Abstract 173P
Background
This retrospective multicenter real-world study aims to compare outcomes reached by L and S second-line therapy in HCC patients treated with first-line AB.
Methods
The overall cohort included 891 HCC patients from five countries (Italy, Germany, Portugal, Japan, and the Republic of Korea) treated with AB in first-line setting between October 2018 and April 2022. A total of 472 (53.0%) patients had progressive disease after first-line therapy, of which 243 (51.5%) received a second-line treatment. Data from 137 patients were available for the analysis: 51 (37.2%) received S and 86 (62.8%) L.
Results
L second-line subgroup achieved a median overall survival (mOS) of 18.9 months, significative longer (p = 0.01; HR: 2.24) compared to S subgroup that reached a mOS of 14.3 months. After adjusting for positive clinical covariates at univariate analysis, multivariate analysis highlighted Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) 1 grade [p < 0.01; hazard ratio (HR): 5.23] and L second-line therapy (p = 0.01; HR: 2.18) as positive prognostic factor for OS. Forest plot highlighted a positive trend in terms of OS in favor of patients treated with L second-line regardless of baseline characteristics before first-line therapy. In particular, L second-line subgroup had a better OS compared to S second-line subgroup in male patients, aged ≤ 70 years, with viral etiology, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer C stage, αfetoprotein < 400 ng/mL, Child-Pugh A, NLR < 3, ALBI 1 grade, performance status ≤ 1, presence of portal vein thrombosis. Regarding first-line treatment outcomes, L second-line subgroup achieved a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 3.5 months, while S second-line subgroup reached a mPFS of 4.3 months without any significative difference (p 0.42; HR: 1.15). There was no difference in overall response rate (L 26.1% vs. S 19.8%; p = 0.29) and disease control rate (L 76.8% vs. S 66.4%; p = 0.71) between the two subgroups.
Conclusions
L second-line therapy is superior to S in HCC patients progressed to first-line AB.
