Durvalumab plus tremelimumab (Durva/Treme) has recently been approved as a first-line or later-line treatment for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC) in Japan. We assessed the real-world outcomes of Durva/Treme for u-HCC, with a focus on treatment efficacy and safety.
We retrospectively evaluated 22 patients with u-HCC treated with Durva/Treme at Iwate Medical University during the period from 2023 to 2024, with a comparison of the clinical outcomes between patients who received Durva/Treme as first-line and later-line treatments. We further evaluated changes in the modified albumin-bilirubin (mALBI) grade during treatment.
There were 10 patients in the first-line group and 12 patients in the later-line treatment group. During the follow-up with a median duration of 7.6 months, the median progression-free survival (first-line versus later-line: 4.7 months versus 2.9 months, p = 0.85), the objective response rate (0.0% versus 16.7%, p = 0.48), the disease control rate (60.0% versus 58.4%, p = 1.00), and the incidence of any adverse event (50.0% versus 75.0%, p = 0.38) were not statistically different between the two groups. The changes in the mALBI scores were not statistically significant (p = 0.75).
Durva/Treme may be effective and safe for patients with u-HCC, even in patients who receive Durva/Treme as a later-line treatment.
度伐利尤单抗联合曲美木单抗(Durva/Treme)最近在日本被批准用于不可切除肝细胞癌(u-HCC)患者的一线或二线治疗。我们评估了Durva/Treme治疗u-HCC的真实世界疗效,重点关注治疗效果和安全性。
我们回顾性评估了2023年至2024年期间在岩手医科大学接受Durva/Treme治疗的22例u-HCC患者,并比较了接受Durva/Treme一线和二线治疗患者的临床结局。我们还进一步评估了治疗期间改良白蛋白-胆红素(mALBI)分级的变化。
一线治疗组有10例患者,二线治疗组有12例患者。在中位随访期7.6个月期间,两组的中位无进展生存期(一线治疗组与二线治疗组:4.7个月对2.9个月,p = 0.85)、客观缓解率(0.0%对16.7%,p = 0.48)、疾病控制率(60.0%对58.4%,p = 1.00)以及任何不良事件的发生率(50.0%对75.0%,p = 0.38)均无统计学差异。mALBI评分的变化无统计学意义(p = 0.75)。
Durva/Treme对u-HCC患者可能有效且安全,即使是接受Durva/Treme作为二线治疗的患者。
