Safety And Efficacy

PurposeTo explore the safety and efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC).Materials and MethodsFrom August 2019 to July 2020, patients who received TACE combined with ICIs and TKIs were retrospectively analyzed. Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were recorded. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to estimate time to progression (TTP) and progression-free survival (PFS).ResultsIn total, 31 patients with uHCC were included. Eleven patients were classified as BCLC-C. Nineteen patients had multiple lesions, and the cumulative targeted lesions were 69 mm (range, 21-170 mm) according to mRECIST. Twenty-nine (93%) patients experienced at least one AE during the treatment. Four (12.9%) patients developed AEs of higher grade (grade≥3). The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 64.5% and 77.4%, respectively. The median time to response was 7 weeks (range, 4-30 w), and the duration of response was 17.5 weeks (range, 2-46 w). From the first ICIs, TTP and PFS were 6.5 months (95% CI, 3.5-11) and 8.5 months (95% CI, 3.5-NE), respectively.ConclusionsTACE combined with ICIs and TKIs shows an acceptable safety profile and considerable efficacy in patients with HCC.

AbstractIn terms of global cancer-related deaths, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has the fourth highest mortality rate. Up until 2017, treatment of advanced HCC was largely limited to sorafenib, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with little to no success in the development of alternative treatment options. However, in the past two years, there has been an unprecedented increase in both the number and type of treatment options available for HCC. As of 2019, the US FDA has approved four oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors, two immune checkpoint inhibitors, and one anti-angiogenesis antibody for the treatment of HCC. Even with this new variety, systemic treatment of advanced HCC remains largely unsatisfactory, and the median survival rate stands at approximately one year. The expected breakthrough of using immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced HCC did not materialize in 2019. The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in conjunction with oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors or anti-angiogenesis medications is the current clinical research trend, the results of which are eagerly anticipated. Despite limited progress in survival, HCC research is currently experiencing a period of growth and innovation, and there is hope for significant advances in the treatment of advanced HCC as the field continues to develop.

Heavily Pretreated

Introduction Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a highly vascularized and immunogenic tumor. At the time of this study, there was limited published data on the combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients who were heavily pretreated. At our institution, providers have used these combinations in heavily pretreated patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of patients receiving this combination with the primary objectives of assessing duration of therapy and toxicities and a secondary objective of disease progression at six months. We included adult patients with confirmed mRCC receiving combination therapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors/tyrosine kinase inhibitors) any time after January 2015. Electronic medical records were reviewed for pertinent data and follow-up descriptive statistics were performed. Results Fifteen patients were on combination immune checkpoint inhibitors/tyrosine kinase inhibitors, with a median of three lines of previous therapy. The median duration of combination therapy was 7.2 months (range: 0.2 to 39.8) with 126 incidences of toxicities. The most frequent toxicity was fatigue (n = 15), followed by diarrhea (n = 8), anorexia (n = 7) and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (n = 7). Overall, 9 (60%) patients experienced at least one grade 3 or 4 toxicity. Eight of 15 (53%) patients remained on therapy at the six-month mark and did not have progression confirmed by an oncologist. Of the 15 patients, 10 discontinued therapy due to progression, 2 due to intolerable side effects, 2 transitioned to end of life care, and 1 patient was still ongoing at the time of data collection. Conclusion Based on this review, it appears that combination tyrosine kinase inhibitors/immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy in pre-treated patients with mRCC is tolerable and beneficial.
