To evaluate the impact of hepatitis C virus (HCV) eradication on the clinical outcome of patients with HCV-related advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with sorafenib.
A total of 58 HCV-related advanced HCC patients with Child-Pugh grade A disease who were treated with sorafenib were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. Of these, 27 patients were HCV RNA negative as a result of previous antiviral therapy (sustained viral response [SVR] group), while the remaining 31 were HCV RNA positive (non-SVR group).
The response rate, disease control rate and median time to progression in the SVR group (6, 46.0%, and 3.8 months, respectively) were similar to those in the non-SVR group (3, 51.5%, and 2.7 months, respectively). On the other hand, the median time to treatment failure (TTTF), post-progression survival (PPS), and overall survival (OS) were significantly longer in the SVR group than in the non-SVR group (9.7, 8.5, and 15 months vs. 5.9, 5.2, and 9.3 months; p = 0.023, 0.02, and 0.014, respectively). On multivariate analysis, SVR was identified as a significant and independent determinant of PPS (p = 0.009), TTTF (p = 0.028), and OS (p = 0.01).
HCV eradication before sorafenib treatment for HCV-related advanced HCC could prolong PPS and TTTF and improve OS.
评估丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)根除对接受索拉非尼治疗的HCV相关晚期肝细胞癌(HCC)患者临床结局的影响。
本回顾性队列研究纳入了58例接受索拉非尼治疗的Child-Pugh A级HCV相关晚期HCC患者。其中,27例患者因先前的抗病毒治疗导致HCV RNA阴性(持续病毒学应答[SVR]组),其余31例为HCV RNA阳性(非SVR组)。
SVR组的缓解率、疾病控制率和中位疾病进展时间(分别为6、46.0%和3.8个月)与非SVR组(分别为3、51.5%和2.7个月)相似。另一方面,SVR组的中位治疗失败时间(TTTF)、进展后生存期(PPS)和总生存期(OS)显著长于非SVR组(分别为9.7、8.5和15个月,对比5.9、5.2和9.3个月;p分别为0.023、0.02和0.014)。多因素分析显示,SVR是PPS(p = 0.009)、TTTF(p = 0.028)和OS(p = 0.01)的显著且独立的决定因素。
在对HCV相关晚期HCC进行索拉非尼治疗前根除HCV可延长PPS和TTTF并改善OS。
