Most patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ultimately experience tumor progression after first-line systemic therapies. Systemic therapy is generally recommended as second-line treatment for advanced HCC in the major guidelines. Combining apatinib with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) likely drives synergistic activity on advanced HCC with extrahepatic metastasis. This phase II trial (ChiCTR2000029082) aimed to assess efficacy and safety of this combination in patients with HCC with extrahepatic metastasis who have progressed after first-line systemic therapies. The primary end point was the objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints were progress-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), 6- and 12-month survival rates, overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs). Thirty-nine patients received oral treatment with apatinib, and hepatic artery infusion oxaliplatinplus raltitrexed. Per RECIST v1.1, the ORR and DCR was 53.8% and 89.7% in the patients population, respectively. The median PFS and OS was 6.2 months and 11.3 months, respectively. The 6- and 12-month survival rates were 81.7% and 44.1%, respectively. All AEs were manageable by medication or dose modifications. Apatinib plus HAIC for second-line therapy in advanced HCC with extrahepatic metastasis shows promising efficacy and manageable toxicities.
大多数晚期肝细胞癌 (HCC) 患者在一线系统治疗后最终会经历肿瘤进展。主要指南一般推荐系统治疗作为晚期 HCC 的二线治疗。阿帕替尼联合肝动脉灌注化疗 (HAIC) 可能对伴有肝外转移的晚期 HCC 发挥协同作用。这项 II 期试验 (ChiCTR2000029082) 旨在评估该联合疗法在一线系统治疗后进展的伴有肝外转移的 HCC 患者中的疗效和安全性。主要终点是客观缓解率 (ORR)。次要终点是无进展生存期 (PFS)、疾病控制率 (DCR)、6 个月和 12 个月的生存率、总生存期 (OS) 和不良事件 (AE)。39 名患者接受了阿帕替尼的口服治疗,以及肝动脉输注奥沙利铂加雷替曲塞。根据 RECIST v1.1,患者人群的 ORR 和 DCR 分别为 53.8%和 89.7%。中位 PFS 和 OS 分别为 6.2 个月和 11.3 个月。6 个月和 12 个月的生存率分别为 81.7%和 44.1%。所有的 AE 都可以通过药物或剂量调整来控制。阿帕替尼联合 HAIC 作为伴有肝外转移的晚期 HCC 的二线治疗显示出有希望的疗效和可管理的毒性。
