Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab in Combination With Y^90 Radioembolization in HCC for Liver Transplant

Atezolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor. It is a monoclonal antibody that works by binding to the protein PD-L1 on the surface of some cancer cells, which keeps cancer cells from suppressing the immune system. It is indicated for usage in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), Melanoma, and Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS).

Bevacizumab is a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor indicated for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, in combination with intravenous fluorouracil-based chemotherapy for first- or second-line treatment. It is also indicated for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, in combination with fluoropyrimidine-irinotecan- or fluoropyrimidine-oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for second-line treatment in participants who have progressed on a first-line bevacizumab product-containing regimen.

Radioembolization is a minimally invasive procedure that combines embolization and radiation therapy to treat cancers in the liver. Tiny beads filled with a radioactive isotope are placed inside the blood vessels that supply a tumor. This blocks the supply of blood to the cancer cells and delivers a high dose of radiation to the tumor while sparing normal tissue. It can help extend the lives of participants with inoperable tumors and improve their quality of life.
