Summary

This trial looks at the safety and effectiveness of two drugs for treating advanced liver cancer in people with cirrhosis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that can't be removed by surgery and who have moderate to severe liver impairment (Child-Pugh B7 or B8). They should not have had previous systemic treatments for their cancer, must be able to perform daily activities with minimal assistance, and women must avoid pregnancy.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of Atezolizumab alone or combined with Bevacizumab as a first-line treatment. Participants will receive these drugs to see if they help control liver cancer better than current treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Atezolizumab may cause immune-related reactions, fatigue, nausea, and infections. Bevacizumab might lead to high blood pressure, bleeding issues, protein in urine, and could impact wound healing.
