Abstract 191P
Background
Hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC] is the third leading cause of death from cancer worldwide. In Egypt, HCC accounts for about 4.7% of chronic liver disease. To date, no controlled studies have evaluated the Sorafenib efficacy in comparison to no treatment in HCC patients whose etiology of HCV genotype 4 (The most prevalent hepatitis C virus genotype in Egypt).
Methods
A multicenter prospective controlled interventional study. 110 Patients were evaluated for overall survival [OS], Progression-free survival [PFS], safety and quality of life [QOL] using FACT Hepatobiliary Symptom Index [FHSI-8] questionnaire. NCT02971696.
Results
Out of 110 patients enrolled, only 55 completed the trial; sorafenib [n = 35], no-treatment control group [n = 20]. The one year OS was 0.0% versus 75.5% [p = 0.008] in control and sorafenib respectively. Median PFS was 5 months versus 12 months in control group and sorafenib respectively [p = 0.008]. Sorafenib group HR for developing progression was 2.35; [95% [CI], 1.19 to 4.62; P = 0.014]. QOL scores [FHSI-8] was significantly different between the 2 groups [F = 4.455, p = 0.047]. Most observed side effects of sorafenib were; Diarrhea [n = 15] and hand-foot syndrome [n = 12].
Conclusions
Sorafenib treatment showed a better outcome OS, PFS and QOL as compared to no-treatment in Egyptian patients with advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
