Study Summary

This trial is testing how well atezolizumab works with or without bevacizumab in people with liver or lung cancer that has spread to the liver.

Who is the study for?
Adults with inoperable liver cancer or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the liver, who have adequate organ function and are not pregnant. NSCLC patients must be EGFR/ALK wild type and HCC patients may have had prior treatments. Participants need a measurable lesion, controlled hepatitis B or C, an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, and agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of Atezolizumab alone or combined with Bevacizumab for treating liver cancer or lung cancer with liver metastases by monitoring how long it takes for participants' cancers to worsen after starting treatment. It also involves analyzing blood and tumor tissue samples before and after administration.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, high blood pressure due to Bevacizumab's effect on blood vessels, infusion reactions from both drugs, increased risk of infections, bleeding complications, fatigue, and possible interference with wound healing.
