While guidelines recommend immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) rechallenge as second-line therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), data supporting this remain limited, particularly regarding a standard regimen for first- and second-line treatments. Tremelimumab/durvalumab was recently approved but data on ICI rechallenge are lacking.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early efficacy and safety of tremelimumab/durvalumab for HCC as an ICI rechallenge following initial ICI therapy with atezolizumab/bevacizumab.
This multicenter retrospective study included patients with HCC who underwent treatment with tremelimumab/durvalumab, with relevant available clinical information. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of tremelimumab/durvalumab as ICI rechallenge following initial treatment with atezolizumab/bevacizumab. We analyzed the outcomes in patients who underwent tremelimumab/durvalumab as an ICI rechallenge and those who received tremelimumab/durvalumab as their initial ICI therapy RESULT: A total of 45 patients treated with tremelimumab/durvalumab were included, with 55.6% (25/45) undergoing ICI rechallenge. The objective-response and disease-control rates in patients who underwent ICI rechallenge were 14.3% (3/21) and 47.6% (10/21), respectively, similar to those in patients initially treated with tremelimumab/durvalumab. All patients (n = 3) who experienced the best response to progressive disease (PD) with initial atezolizumab/bevacizumab experienced PD during ICI rechallenge. The incidence rates of adverse events were similar between patient groups treated with tremelimumab/durvalumab as ICI rechallenge and initial ICI. Among patients experiencing immune-related adverse events (irAEs) with atezolizumab/bevacizumab, 75% (3/4) encountered similar irAEs during ICI rechallenge.
Early safety and efficacy profiles of durvalumab/tremelimumab as ICI rechallenge are satisfactory.
虽然指南建议将免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)重新用于不可切除的肝细胞癌(HCC)作为二线治疗,但支持这一建议的数据仍然有限,特别是对于一线和二线治疗的标准方案。Tremelimumab/durvalumab 最近获得批准,但缺乏 ICI 重新挑战的数据。
本研究旨在评估 Tremelimumab/durvalumab 作为阿替利珠单抗/贝伐珠单抗初始 ICI 治疗后 HCC 的 ICI 重新挑战的早期疗效和安全性。
这是一项多中心回顾性研究,纳入了接受 Tremelimumab/durvalumab 治疗且有相关临床资料的 HCC 患者。我们评估了 Tremelimumab/durvalumab 作为阿替利珠单抗/贝伐珠单抗初始治疗后 ICI 重新挑战的安全性和疗效。我们分析了接受 Tremelimumab/durvalumab 作为 ICI 重新挑战的患者和作为初始 ICI 治疗的患者的结局。
共纳入 45 例接受 Tremelimumab/durvalumab 治疗的患者,其中 55.6%(25/45)接受 ICI 重新挑战。接受 ICI 重新挑战的患者的客观缓解率和疾病控制率分别为 14.3%(21/143)和 47.6%(21/45),与初始接受 Tremelimumab/durvalumab 治疗的患者相似。所有在初始阿替利珠单抗/贝伐珠单抗治疗时对进展性疾病(PD)反应最佳的患者(n=3)在 ICI 重新挑战时均出现 PD。接受 Tremelimumab/durvalumab 作为 ICI 重新挑战和初始 ICI 治疗的患者的不良事件发生率相似。在接受阿替利珠单抗/贝伐珠单抗治疗时发生免疫相关不良事件(irAEs)的患者中,75%(3/4)在 ICI 重新挑战时出现相似的 irAEs。
Durvalumab/tremelimumab 作为 ICI 重新挑战的早期安全性和疗效特征令人满意。
