Brief Summary

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most prevalent cancer and the third most frequent cause of cancer-related death globally. This retrospective, multicentric study will be coordinated by Dr. Adrian Radu Vidra (Lead Investigator) from Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology "Prof. Dr. Octavian Fodor" Cluj-Napoca (Coordinating Site) to further investigate the clinical and demographic profile of patients receiving first-line treatment with atezolizumab and bevacizumab in the real-world setting of clinical practice from Romania. Participants already taking the combination therapy as part of their regular medical care for HCC will be followed during 3 years.

Study Arms (1)

Adult women and men (≥ 18 years of age) with proven initial diagnosis of HCC

Patients with HCC following treatment with ATZ plus BEV identified from the patient registry in the hospital with treatment charts between April 1, 2022- December 31, 2024 (index date).

Study Population

All adult patients with a diagnosis of advanced or unresectable HCC undergoing combined therapy with atezolizumab and bevacizumab.

You may qualify if:

  • Adult women and men (≥ 18 years of age) with proven initial diagnosis of HCC with evidence of loco-regional recurrent or advanced disease not amenable to resection.
  • At least one cycle of therapy with ATZ plus BEV.
  • Eligible individuals will be required to have Baseline (pre-index) EGD available
  • No prior systemic therapy for HCC.
  • Evaluable disease as defined per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (mRECIST) V1.1 criterion (At least 1 evaluable CT result over the entire available index and post-index period, excluding the baseline).
  • Patients identified from the patient registry in the hospital with treatment charts between April 1, 2022- December 31, 2024 (index date).
  • Eligible individuals will be required to have data available prior to the index date (pre-index period; baseline characteristics).

You may not qualify if:

  • A diagnosis of any other primary cancer prior to the index date
  • ATZ plus BEV treatment as part of a clinical trial
  • ATZ or BEV given off-label
  • Patients with incomplete medical records
  • Patients receiving other investigational drugs
  • History of hepatic encephalopathy
  • Patients with brain metastasis
  • HBV and HBC co-infection
