Abstract Background: Based on the Ph III IMbrave150 trial, atezo + bev has been approved globally and is the standard of care for pts with unresectable HCC who have not received prior systemic therapy. With an additional 12 mo of follow-up from the primary analysis (median, 15.6 mo), atezo + bev showed consistent clinically meaningful treatment benefit and safety (Finn ASCO GI 2021). Here, we report results of updated analyses considering high-risk factors. Methods: Pts were randomized 2:1 to receive atezo 1200 mg IV q3w + bev 15 mg/kg IV q3w or sor 400 mg PO BID until loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity. High-risk pts were defined as those who had tumor invasion of the main trunk of the portal vein and/or the portal vein branch contralateral to the primarily involved lobe (Vp4), and/or bile duct invasion and/or tumor occupancy of ≥ 50% of liver. Results: In the ITT population, 64 (19%) pts randomized to atezo + bev and 37 (22%) pts randomized to sor were defined as high risk. 10 pts had bile duct invasion, 73 had Vp4 portal vein invasion and 31 had liver tumor occupancy of ≥ 50%. 9 pts in the atezo + bev arm and 4 pts in the sor arm had 2 high-risk factors. OS, PFS and ORR all favored atezo + bev over sor, in both non-high-risk and high-risk patients. See table for efficacy results. In safety-evaluable pts, Grade 3/4 treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) occurred in 122 (45%) of 269 non-high-risk and 21 (35%) of 60 high-risk atezo + bev pts. Grade 5 TRAEs occurred in 5 (2%) non-high-risk and 1 (2%) high-risk atezo + bev pt. Conclusions: Efficacy benefit was seen with atezo + bev vs sor regardless of the presence of high-risk features. HRs remained similar despite the numerical differences in median OS between non-high-risk and high-risk pts. Further, the overall safety data in the atezo + bev arm were comparable between non-high-risk and high-risk pts and in line with the known safety profile of each drug.
