What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Survival (OS) in the Global Population

    OS was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

    Measured: From randomization to death from any cause up to the clinical cut off date (CCOD) of 29Aug2019 (up to approximately 18 months) and 31Aug2020 (up to approximately 30 months)

  2. Progression Free Survival by Independent Review Facility-Assessment (PFS-IRF) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 in the Global Population

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause whichever occurs first as determined by an IRF according to RECIST v1.1. PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters on study (including baseline). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum of diameters must also demonstrate an absolute increase of >/= 5 millimeters (mm).

    Measured: Randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause up to CCOD of 29Aug2019 (up to approximately 18 months)

  3. Overall Survival (OS) in the China Population

    OS was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

    Measured: From randomization to death from any cause up to the clinical cut off date (CCOD) of 29Aug2019 (up to approximately 18 months) and 31Aug2020 (up to approximately 30 months)

  4. PFS-IRF Per RECIST v1.1 in the China Population

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause whichever occurs first as determined by an IRF according to RECIST v1.1. PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters on study (including baseline).

An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Atezolizumab, Bevacizumab and Sorafenib in people with Carcinoma, Hepatocellular, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 119 sites in 17 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 119 sites in United States, China, Japan, France, Germany and 12 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Nov 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Survival (OS) in the Global Population (time frame: From randomization to death from any cause up to the clinical cut off date (CCOD) of 29Aug2019 (up to approximately 18 months) and 31Aug2020 (up to approximately 30 months)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03434379, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Oct 2023.
