Comparing the bleeding risk in hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with atezolizumab/bevacizumab versus durvalumab plus tremelimumab.
e13882 Background: This study compares bleeding risk in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients receiving Atezolizumab/Bevacizumab (A+B) vs. Durvalumab/Tremelimumab (D+T). Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis using the TriNetX Research Network (104 healthcare organizations) examined matched cohorts: A+B (n = 69) and D+T (n = 69). Patients had INR > 1.8 and platelet count < 50,000. Outcomes included gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, variceal bleeding, and other hemorrhagic events. Results: GI bleeding incidence was similar (A+B: 15.9%, D+T: 14.5%; p = 0.813), as was variceal bleeding (14.5% in both; p = 0.998). Conclusions: GI and variceal bleeding risks were comparable. Personalized risk assessment is essential, and further studies are needed. Propensity matching of baseline characteristics.
