    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Objective Response Rate (ORR)
    Investigator-assessed confirmed ORR is defined as proportion of participants with a CR/PR on two consecutive occasions ≥ 4 weeks apart with the use of RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST in Cohorts A and B.
    Duration of Response (DOR)
    Investigator-assessed DOR is defined as the time from the first occurrence of a confirmed objective response to the time of disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, with the use of RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST in Cohorts A and B
    Progression Free Survival (PFS)
    Investigator-assessed PFS is defined as the time from treatment initiation to the first occurrence of disease progression with the use of RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, in Cohorts A and B.
    Overall Survival (OS)
    OS is defined as the time from treatment initiation to the date of death due to any cause in Cohorts A and B.
    Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Scores
    The QLQ-C30 is a validated, reliable self-reported measure. It consists of 30 questions that assess five aspects of participant functioning, three symptom scales, global health status and quality of life (QoL), and six single items with a recall period of the previous week. Scale scores can be obtained for the multi-item scales. The functioning and symptoms items are scored on a 4-point scale that ranges from "not at all" to "very much," and the global health status and QoL items are scored on a 7-point scale that ranges from "very poor" to "excellent."
    Change From Baseline in QLQ-HCC18 Scores
    The EORTC QLQ-HCC18 is a disease-specific measure designed for use along with the EORTC QLQ-C30 in patients with HCC. It contains six multi-item symptom scales, and two single-item scales for a total of 18 questions with a recall period the past week.
    Change from baseline in PRO-CTCAE Scores
    The PRO-CTCAE is a validated item bank that is used to characterize the presence, frequency of occurrence, severity, and/or degree of interference with daily function of 78 patient-reportable symptomatic treatment toxicities.
    Change From Baseline in IL46 Scores
    The EORTC IL46 is a single question that assesses bother (burden) of treatment. It is rated on a scale from 1 to 4, ranging from "not at all" to "very much".

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab and bevacizumab, or atezolizumab alone, as first-line treatment in participants with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with Child-Pugh B7 or B8 cirrhosis.
    Detailed Description
    This is a Phase II, open-label, multicohort, multicenter study in participants with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have Child-Pugh B7 or B8 liver cirrhosis and have received no prior systemic therapy in this treatment setting. The study is designed to non-comparatively evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Cohort A) or atezolizumab monotherapy (Cohort B) in this population.
