Abstract

Introduction: The most frequently used first-line treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. Upon progression after this treatment, the standard of care in many countries is sorafenib, due to the lack of reimbursement for other drugs. Several randomized trials are currently underway to clarify the best second-line therapy in patients with HCC. This real-world study aimed to compare outcomes reached by lenvatinib and sorafenib second-line therapy in this setting.

Methods: The overall cohort included 891 patients with HCC from 5 countries treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab in first-line setting between October 2018 and April 2022. At the data cut-off (May 2022), 41.5% of patients were continuing a first-line treatment, 5.5% were lost at follow-up, and 53.0% of patients had progressive disease after first-line therapy. 51.5% of patients with progressive disease received a second-line treatment, while 48.5% did not receive any subsequent therapy. Between patients receiving second-line treatment, 11.1% of patients underwent transarterial chemoembolization, 21.0% received sorafenib, 35.4% underwent lenvatinib, and 32.5% were treated with other drugs.

Results: Lenvatinib second-line subgroup achieved a median overall survival (mOS) of 18.9 months, significative longer (p = 0.01; hazard ratio [HR]: 2.24) compared to sorafenib subgroup that reached a mOS of 14.3 months. The multivariate analysis highlighted albumin-bilirubin 1 grade (p < 0.01; HR: 5.23) and lenvatinib second-line therapy (p = 0.01; HR: 2.18) as positive prognostic factors for OS. The forest plot highlighted a positive trend in terms of OS in favor of patients treated with lenvatinib second-line regardless of baseline characteristics before first-line therapy.

Conclusion: These results suggest that, in patients with HCC progressed to first-line atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, lenvatinib second-line therapy is associated to an improved survival compared to sorafenib.

阿特珠单抗加贝伐单抗治疗进展期肝细胞癌患者的伦伐替尼与索拉非尼二线治疗：一项回顾性真实世界研究。

导言：晚期肝细胞癌（HCC）患者最常用的一线治疗方法是阿特珠单抗加贝伐单抗。经过这种治疗后，如果病情恶化，由于其他药物无法报销，许多国家的标准疗法是索拉非尼。目前正在进行几项随机试验，以明确HCC患者的最佳二线疗法。这项真实世界研究旨在比较来伐替尼和索拉非尼二线疗法在这种情况下达到的疗效。方法：总体队列包括来自5个国家的891名HCC患者，他们在2018年10月至2022年4月期间接受了阿特珠单抗加贝伐单抗的一线治疗。在数据截止时（2022年5月），41.5%的患者继续一线治疗，5.5%的患者在随访时丢失，53.0%的患者在一线治疗后疾病进展。51.5%的病情进展患者接受了二线治疗，48.5%的患者没有接受任何后续治疗。在接受二线治疗的患者中，11.1%的患者接受了经动脉化疗栓塞治疗，21.0%的患者接受了索拉非尼治疗，35.4%的患者接受了来伐替尼治疗，32.5%的患者接受了其他药物治疗。结果显示：来伐替尼二线治疗亚组的中位总生存期（mOS）为18.9个月，与索拉非尼亚组的14.3个月相比，显著延长（P = 0.01；HR：2.24）。多变量分析显示，白蛋白-胆红素1级[p = 0.01；危险比（HR）：5.23]和来伐替尼二线治疗（p = 0.01；HR：2.18）是影响OS的积极预后因素。森林图显示，无论一线治疗前的基线特征如何，接受来伐替尼二线治疗的患者的OS均呈积极趋势。

期刊介绍： Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, observations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a new section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.
