Background Approximately 80% of patients with HCC present with unresectable cancer, 1 usually • complicated by underlying liver disease 1,2 • VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors are the first-line systemic standard of care for unresectable or metastatic HCC 2,3 – Associated with modest survival benefits and considerable toxicities 2,3 – Unconfirmed ORRs per RECIST 1.1 were 19% with lenvatinib and 7% with sorafenib 3 • Single-agent PD-L1/PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown clinical activity against HCC, but not yet superiority over standards of care, in randomised studies 4,5 • Many HCC tumors are hypervascularised and overexpress VEGF and PD-L1 6,7 – The anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody bevacizumab showed modest single-agent activity in HCC 8 – In addition to anti-angiogenic activity, bevacizumab’s immunomodulatory effects alter the tumour microenvironment and may boost anti–PD-L1-mediated anti-tumour response 9-11 – Dual blockade of PD-L1 and VEGF has shown clinical benefit in other tumour types 12-14 13 th ILCA Annual Conference 1.
