Abstract 179P
Background
HCC is the fourth most common malignancy in China, and ranks second by mortality rate. Most patients have already reached advanced stage when diagnosed. TACE in combination with first-lined systematic therapy has been explored as an effective treatment for unresectable HCC. However, it has not been reported the safety and efficacy of Regorafenib combined with TACE, as a second-lined therapy. In this multicenter retrospective study, we preliminarily investigated the safety and efficacy of a combination with Regorafenib and TACE therapy in patients with unresectable HCC.
Methods
We reviewed the medical data of 38 patients with progression after prior treatment of Sorafenib and/or Lenvatinib from Jan 2019 to Apr 2020 at 4 tertiary centers in China. Patients were treated with TACE initially after enrollment. 5-7 days after the first TACE, patients started taking Regorafenib PO for 3 weeks on/1 week off. All patients were required to be followed up regularly and TACE was repeated as needed. The overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), progression-free survival (PFS), drugs safety, adverse events (AEs) were observed. OS was calculated from date of first TACE to death. TTP was calculated from date of first TACE to progression. Adverse events were evaluated by Clavien classification. Drugs safety was investigated according to CTCAE v4.03.

Conclusions
Regardless of the retrospective nature, the present study as the first up-to-date real-world evidence indicates that Regorafenib combined with TACE was clinically effective and tolerable in subsequent to prior systemic therapy for unresectable HCC. Additional prospective large-scale studies are required to further verify our conclusion.
