New combo attack on tough liver cancer shows promise in Real-World study
NCT ID NCT07272265
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 300 adults with high-risk liver cancer who received a combination of two drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) plus chemotherapy infused directly into the liver artery. The goal was to see how well this treatment worked and how safe it was in everyday medical practice. The study is already completed, and researchers are analyzing survival and tumor progression data from medical records across 10 hospitals in China.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Atezolizumab and bevacizumab (immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic drugs) plus liver artery infusion of FOLFOX chemotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a more effective first-line treatment option for patients with high-risk liver cancer that has spread to major blood vessels or bile ducts.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. The combination also carries risks of serious side effects from both immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: * Aged ≥ 18 years at the initiation of Atezo/Bev plus HAIC * Initiating Atezo/Bev between 28 October 2020 and 31 June 2025 * Diagnosed with high-risk HCC as evidenced clinically or by radiology, histology or cytology before or at the initiation of Atezo/Bev plus HAIC. The evidence of being diagnosed as "high-risk" was based on the IMbrave 150, including any of the following: * tumor invasion of the main trunk or contralateral branch of the portal vein (Vp4) * bile duct invasion * tumor occupancy of 50% or more of the liver * At least one visit record after the initiation of Atezo/Bev plus HAIC Exclusion criteria: * Diagnosed with concomitant cancer except for basal cell carcinoma before or at the initiation of Atezo/Bev plus HAIC * Participating in interventional clinical studies before or at initiating Atezo/Bev plus HAIC
