e16117 Combining radiation therapy with anti-PD-1 for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: an open-label, single-center, single-arm clinical study Jian-Xu Li, Ting-Shi Su, Xiao-Feng Lin, Yi-Tian Chen, Shi-Xiong Liang, Bang-De Xiang; Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital, Nanning, China Abstract Research Funding: Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China. Guangxi Medical and Health Appropriate Technology Development and Application Project (No. S2019039), Guangxi, China. Background: Based on the results of recent studies, the PD-1 monoclonal antibodies have been approved to treat the patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by the FDA. Radiation therapy (RT) can enhance responsiveness to PD-1 monoclonal antibody by potential mechanisms. A phase Ⅱa study was conducted to assess the safety and the efficacy of combining RT with anti-PD-1 for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Patients with advanced HCC were eligible. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) were adopted, and the dose of radiation were Dt-PGTV 30-50 Gy/10fractions. Camrelizumab (200mg) were given intravenously every 3 weeks since the first day of RT until disease progression, or intolerable toxicity. Adverse events (AEs) and objective response rate (ORR) were summarized to assess the safety and efficacy. Results: From April 2020 to November 2020, 17 patients were enrolled (median age 54, range 32-69). 15 (88%) patients were male. 14 (82%) had ECOG performance score of 0. All the patients had Child-Pugh score A. 16 patients staged as Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging C or China Liver Cancer staging Ⅲ. Extrahepatic metastases were identified in 11 (65%) patients. 13 (77%) patients were Hepatitis B virus infected. 15 (88%) patients had previously 2 lines or more chemotherapy. 9 (53%) patients had Alpha-fetoprotein level≥400 ng/ml. The ORR was 47%. The best response assessed by RECIST 1.1 was partial response (8 patients). Four patients had grade 3 immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including increased aspartate aminotransferase and alanine transaminase (n =1),decreased hemoglobin (n =1),decreased platelet count (n =1),decreased neutrophil count (n =1). All grade 3 irAEs were mitigated with proper treatment. None treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusions: In this study, RT combined with anti-PD-1 had an acceptable safety profile and indicated an effective treatment option in patients with unresectable HCC. Clinical trial information: NCT04193696. Clinical trial information: NCT04193696.

e16121 Background: Programmed cell death protein‐1(PD-1) targeted immunotherapy is a promising treatment strategy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Anti-PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab showed antitumour activity in phase II studies of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, with manageable toxicities. This study evaluates safety and efficacy of camrelizumab in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: This is a multicentre, real‐world trial done at thirty-three centres in Fujian Province, China. Eligible patients were aged 18 to 75 years was diagnosed by China Liver Cancer Staging(CNLC) 2019 clinical diagnostic criteria or with a histological or cytological diagnosis of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, unresectable or had progressed on or were intolerant to previous systemic treatment, and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 0-1. Patients were received camrelizumab 200 mg intravenously every 2 weeks plus other treatments, such as molecular targeted drug, transcatheyer artetial chemoembolization, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival. Safety was analysed in all treated patients. Follow-up is ongoing. Results: Between Mar 12, 2020, and Dec 25, 2020, 63 patients were screened for eligibility, of whom 41 eligible patients received camrelizumab were recruited and among whom 15 received apatinib, 16 received lenvatinib, 2 received sorafenib and 1 received regorafenib. Median followup was 5.28 months (IQR 1.63–10.20). Objective response was reported in 12 (29.3%; 95% CI 16.1–45.5) of 41 patients. Disease control was reported in 34 (82.9%; 95% CI 67.9–92.8) of 41 patients. The median PFS was not reached, and expected more than 9 months. Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 21 (51.2%) of 41 patients; the most common were increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (15 [36.6%]) and increased aspartate aminotransferase (7 [17%]). One death was judged by the investigators to be potentially treatment-related (due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding). Conclusions: Camrelizumab showed promising efficacy and safety in pretreated Chinese patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, and might represent a new treatment option for these patients.
