摘要:
本研究比较了Lenvatinib和程序性细胞死亡蛋白(PD-1)与仅使用Lenvatinib治疗基于改良固体肿瘤反应评估标准标准的晚期肝细胞癌(Ad-HCC)难治型肝动脉灌注化疗(HAIC)的疗效和安全性。从2016年4月至2021年9月,两名放射科医师筛选出145名符合改良固体肿瘤反应评估标准标准的Ad-HCC患者,分为HAIC-lenvatinib组(H-L,n= 87)和HAIC-lenvatinib-PD-1组(H-L-P,n= 58)。我们采用倾向性评分匹配方法来减少选择性偏差。采用Kaplan-Meier分析和对数秩检验比较总体生存率(OS)和进展后无进展生存率(PPS)。采用前向逐步Cox回归模型评估独立预后因子的多变量分析。倾向性评分匹配1:1后,H-L-P组的中位OS为43.6个月,显著长于H-L组(18.9个月)(p=0.009)。H-L-P组的中位PPS为35.6个月,显著长于H-L组(9.4个月)(p=0.009)。多元分析表明,对OS显着影响的因素是 α-fetoprotein(风险比[HR],2.14;95%CI,1.26-3.98;p=0.006)、对HAIC的早期反应(HR,0.44;95%CI,1.20-3.85;p=0.009)和H-L治疗(HR,0.52;95%CI,0.30-0.86;p=0.012)。修正后的蛋白/胆红素级别(HR,1.32;95%CI,1.03-1.70;p=0.026)、对HAIC的早期反应(HR,0.44;95%CI,0.25-0.77;p=0.004)和H-L(HR,0.47;95%CI,0.28-0.78;p=0.003)显著影响PPS。PD-1抑制剂与Lenvatinib的联合治疗在管理HAIC难治性Ad-HCC患者的生存好处方面具有前途。Lenvatinib加程序性细胞死亡蛋白1抑制剂是一种有效且安全的进展后治疗,相对于仅使用Lenvatinib治疗的患者,它显著改善了总体生存率和进展后无进展生存率。 ©2023美国癌症协会。
This study compares the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib and programmed cell death protein (PD)-1 versus lenvatinib alone for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (Ad-HCC) refractory to hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC).From April 2016 to September 2021, 145 patients with Ad-HCC refractory to HAIC based on modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria were enrolled by two radiologists and classified into the HAIC-lenvatinib group (H-L, n = 87) and HAIC-lenvatinib-PD-1 group (H-L-P, n = 58). A propensity score-matching method was used to reduce selective bias. The overall survival (OS) and postprogression-free survival (PPS) rates were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test. Multivariable analyses of independent prognostic factors were evaluated by means of the forward stepwise Cox regression model.After propensity score matching 1:1, the median OS was 43.6 months in the H-L-P group and was significantly longer than that (18.9 months) of the H-L group (p = .009). The median PPS was 35.6 months in the H-L-P group and was significantly longer than that (9.4 months) of the H-L group (p = .009). Multivariate analyses showed that the factors that significantly affected the OS were α-fetoprotein (hazard ratio [HR], 2.14; 95% CI, 1.26-3.98; p = .006), early response to HAIC (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 1.20-3.85; p = .009), and H-L treatment (HR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.30-0.86; p = .012). Modified albumin-bilirubin grade (HR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.03-1.70; p = .026), early response to HAIC (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.25-0.77; p = .004), and H-L (HR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.28-0.78; p = .003) significantly affected the PPS.This combination therapy of PD-1 inhibitors plus lenvatinib has promising survival benefits in the management of patients with Ad-HCC refractory to HAIC.Lenvatinib plus programmed death 1 inhibitor is an effective and safe postprogression treatment and improved significantly overall survival and postprogression-free survival compared with lenvatinib alone in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma refractory to hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy.© 2023 American Cancer Society.
