Summary

  • The Phase 3 IMbrave150 trial assessed the use of first-line Tecentriq in combination with Avastin versus sorafenib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic unresectable HCC.
    • HBV and HCV infection levels in patients were assessed at trial enrolment:
      • Patients were excluded from the IMbrave150 trial if they had both active HBV and active HCV.
        • Patients with active, controlled HBV were included in the trial, if HBV was treated and HBV DNA <500 IU/mL within 28 days of trial initiation.
          • Patients with active, controlled HCV infection were included in the trial.
            • Nucleoside / nucleotide analogues and antivirals were used in IMbrave150 to treat HBV and HCV in the trial.

            HBV= Hepatitis B virus

            IMBrave150 trial overview

            IMbrave150 was a Phase 3, global, open-label, randomised study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of Tecentriq in combination with Avastin, versus sorafenib in 501 patients with locally advanced or metastatic unresectable HCC [1].

            Eligible patients had to have

            • no prior systemic therapy,
              • Child-Pugh A liver cirrhosis,
                • performance status of 0 or 1, and
                  • measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 not amendable to curative or locoregional therapies.
                      

                    The IMBrave150 protocol provides a full list of additional inclusion and exclusion criteria [1].

                    Inclusion and exclusion criteria according to HBV and HCV status

                    Levels of HBV and HCV infection were assessed in patients at trial enrolment. Table 1 provides the inclusion and exclusion criteria for patients with HBV and HCV infection in the IMbrave150 trial.

                    In patients had active HBV and active HCV then they were included in trial on the conditions

                    Patient characteristics at baseline

                    Table 2 provides data on the number of patients in the IMbrave150 trial who had HBV and HCV infection at baseline. As Table 1 shows, patients were not enroled to the trial if they had co-infection with both active HBV and active HCV.

                    HBV and HCV medication

                    Table 3 provides data on the HBV and HCV medication administered to patients in the IMbrave150 trial.

                    Efficacy and safety stratified by HBV and HCV status

                    Subgroup analyses of IMbrave150 safety and efficacy data for HBV and HCV patients was not performed [2].
