Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- Adult women and men (≥ 18 years of age) with proven initial diagnosis of HCC
- description
- 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).
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Description of the epidemiology of patients treated with ATZ+BEV
- timeFrame
- 36 months
- description
- The defined primary study outcome is describing the epidemiology of patients treated with ATZ+BEV in real life setting.
Secondary outcomes (6)
- measure
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) according to viral and non-viral etiology in the selected cohort
- timeFrame
- 36 months
- description
- PFS is defined as the time from the date of the first therapy administration until radiological disease progression or death, whatever occurred first. Patients still alive and without radiologically confirmed progression at the date of the last contact or data cut-off will be censored.
