Patients with chronic HBV on antiviral therapy or HCV patients who have completed curative anti-viral therapy can be included.

14. The effects of the proposed bevacizumab+atezolizumab+infigratinib combination on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation (refer to MDA Policy CLN 1114), and for 6 months after the last study drug dose. Approved methods of birth control are as follows: Hormonal contraception (i.e. birth control pills, injection, implant, transdermal patch, vaginal ring), intrauterine device (IUD), tubal ligation or hysterectomy, Subject/Partner post vasectomy, Implantable or injectable contraceptives, and condoms plus spermicide. Not engaging in sexual activity for the total duration of the trial and the drug washout period is an acceptable practice; however periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. This includes all female patients, between the onset of menses (as early as 8 years of age) and 55 years unless the patient presents with an applicable exclusionary factor which may be one of the following:

• Postmenopausal (no menses in greater than or equal to 12 consecutive months)

• History of hysterectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

• Ovarian failure (Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Estradiol in menopausal range, who have received Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy)

• History of bilateral tubal ligation or another surgical sterilization procedure. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

15. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception and agree to to refrain from donating sperm prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 6 months after completion of bevacizumab+atezolizumab+infigratinib administration.
