mg on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until unacceptable toxicity or loss of clinical benefit as determined by the investigator.
Lenvatinib will be administered once daily by mouth each day of every 21-day study treatment cycle. Participants with a baseline body weight of \< 60 kg will receive a daily dose of 8 mg. Participants with a baseline body weight of ≥ 60 kg will receive a daily dose of 12 mg.
Sorafenib will be administered at a dose of 800 mg per day, i.e. two tablets of 200 mg swallowed by mouth twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 800 mg) each day of every 21-day study treatment cycle.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Locally advanced or metastatic and/or unresectable HCC with diagnosis confirmed by histology/ cytology or clinically by American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria in cirrhotic patients.
- Disease progression following prior atezolizumab plus bevacizumab combination treatment for HCC, for at least 4 consecutive treatment cycles, and 2 subsequent tumor assessments. It is required that at least 1 tumor assessment shows either stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR).
- At least one measurable (per RECIST v1.1) target lesion that has not been previously treated with local therapy or, if the target lesion is within the field of previous local therapy, has subsequently progressed in accordance with RECIST v1.1.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 1 within 7 days prior to randomization
- Child-Pugh class A within 7 days prior to randomization
- Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
You may not qualify if:
- Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metastases.
- History of leptomeningeal disease
- History of hepatic encephalopathy, preceding 6 months, unresponsive to therapy within 3 days
- Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC
- 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
