BACKGROUND/AIM: Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (AteBev) is widely used as a first-line treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, evidence regarding the optimal drug sequence following AteBev treatment is limited. This study aimed to compare the treatment outcomes between tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and durvalumab plus tremelimumab (DurTre) following AteBev treatment.
Overall, 134 consecutive patients who received AteBev for advanced HCC were enrolled in this study. Treatment outcomes were retrospectively compared between TKIs (AteBev→TKI group) and DurTre (AteBev→DurTre group).
The AteBev→TKI and Ate→DurTre groups included 46 and 7 patients, respectively. The AteBev→TKI group had significantly longer median progression-free survival after second-line treatment (3.6 vs. 0.94 months, p<0.001). The disease control rate was significantly higher in the AteBev→TKI group (p=0.020). The serum alpha-fetoprotein levels significantly decreased at one month in the AteBev→TKI group (0.909 vs. 1.435, p=0.035), whereas the albumin-bilirubin score significantly decreased at one month in the AteBev→TKI group (0.875 vs. 0.952, p=0.017). Each group reported no new unmanageable adverse events.
TKIs may be a more optimal drug sequence than DurTre after AteBev treatment from an oncological perspective. TKIs following AteBev treatment require careful monitoring for deteriorating liver function.
背景/目的:阿替利珠单抗联合贝伐珠单抗(AteBev)被广泛用作晚期肝细胞癌(HCC)的一线治疗方案。然而,关于AteBev治疗后最佳用药顺序的证据有限。本研究旨在比较阿替利珠单抗联合贝伐珠单抗治疗后酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKIs)与度伐利尤单抗联合曲美木单抗(DurTre)的治疗效果。
本研究共纳入134例连续接受AteBev治疗的晚期HCC患者。对酪氨酸激酶抑制剂组(AteBev→TKI组)和度伐利尤单抗联合曲美木单抗组(AteBev→DurTre组)的治疗效果进行回顾性比较。
AteBev→TKI组和Ate→DurTre组分别有46例和7例患者。AteBev→TKI组二线治疗后的中位无进展生存期显著更长(3.6个月对0.94个月,p<0.001)。AteBev→TKI组的疾病控制率显著更高(p=0.020)。AteBev→TKI组在1个月时血清甲胎蛋白水平显著下降(0.909对1.435,p=0.035),而AteBev→TKI组在1个月时白蛋白-胆红素评分显著下降(0.875对0.952,p=0.017)。每组均未报告新的难以处理的不良事件。
从肿瘤学角度来看,AteBev治疗后,酪氨酸激酶抑制剂可能是比DurTre更优的用药顺序。AteBev治疗后使用酪氨酸激酶抑制剂需要密切监测肝功能恶化情况。
