PURPOSE: To assess response to programmed death-1 (PD-1) monotherapy (nivolumab) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients using RECIST1.1, modified RECIST (mRECIST), and immune RECIST (iRECIST). A secondary objective was to identify clinicolaboratory and imaging variables predictive of progressive disease (PD) and overall survival (OS). METHODS: Patients with HCC treated with nivolumab at a single institution from 5/2016 to 12/2019 with MRI or CT performed ≥ 4 weeks post treatment were retrospectively assessed. Patients who received concurrent locoregional, radiation, or other systemic therapies were excluded. Response was assessed by 2 observers in consensus using RECIST1.1, mRECIST, and iRECIST at 3/6/9/12-month time points. Time to progression (TTP) and OS were recorded. Clinicolaboratory and imaging variables were evaluated as predictors of PD and OS using uni-/multivariable and Cox regression analyses. RESULTS: Fifty-eight patients (42M/16F) were included. 118 target lesions (TL) were identified before treatment. Baseline mean TL size was 49.1 ± 43.5 mm (range 10-189 mm) for RECIST1.1/iRECIST and 46.3 ± 42.3 mm (range 10-189 mm) for mRECIST. Objective response rate (ORR) was 21% for mRECIST/iRECIST/RECIST1.1, with no cases of pseudoprogression. Median OS and median TTP were 717 days and 127 days for RECIST1.1/mRECIST/iRECIST-iUPD (unconfirmed PD). Older age, MELD/Child-Pugh scores, AFP, prior transarterial radioembolization (TARE), and larger TL size were predictive of PD and/or poor OS using mRECIST/iRECIST. The strongest predictor of PD (HR = 2.49, 95% CI 1.29-4.81, p = 0.007) was TARE. The strongest predictor of poor OS was PD by mRECIST/iRECIST at 3 months (HR = 2.26, 95% CI 1.00-5.10, p = 0.05) with borderline significance. CONCLUSION: Our results show ORR of 21%, equivalent for mRECIST, iRECIST, and RECIST1.1 in patients with advanced HCC clinically treated with nivolumab.
目的:使用 RECIST1.1、改良 RECIST(mRECIST)和免疫 RECIST(iRECIST)评估肝细胞癌(HCC)患者对程序性死亡受体-1(PD-1)单药治疗(nivolumab)的反应。次要目标是确定预测疾病进展(PD)和总生存期(OS)的临床实验室和影像学变量。 方法:回顾性评估了 2016 年 5 月至 2019 年 12 月期间在一家机构接受 nivolumab 治疗的 HCC 患者,这些患者在治疗后至少进行了 4 周的 MRI 或 CT 检查。排除了同时接受局部区域、放射或其他全身治疗的患者。在 3/6/9/12 个月的时间点,由 2 名观察者通过共识使用 RECIST1.1、mRECIST 和 iRECIST 对反应进行评估。记录疾病进展时间(TTP)和 OS。使用单变量/多变量和 Cox 回归分析评估临床实验室和影像学变量对 PD 和 OS 的预测作用。 结果:共纳入 58 例患者(42 例男性/16 例女性)。治疗前共确定了 118 个靶病灶(TL)。基线时,RECIST1.1/iRECIST 和 mRECIST 的平均 TL 大小分别为 49.1±43.5mm(范围 10-189mm)和 46.3±42.3mm(范围 10-189mm)。mRECIST/iRECIST/RECIST1.1 的客观缓解率(ORR)为 21%,无假性进展病例。RECIST1.1/mRECIST/iRECIST-iUPD(未确认 PD)的中位 OS 和中位 TTP 分别为 717 天和 127 天。使用 mRECIST/iRECIST,年龄较大、MELD/Child-Pugh 评分、AFP、既往经动脉放射性栓塞术(TARE)和更大的 TL 大小是 PD 和/或不良 OS 的预测因素。TARE 是 PD 的最强预测因子(HR=2.49,95%CI 1.29-4.81,p=0.007)。mRECIST/iRECIST 在 3 个月时 PD 是不良 OS 的最强预测因子(HR=2.26,95%CI 1.00-5.10,p=0.05),具有边缘显著性。 结论:我们的研究结果表明,在接受nivolumab 临床治疗的晚期 HCC 患者中,mRECIST、iRECIST 和 RECIST1.1 的 ORR 相当,为 21%。
