概要 BACKGROUND AIMS:Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Atezo/Bev) is administered for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with bevacizumab dosed by body weight, which may not adequately reflect body composition. This study evaluated the association between BSA-adjusted bevacizumab dosing, expressed as the bevacizumab-BSA index (BBI), and outcomes.APPROACH RESULTS:This retrospective study included 1,507 unresectable HCC patients treated with Atezo/Bev at 30 Japanese institutions. BBI was the ratio of actual to standard dose per BSA. Restricted cubic spline analyses identified the optimal BBI range. Outcomes were compared among BBI groups. Spline analysis revealed a nonlinear association between BBI and overall survival (OS), with an optimal BBI range of 106-121%. Accordingly, the patients were classified into Under (n=924), Target (n=522), and Over (n=61) groups. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly longer in the Target group than in the non-Target group (10.3 vs. 6.5 months, p<0.001), and the median OS was prolonged (24.9 vs. 19.2 months, p=0.008). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that the Target BBI group was independently associated with improved PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.807; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.715-0.910; p<0.001) and OS (HR, 0.850; 95% CI, 0.733-0.985; p=0.031). The objective response rate was significantly higher in the Target group (p=0.023), while treatment-related adverse event rates were comparable across the BBI groups, with no significant differences in proteinuria, hypertension, or other toxicities.CONCLUSIONS:BSA-adjusted bevacizumab dosing was associated with improved efficacy without increased toxicity in patients with unresectable HCC treated with Atezo/Bev.
