Efficacy and safety of targeted therapy plus immunotherapy combined with hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (FOLFOX) for unresectable hepatocarcinoma. World J Gastroenterol 2024; 30:2321-2331. [PMID: 38813052 PMCID: PMC11130568 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i17.2321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The advent of cutting-edge systemic therapies has driven advances in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and therapeutic strategies with multiple modes of delivery have been shown to be more efficacious than monotherapy. However, the mechanisms underlying this innovative treatment modality have not been elucidated. AIM To evaluate the clinical efficacy of targeted therapy plus immunotherapy combined with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) of FOLFOX in patients with unresectable HCC. METHODS We enrolled 53 patients with unresectable HCC who received a combination of targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and HAIC of FOLFOX between December 2020 and June 2021 and assessed the efficacy and safety of the treatment regimen. RESULTS The objective response rate was 60.4% (32/53), complete response was 24.5% (13/53), partial response was 35.9% (19/53), and stable disease was 39.6% (21/53). The median duration of response and median progression-free survival were 9.1 and 13.9 months, respectively. The surgical conversion rate was 34.0% (18/53), and 1-year overall survival was 83.0% without critical complicating diseases or adverse events (AEs). CONCLUSION The regimen of HAIC of FOLFOX, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy was curative for patients with unresectable HCC, with no serious AEs and a high rate of surgical conversion.

Anthracycline-based hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy achieved 17 months of disease regression in a patient with breast cancer liver metastases resistant to multiple systemic chemotherapies. Int Cancer Conf J 2024; 13:153-157.

Abstract
Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for liver metastases (LMs) from breast cancer is not a standard of care, but its effectiveness in patients with extensive LMs who cannot tolerate systemic therapy has been reported. Herein, we report a case of breast cancer LMs that were controlled by anthracycline-based HAIC. A 46-year-old woman with estrogen receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative metastatic breast cancer who had multiple LMs and bone metastases underwent seven lines of systemic therapy (paclitaxel/bevacizumab for 38 months; letrozole, nivolumab/fulvestrant, eribulin, gemcitabine/vinorelbine, high-dose toremifene/abemaciclib, and capecitabine for 21 months in total). However, owing to its adverse effects and the continued progression of the LMs, systemic therapy was switched to HAIC (40 mg/body epirubicin on day 1, 4 mg/body mitomycin C on days 1 and 15, and 500 mg/body 5-fluorouracil on days 1, 8, and 15; 28-day courses). In response to HAIC, the LMs remarkably regressed and were controlled for 17 months without severe adverse effects. HAIC was stopped when multiple brain metastases arose, and the patient died 2 months later. This case suggests that HAIC is a reasonable option for patients with extensive LMs, even in the late stage of treatment. HAIC recipients should be carefully selected through multidisciplinary discussions as the survival benefits of HAIC over systemic treatment remain unclear. Our findings identify a potential window for the use of traditional chemotherapeutic agents such as anthracyclines. Novel strategies to improve drug delivery are warranted in the future.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) treatment is widely accepted as one of the alternative therapeutic modalities for HCC owing to its local control effect and low systemic toxicity. Nevertheless, although accumulating high-quality evidence has displayed the superior survival advantages of HAIC of oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin (HAIC-FOLFOX) compared with standard first-line treatment in different scenarios, the lack of standardization for HAIC procedure and remained controversy limited the proper and safe performance of HAIC treatment in HCC. Therefore, an expert consensus conference was held on March 2023 in Guangzhou, China to review current practices regarding HAIC treatment in patients with HCC and develop widely accepted statements and recommendations. In this article, the latest evidence of HAIC was systematically summarized and the final 22 expert recommendations were proposed, which incorporate the assessment of candidates for HAIC treatment, procedural technique details, therapeutic outcomes, the HAIC-related complications and corresponding treatments, and therapeutic scheme management.

Abstract
Primary hepatobiliary cancers (PHCs), which mainly include hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and biliary tract cancers (BTCs), are mostly diagnosed in the advanced stage and are not candidates for curative surgery or ablation, resulting in a dismal prognosis. Targeted therapies with or without programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 inhibitors have been incorporated into first-line treatments for advanced HCC. Systemic chemotherapy is still the mainstay treatment for advanced BTCs, and combining it with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors has resulted in prolonged patient survival. Intra-arterial therapies, including trans-arterial chemoembolization, selective internal radiation therapy, and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), have been explored and used for advanced hepatobiliary cancers for many years with positive results, particularly when combined with systemic treatments. Recently, an increasing number of phase II/III trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of HAIC for the treatment of advanced HCC with portal vein tumor thrombosis and/or a large tumor burden, for the neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment of HCC with high-risk factors, and for treating advanced intrahepatic and perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. However, the techniques and regimens used for HAIC are diverse and differ greatly between various regions and centers worldwide. This review focuses on these diverse techniques and regimens, as well as the updated evidence on HAIC regarding the treatment of PHCs.

Abstract
We report two cases of liver metastases from colorectal and anal cancers after the failure of systemic chemotherapies that were successfully treated with a combination therapy of transarterial chemoembolization using irinotecan-loaded drug-eluting beads and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy. In both cases, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy was performed as maintenance therapy after irinotecan-loaded drug-eluting beads. Irinotecan at a dose of 120 mg was loaded on drug delivery beads for irinotecan-loaded drug-eluting bead-transarterial chemoembolization. A weekly high-dose 5-fluorouracil regimen (1000 mg/m2/5 h) was used for hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy. The liver metastases shrank remarkably in both cases, and progression-free survivals of 13 and 9 months, respectively, were obtained without any severe adverse events.

Abstract
Sarcopenia-related factors, including the skeletal muscle index (SMI), are reportedly associated with prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving various treatments. However, there is no evidence relating to hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC). In this study, we investigated whether a low SMI was associated with worse clinical outcomes of HAIC. Seventy patients with advanced HCC were included. Clinical outcomes were compared between the decreased SMI (n = 27) and non-decreased SMI (n = 43) groups, which were classified according to changes in the SMI after 3 weeks of treatment. In the prognostic analysis, patients in the decreased SMI group had significantly shorter progression-free and overall survival (OS) than those in the non-decreased SMI group. In addition, poor nutritional status and liver function were associated with an immediate decrease in the SMI after HAIC. The therapeutic effect was worse in the decreased SMI group than in the non-decreased SMI group, although the incidence of adverse events did not significantly differ. In multivariate analysis, a decreased SMI at 3 weeks after HAIC was identified as a significant independent factor associated with OS. A decreased SMI in patients with advanced HCC undergoing HAIC was associated with poor prognosis. It is effective to monitor the SMI to evaluate general conditions and predict clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Systemic treatments are recommended for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in preserved liver function. However, their effects are unsatisfactory in some tumor conditions, particularly macrovascular invasion (MVI) including major portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). We compared the efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) regimens New-FP and sorafenib for various tumor conditions in preserved liver function. Methods: We retrospectively collected the data of 1709 patients with HCC who were treated with New-FP or sorafenib. Survival was assessed after propensity score matching. Subgroup analyses were conducted: cohort 1 (no MVI or extrahepatic spread (EHS)), cohort 2 (MVI only), cohort 3 (EHS only), cohort 4 (MVI and EHS), and cohort 5 (major PVTT). Results: The New-FP group had a longer median survival time (MST) than the sorafenib in the whole analysis (18 vs. 9 months; p < 0.0001). New-FP demonstrated a longer MST compared with sorafenib in cohort 2 and cohort 4. In cohort 5, the MST of the New-FP group was 16 months, while that of sorafenib was 6 months (p < 0.0001). For major PVTT-HCC, the response rate of New-FP was 73.0%. The MST of patients who achieved complete response with New-FP was 59 months. Conclusions: HAIC using New-FP is promising for patients with MVI- and major PVTT-HCC in preserved liver function.
