Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a multi-national, phase II, parallel-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of SIRT-Y90 followed by atezolizumab plus bevacizumab \[study arm\], versus SIRT-Y90 followed by placebo \[control arm\] in patients with locally advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will enroll 100 patients randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio (50 in each arm) to one of the two arms.

* Study arm: SIRT-Y90 + 1200mg atezolizumab + 15mg/kg bevacizumab
* Control arm: SIRT-Y90 + placebos (IV)

The patients will be recruited from up to 15 sites from the Asia-Pacific Hepatocellular Carcinoma (AHCC) Trials Group (subjected to feasibility studies and ethics approval). Proposed sites are in Singapore, China, South Korea, and Taiwan.

This study will be performed in a double-blind manner. The investigators, monitoring team, site staff, and all patients will be blinded to the study treatments from the time of randomization until database lock. Biostatisticians involved in preparing the randomization and safety data analysis for Data and Safety Monitoring Board (independent to study statistician) will be unblinded.

17. Female patients must be either postmenopausal or, if premenopausal, must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use two forms of contraception if sexually active during the treatment period, for at least 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab and 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab.

3. Patients who have had \>2 administrations of hepatic artery directed therapy.
4. Patients who have had hepatic artery directed therapy done \<4 weeks prior to date of ICF signing.
5. Patients who have had systemic adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy for HCC.
6. Prior hepatic radiation therapy for HCC or other malignancy.
7. Patient who has received any immunotherapy (including interferon-alfa, peginterferon alfa-2a, peginterferon alfa-2b, thymosin-α1, etc.) within 30 days prior to randomization, is currently receiving immunotherapy or is planned to start immunotherapy during the study (e.g., for the management of active CHB or CHC according to local guidelines).
8. Has evidence that \<30% of the total liver volume is disease-free.
9. Currently receiving any other investigational agents for the treatment of their cancer.
10. Has intractable clinical ascites (in spite of optimal diuretic treatment) or any other clinical signs of liver failure, on physical examination.

14. Any other concurrent malignancy, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or other cancer for which the patient has been disease-free for at least five years.
15. Presence of clinical signs of CNS metastases due to their poor prognosis and because progressive neurologic dysfunction would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
16. Uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection (except viral hepatitis), symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
