Study Summary

This Phase 3 study evaluates the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib in combination with atezolizumab versus the standard of care sorafenib in adults with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have not received previous systemic anticancer therapy. A single-agent cabozantinib arm will be enrolled in which participants receive single agent cabozantinib in order to determine its contribution to the overall safety and efficacy of the combination with atezolizumab.

Primary Outcome

PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the earlier of either the date of radiographic progression defined as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, or the unequivocal appearance of new lesions, or progression of non-target disease per Blinded Independent Radiology Committee (BIRC) or the date of death due to any cause per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.
