Atezolizumab/bevacizumab and lenvatinib for HCC
Arndt Vogel shared the following post on X:
“Hot off the press – our European RWD study: Atezolizumab/bevacizumab and lenvatinib for HCC.
- Similar OS for Lenva vs AB
- Risk of hepatic decompensation for pts w/ impaired liver function under AB
- More data for clinical decision making.”
Nina Niu Sanford’s retweeted the post, adding her own thoughts:
“Worth noting median OS w atezo/bev here 13 mo vs. 19.2 mo in IMBRAVE150.
Biggest dif is prob 21% Child Pugh B here, but really highlights in HCC esp so many factors separate pts on trial vs. real world – underlying cirrhosis, dif biologies worldwide, PS, social supports, etc.”
