Résumé
Atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)) and bevacizumab (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)) combination therapy has become the new standard of care in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. However, potential predictive biomarkers and mechanisms of response and resistance remain less well understood. We report integrated molecular analyses of tumor samples from 358 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) enrolled in the GO30140 phase 1b or IMbrave150 phase 3 trial and treated with atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab, atezolizumab alone or sorafenib (multikinase inhibitor). Pre-existing immunity (high expression of CD274, T-effector signature and intratumoral CD8
