504 Background: This study analyzes the pattern of use of SACT in the treatment and survival of AHCC before and after sorafenib was FDA approved in late 2007. Methods: Adult patients diagnosed with HCC and treated with only chemotherapy (CT) from 2004 – 2014 were identified in NCDB database. Patients were analyzed during 3 time frames: 2004–2006 (pre-sorafenib (PS), 2007–2011 (early sorafenib (ES) and 2012–2014 (late sorafenib (LS)). Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier method were used for analyses. Results: The NCDB contained 31,107 patients with HCC diagnosed from 2004–2014 and treated with CT alone. Patients were generally men (77.3%), >50 years of age (92.5%), and with a variety of T-stages - T1 (31.0%), T2 (23.9%), T3 (28.3%), and T4 (16.9%). The use of SACT was only 6.2% in the PS period, increased to 15.5% in the ES period, and to 22.3% in the LS period (p<0.0001). During this later period, the highest proportion of SACT is among academic and integrated network facilities (23.4%) as compared to community facilities (16.4%, p<0.0001). The MS of patients with AHCC treated only with CT has improved significantly over the study periods from 10 months (m) (95% CI: 9.5-10.6) to 12.5m (12.0-12.9) to 16m (15.6-16.4, p< 0.001). Significant differences in MS were found between facility types in all time frames (Table). Multivariate analysis indicates worse outcomes for patients treated at community cancer programs (HR 1.66, 1.53-1.79) as compared to academic programs as well as for no insurance (HR 1.13, 1.05-1.22) and estimated household income of <$63,000 (HR 1.09, 1.05-1.13). Conclusions: Despite an overall improvement in survival for AHCC patients treated with only CT, significant differences in the utilization of SACT and survival exist by facility type, insurance status, and income.

Cabozantinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets VEGFR, MET and the TAM (TYRO3, AXL, MER) family of kinase receptors. In addition to their role in tumor growth and angiogenesis, cabozantinib targets promote an immune-suppressive microenvironment. Cabozantinib is approved as single-agent therapy for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who received prior sorafenib. Owing to its antitumor and immunomodulatory properties, cabozantinib is being developed in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Early studies of these combinations have shown promising antitumor activity and tolerability in patients with solid tumors. Here, we describe the rationale and design of COSMIC-312, a Phase III study evaluating the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib in combination with atezolizumab (anti–PD-L1 monoclonal antibody) versus sorafenib for treatment-naive patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
