Abstract 147P
Background
In the primary analysis (data cut-off [DCO]: 27 August 2021) of the phase 3 HIMALAYA study (NCT03298451) in uHCC, STRIDE (Single Tremelimumab Regular Interval Durvalumab) significantly improved OS vs sorafenib; durvalumab was noninferior to sorafenib (Abou-Alfa et al. NEJM Evid 2022). Here, we report an updated 4-year OS analysis of HIMALAYA.
Methods
Participants with uHCC and no previous systemic treatment were randomised to STRIDE (tremelimumab 300 mg for one dose plus durvalumab 1500 mg every 4 weeks [Q4W]), durvalumab (1500 mg Q4W) or sorafenib (400 mg twice daily). DCO was 23 January 2023 (STRIDE OS data maturity, 78%). OS and serious treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were assessed. In addition, baseline demographics and disease characteristics were assessed in long-term survivors (LTS; surviving ≥36 months beyond randomisation).
Results
Follow-up duration was approximately 4 years across arms (Table). The OS HR vs sorafenib and estimated 36-month OS rate for STRIDE were consistent with the primary analysis. The 48-month OS rate remained higher for STRIDE (25.2%) vs sorafenib (15.1%). No new serious TRAEs occurred after the primary analysis for STRIDE. Durvalumab OS noninferiority to sorafenib and safety was consistent with the primary analysis. Baseline demographics, clinical characteristics, subsequent therapies and tremelimumab rechallenge for LTS in the STRIDE arm were generally consistent with the full analysis set, suggesting that LTS were not from any particular subgroup.
Conclusions
These data reinforce the sustained, long-term OS benefit of STRIDE vs sorafenib in a diverse uHCC population, demonstrating unprecedented 3- and 4-year OS rates and longest follow-up to date in phase 3 uHCC studies. STRIDE maintained a tolerable safety profile, with no new serious safety events. This abstract was originally presented at the 2023 World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer. Table: 147P
