Abstract 199TiP
Background
C inhibits tyrosine kinases involved in tumor growth, angiogenesis, and immune regulation, including MET, VEGFR, and TAM kinases (Tyro3, AXL, MER). C is approved in the United States and Europe for treatment of aHCC after prior S based on improved overall survival (OS) vs placebo in the phase 3 CELESTIAL trial (Abou-Alfa NEJM 2018). C may promote an immune-permissive tumor environment, which could enhance response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. C is being evaluated in combination with the anti-PD-L1 antibody A in multiple tumor types including HCC in a phase 1 study; recommended dose, preliminary clinical activity, and safety of the combination have been established in aRCC (Agarwal Ann Oncol 2018). A in combination with bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF antibody, has shown preliminary clinical activity in first-line aHCC (Pishvaian Ann Oncol 2018). Here, we present the study design of a phase 3 trial of C + A vs S in pts with aHCC who have not received prior systemic therapy.
Trial design
This global, randomized, open-label phase 3 trial (NCT03755791) is evaluating the efficacy and safety of C + A vs S as first-line treatment for aHCC. C vs S will also be evaluated as a secondary endpoint. Eligibility criteria include age ≥18 years, BCLC stage B or C, Child-Pugh A, ECOG PS ≤ 1, and measurable disease per RECIST 1.1. Pts are randomized 2:1:1 to an experimental arm of C (40 mg qd) + A (1200 mg infusion q3w), a control arm of S (400 mg bid), and a C monotherapy arm (60 mg qd). 740 pts are planned to be enrolled at ∼250 sites globally. Randomization is stratified by disease etiology (HBV [with or without HCV], HCV [without HBV], or other), region (Asia, other), and the presence of extrahepatic disease and/or macrovascular invasion (yes, no). OS and progression-free survival (PFS) for C+A vs S are primary endpoints, and PFS for C vs S is a secondary endpoint. Additional endpoints include safety, pharmacokinetics, and correlation of biomarker analyses with clinical outcomes. The first patient was enrolled in December 2018, and enrollment is ongoing.
