BACKGROUND: Despite the use of current standard therapy, the prognosis of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is poor, with median survival times of 40 mo for intermediate HCC (Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer [BCLC] stage B) and 6-8 mo for advanced HCC (BCLC stage C). Although patients with early-stage HCC are usually suitable for therapies with curative intention, up to 70% of patients experience relapse within 5 years. In the past decade, the United States Food and Drug Administration has approved different immunogenic treatment options for advanced HCC, the most common type of liver cancer among adults. Nevertheless, no treatment is useful in the adjuvant setting. Since 2007, the multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib has been used as a first-line targeted drug to address the increased mortality and incidence rates of HCC. However, in 2020, the IMbrave150 trial demonstrated that combination therapy of atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1]) and bevacizumab (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]) is superior to sorafenib, a single anti-programmed death 1/PD-L1 antibody inhibitor used as an anti-cancer monotherapy for HCC treatment. AIM: To conduct a systematic literature review to evaluate the evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab/bevacizumab as preferred first-line drug therapy over the conventional sorafenib or atezolizumab monotherapies, which are used to improve survival outcomes and reduce disease progression in patients with unresectable HCC and non-decompensated liver disease. METHODS: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, clinicaltrials.gov, PubMed Central, Embase, EuropePMC, and CINAHL databases to identify studies that met the inclusion criteria using relevant MeSH terms. This systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and risk of bias (RoB) were assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool and Sevis. RESULTS: In the atezolizumab/bevacizumab group, an improvement in overall tumor response, reduction of disease progression, and longer progression-free survival were observed compared to monotherapy with either sorafenib or atezolizumab. Hypertension and proteinuria were the most common adverse events, and the rates of adverse events were comparable to those with the monotherapy. Of the studies, there were two completed trials and two ongoing trials analyzed using high quality and low bias. A more thorough analysis was only performed on the completed trials. CONCLUSION: Treatment of HCC with atezolizumab/bevacizumab combination therapy was confirmed to be an effective first-line treatment to improve survival in patients with unresectable HCC and non-decompensated liver disease compared to monotherapy with either sorafenib or atezolizumab.

This is a randomized, open-label, adaptive, two arm, multicentre, Phase II trial comparing a neoadjuvant chemotherapy with PDL1-inhibition (Atezolizumab) and Atezolizumab two-week window to chemotherapy with PDL1-inhibition (Atezolizumab) and identify biomarkers predicting (early) response to or resistance against Atezolizumab (alone and with CTX) allowing patients stratification in future clinical trials

This is a single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab and bevacizumab combination therapy (stage 2) after radiologic progression of atezolizumab monotherapy (stage 1) in Korean patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed during or following a platinum-containing regimen. Initially, patients will be treated with Atezolizumab 1200mg every 3 weeks as a single agent (stage 1). After radiologic progression from atezolizumab monotherapy, patients will be consequently treated with atezolizumab (1200mg every 3 weeks) and combination with bevacizumab (15mg/kg every 3 weeks). Exploratory biomarkers will be observed in order to identify predictive biomarkers correlated to response and to evaluate the changes of local and systemic immune profile between baseline and at the time of progression.

phase II controlled randomized study comparing atezolizumab as single agent to the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab in patients with chemonaive metastatic NSCLC with PD-L1 expression. All NSCLC patients with tumor tissue available for biomarker assessment and candidate for first-line therapy are considered eligible for the study. After evaluation of all inclusion and exclusion criteria and after informed consent signature all eligible patients will be randomized to atezolizumab (Arm A) or to the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab (Arm B). Disease assessment will be performed every 6 weeks.

Molecular imaging can be used for the noninvasive assessment of biodistribution of monoclonal antibodies. Atezolizumab has previously successfully been labeled with the radionucleotide Zirconium-89 (89Zr) and studied in solid malignancies (NCT02453984). The results of atezolizumab biodistribution can help to get a better understanding of the response mechanisms, the relation with minimal residual disease, the relation with the status of the T-cell and natural killer (NK)-cell repertoire and toxicity of programmed death ligand 1 (PDL1) checkpoint inhibition. Possibly in the future this will facilitate optimal patient selection. Sequential 89Zr-atezolizumab positron emission tomography (PET) scans can provide information on the dynamics of atezolizumab biodistribution over time. In combination with repeated characterization of tumor tissue and blood samples, these results can give inside in primary and acquired resistance. In this parallel study of the HOVON 151 trial, 89Zr-atezolizumab-PET-scans will be used to evaluate 20 high risk DLBCL patients before and after induction (R-CHOP) therapy, and at suspected relapse during or after atezolizumab consolidation (HOVON 151).

This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab in patients with recurrent cervical cancer in second line therapy. A total of 48 patients will be randomized in 3 arms, each arm consisting of 16 patients: Arm A: atezolizumab monotherapy q3w Arm B: atezolizumab combined with doxorubicin q3w Arm C: doxorubicin monotherapy q3w

Aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of up-front atezolizumab/ bevacizumab (Atezo/Bev) followed by on-demand selective transarterial chemoembolization (sdTACE) and of initial synchronous treatment with TACE and Atezo/Bev in the treatment of unresectable HCC patients.

This study is for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who are candidates for resection of metastases. This study will be conducted sequentially with 2 cohorts: 1.) Monotherapy Cohort and 2.) Combination Cohort Pre-metastatectomy * Monotherapy Cohort: The first 10 subjects will receive Atezolizumab 840 mg IV on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle. * Combination Cohort: The next 15 subjects will receive Atezolizumab 840 mg IV on Day 1 and Day 15 and Cobimetinib 60 mg PO on Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle. Note: Cobimetinib must be held for the 7 days prior to metastatectomy. All subjects will be treated for 2 cycles (8 weeks) prior to metastatectomy Metastatectomy Subjects will undergo liver metastatectomy within 42 days of completion of Cycle 2 of pre-metastatectomy treatment. No study treatment is administered while the patient is healing after surgery. Post-metastatectomy Once the patient has healed from the surgery, adjuvant treatment may be administered at the discretion of the treating physician. Restaging following standards of care for this setting.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In recent years, immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) particularly atezolizumab is on the rise in treating advanced malignancies. With its increased clinical use, various electrolyte abnormalities have been reported in the literature. In this review, we have addressed the question of significant electrolyte abnormalities associated with atezolizumab. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Following PRISMA guidelines, we performed a thorough literature search in four databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Clinicaltrials.gov. We included only randomized controlled trials from 2010 till March 2021. After a comprehensive screening of 1587 articles, we selected 14 articles for our review and tabulated the results. Following MeSH terms were used: "electrolyte abnormalities", "immune checkpoint inhibitors", "atezolizumab". RESULTS: Non-small cell lung cancer (n = 1270) and metastatic urothelial carcinoma (n = 1164) were the most common malignancies among 3160 patients. The most common electrolyte abnormality was hypomagnesemia (4.7%). Hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, hypercalcemia and hypokalemia were found in 2.3%, 0.63%, 0.25% and 0.06% patients respectively. For patients taking atezolizumab, hypomagnesemia was most frequently found in non-small cell lung carcinoma patients (9.4%), while urothelial metastatic carcinoma patients most commonly had hyponatremia (5.15%). Hypokalemia though insignificant was observed only in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (2.85%). CONCLUSION: Since the use of atezolizumab is on the rise for the treatment of various cancers, more studies need to be conducted to better understand its safety and toxicity profile.
