Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adults greater than or equal to 18 years diagnosed with biopsy proven advanced or unresectable HCC. Patients with BCLC stage C or BCLC stage B Treatment-na ve for systemic therapy. Child Pugh A or B ECOG Lesser than or equal to 2. Signed informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Prior liver transplant. Previous systemic therapy for HCC. Significant comorbidities or active infections High risk esophageal or gastric varices Special populations, minors, pregnant mothers, neonates.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the changes in metabolomic profiles and gut microbiota composition in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (BCLC stage B and C) from baseline to after three cycles of immunotherapy with atezolizumab and bevacizumab.Timepoint: At Baseline and after 3 months of immunotherapy

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To correlate the changes in metabolomic & microbiota profiles with treatment outcomes, including objective response rate (ORR) & progression-free survival (PFS). 2.To identify specific metabolomic markers & microbial taxa that are predictive of a positive or negative response to immunotherapy. 3.To evaluate whether baseline microbiota & metabolomic signatures can serve as predictive biomarkers for treatment efficacy in HCC patients receiving immunotherapy. 4.To explore the association between gut microbiota diversity & shifts in specific metabolic pathways with patient prognosis & immunotherapy-related outcomes. Timepoint: At Baseline & after 3 months of immunotherapy
