PG - 7772-7783 LID - 10.1002/cam4.5535 [doi] AB - AIM: To investigate the possible correlation between the development of adverse events (AEs) and prognosis in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Atez/Bev). METHODS: A total of 286 patients with unresectable HCC treated with Atez/Bev as first-line systematic therapy were included. RESULTS: Regarding treatment-related AEs, decreased appetite of any grade, proteinuria of any grade, and fatigue of any grade were found with a frequency of >/=20%. Multivariate analysis adjusted for immune-related liver injury, immune-related endocrine dysfunction, proteinuria, fatigue, decreased appetite, hypertension, sex, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, HCC etiology, HCC stage, Child-Pugh score, and alpha-fetoprotein showed that hypertension of any grade (hazard ratio [HR], 0.527; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.326-0.854; p = 0.009) and alpha-fetoprotein >/=100 ng/ml (HR, 1.642; 95% CI, 1.111-2.427; p = 0.013) were independently associated with progression-free survival. Multivariate analysis adjusted for the same AEs showed that fatigue (HR, 2.354; 95% CI, 1.299-4.510; p = 0.010) was independently associated with overall survival. Median progression-free survival was 6.5 months (95% CI, 5.2-8.1) in patients without hypertension of any grade and 12.6 months (95% CI, 6.7-not available) in patients with hypertension of any grade (p = 0.035). The overall survival was significantly shorter in patients in whom treatment-related fatigue of any grade was observed (p < 0.001). Regarding response rates, the disease control rate of patients who developed treatment-related hypertension (94.2%) was significantly higher than those who did not (79.1%) (p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS: Treatment-related hypertension is associated with good outcomes in patients with HCC treated with Atez/Bev. CI - (c) 2022 The Authors. Cancer Medicine published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
