Progression pattern and post-progression survival following atezolizumab and bevacizumab treatment in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver Int 2024; 44:1343-1350. [PMID: 38436529 DOI: 10.1111/liv.15825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab (ATZ + BEV) is a standard treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), strategies for addressing treatment failure and prognostic factors of post-progression survival (PPS) remain unestablished. METHODS We conducted a multicentre retrospective study to evaluate PPS following ATZ + BEV treatment in patients with advanced HCC. We classified the patients into three groups: BCLC stage B and BCLC stage C without or with new extrahepatic lesions (BCLCp-C1 and BCLCp-C2, respectively) at the time of progression. RESULTS Of the 204 patients who started ATZ + BEV treatment between October 2020 and September 2022, 110 showed disease progression, with 33, 55 and 22 showing the BCLCp-B, BCLCp-C1 and BCLCp-C2 stages of the disease, respectively. Specifically, patients with the BCLCp-B stage of the disease showed better overall survival than those with the BCLCp-C1 and BCLCp-C2 stages (hazard ratios: 1.93 [95% confidence interval, CI, 1.06-3.51] and 2.64 [95% CI, 1.32-5.30] for HCC stages BCLCp-C1 and BCLCp-C2, respectively). Via multivariable analysis, we identified the BCLCp-C1 and BCLCp-C2 stages, as well as performance status, Child-Pugh class and alpha-fetoprotein as poor prognostic factors for PPS. CONCLUSIONS BCLCp-B1 stage was identified as a better prognostic factor for PPS following ATZ + BEV treatment compared with BCLCp-C1 and BCLCp-C2 stages. This may help in making decisions regarding subsequent treatment after ATZ + BEV.

The addition of camrelizumab is effective and safe among unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma patients who progress after drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization plus apatinib therapy. Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2023; 47:102060. [PMID: 36473631 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2022.102060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Camrelizumab synergizes with apatinib or transarterial chemoembolization via tumor immunity and chemosensitivity. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab plus apatinib with or without drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after progression to DEB-TACE plus apatinib. METHODS Eighty-nine unresectable HCC patients accepted previous DEB-TACE plus apatinib therapy, then further received second-line camrelizumab plus apatinib with or without DEB-TACE treatment. Treatment responses were calculated at 3 months (M3) and 6 months (M6). Survival and treatment-related adverse events were documented. RESULTS Objective response rate and disease control rate were 39.3% and 80.9% at M3; meanwhile, they were 22.4% and 54.1% at M6. Furthermore, the median progression-free survival (PFS) (95% confidence interval (CI)) was 7.0 (6.2-7.8) months with a 1-year PFS rate of 18.4%; the median overall survival (OS) (95% CI) was 17.0 (15.3-18.7) months with a 1-year OS rate of 73.9%. Multivariable Cox's proportional hazards regression analysis presented that 3-4 times (vs. 0 time) of DEB-TACE, apatinib dose duration> 4 months, and camrelizumab dose duration> 5 months independently predicted longer PFS (all P<0.05); meanwhile, declined ECOG PS score, new lesions as progression pattern, 1-2 and 3-4 times (vs. 0 time) of DEB-TACE, apatinib dose duration> 4 months independently predicted prolonged OS (all P<0.05). Moreover, treatment-related adverse events mainly included grade 1-2 fever, gastrointestinal reaction, fatigue, hand-foot skin reaction, and hypertension. CONCLUSION After progression to DEB-TACE plus apatinib treatment, the addition of camrelizumab is effective and safe among unresectable HCC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) and liver-only disease ineligible for chemoembolization. PATIENTS AND METHODS NASIR-HCC is a single-arm, multicenter, open-label, phase 2 trial that recruited from 2017 to 2019 patients who were naïve to immunotherapy and had tumors in the BCLC B2 substage (single or multiple tumors beyond the up-to-7 rule), or unilobar tumors with segmental or lobar portal vein invasion (PVI); no extrahepatic spread; and preserved liver function. Patients received SIRT followed 3 weeks later by nivolumab (240 mg every 2 weeks) for up to 24 doses or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Safety was the primary endpoint. Secondary objectives included objective response rate (ORR), time to progression (TTP), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS 42 patients received SIRT (31 BCLC-B2, 11 with PVI) and were followed for a median of 22.2 months. 27 patients discontinued and 1 never received Nivolumab. 41 patients had any-grade adverse events (AE) and 21 had serious AEs (SAE). Treatment-related AEs and SAEs grade 3-4 occurred in 8 and 5 patients, respectively. Using RECIST 1.1 criteria, ORR reported by investigators was 41.5% (95% CI 26.3% to 57.9%). Four patients were downstaged to partial hepatectomy. Median TTP was 8.8 months (95% CI 7.0 to 10.5) and median OS was 20.9 months (95% CI 17.7 to 24.1). CONCLUSIONS The combination of SIRT and nivolumab has shown an acceptable safety profile and signs of antitumor activity in the treatment of patients with uHCC that were fit for SIRT. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03380130.

Abstract
There have been major advances in the armamentarium for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) since the last official update of the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer prognosis and treatment strategy published in 2018. Whilst there have been advances in all areas, we will focus on those that have led to a change in strategy and we will discuss why, despite being encouraging, data for select interventions are still too immature for them to be incorporated into an evidence-based model for clinicians and researchers. Finally, we describe the critical insight and expert knowledge that are required to make clinical decisions for individual patients, considering all of the parameters that must be considered to deliver personalised clinical management.

Abstract
There have been major advances in the armamentarium for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) since the last official update of the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer prognosis and treatment strategy published in 2018. Whilst there have been advances in all areas, we will focus on those that have led to a change in strategy and we will discuss why, despite being encouraging, data for select interventions are still too immature for them to be incorporated into an evidence-based model for clinicians and researchers. Finally, we describe the critical insight and expert knowledge that are required to make clinical decisions for individual patients, considering all of the parameters that must be considered to deliver personalised clinical management.

Abstract
The last 5 years have witnessed relevant advances in the systemic treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. New data have emerged since the development of the EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines on the management of hepatocellular carcinoma in 2018. Drugs licensed in some countries now include 4 oral multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (sorafenib, lenvatinib, regorafenib and cabozantinib), 1 anti-angiogenic antibody (ramucirumab) and 4 immune checkpoint inhibitors, alone or in combination (atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab, ipilimumab in combination with nivolumab, nivolumab and pembrolizumab in monotherapy). Prolonged survival in excess of 2 years can be expected in most patients with sensitive tumours and well-preserved liver function that renders them fit for sequential therapies. With different choices available in any given setting, the robustness of the evidence of efficacy and a correct matching of the safety profile of a given agent with patient characteristics and preferences are key in making sound therapeutic decisions. The recommendations in this document amend the previous EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines and aim to help clinicians provide the best possible care for patients today. In view of several ongoing and promising trials, further advances in systemic therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma are foreseen in the near future and these recommendations will have to be updated regularly.

LI-RADS treatment response algorithm after first-line DEB-TACE: reproducibility and prognostic value at initial post-treatment CT/MRI. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2021; 46:3708-3716. [PMID: 33755735 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-021-03043-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Revised: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the inter-reader reproducibility and prognostic accuracy of the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) treatment response algorithm (LR-TR) at the time of initial post-treatment evaluation following drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS This retrospective study included patients with HCC who underwent first-line DEB-TACE between January 2011 and December 2015. Six readers (three fellowship-trained radiologists and three radiology trainees) independently assessed lesion-level response in up to two treated lesions per LR-TR and modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST)-target criteria, as well as patient-level response per mRECIST-overall criteria, on the initial post-treatment CT/MRI. Inter-reader agreement was calculated by Fleiss' multi-reader κ. We tested whether LR-TR, mRECIST-target, and mRECIST-overall response were associated with overall survival using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard model analyses. RESULTS A total of 82 patients with 113 treated target lesions were included. Inter-reader agreement was moderate for LR-TR and mRECIST-overall (κ range 0.42-0.57), and substantial for mRECIST-target (κ range 0.62-0.66), among all three reader-groups: all readers, experienced readers, and less-experienced readers. LR-TR and mRECIST-target response were not significantly associated with overall survival regardless of reader experience (P > 0.05). In contrast, mRECIST-overall response was significantly associated with overall survival when assessed by all readers (P = 0.02) and experienced readers (P = 0.03), but not by the less-experienced readers (P = 0.35). CONCLUSION Although LR-TR algorithm has moderate inter-reader reproducibility, it alone may not predict overall survival on the initial post-treatment CT/MRI after first-line DEB-TACE for HCC.
