Impact of muscle volume changes following atezolizumab-bevacizumab therapy in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma
Aim
This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of muscle volume changes during atezolizumab-bevacizumab (AB) combination therapy (AB therapy) for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC). Additionally, we evaluated whether changes in muscle volume relate to prognosis based on treatment response.
Methods
The present retrospective, multicenter study included 165 patients with u-HCC treated with AB therapy at eight institutions.
Results
The median albumin–bilirubin score in the entire cohort was −2.42. The objective response rate was 31.5%, and the disease control rate was 80.6%. The median overall survival (OS) was not reached, whereas the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.3–8.5). At the first post-treatment computed tomography scan, patients were categorized into two groups: those with a nondecreased psoas muscle area index (PI) (group A) and those with a decreased PI (group B). The median OS was not reached in either group (p = 0.059). The median PFS was 10.5 months in group A and 5.5 months in group B (p = 0.025). Multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model identified alpha-fetoprotein ≥400 ng/mL (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.11–2.54; p = 0.01) and decreased PI (HR: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.07–2.36; p = 0.02) as factors associated with PFS.
Conclusions
Nondecreased muscle volume after initiating AB therapy was associated with improved treatment efficacy and prognosis in patients with u-HCC.

Hepatology Research (formerly International Hepatology Communications) is the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology, and publishes original articles, reviews and short comunications dealing with hepatology. Reviews or mini-reviews are especially welcomed from those areas within hepatology undergoing rapid changes. Short communications should contain concise definitive information.
