ABSTRACT
Aim:
Locoregional treatment, such as TACE, in combination with immunotherapy may elicit a synergistic anticancer effect. However, TACE combined with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (atezo/bev) has not been investigated for patients with intermediate stage (BCLC B) HCC beyond the up-to-seven criteria. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this treatment strategy in intermediate-stage HCC patients with large or multinodular tumors exceeding the up-to-seven criteria.Methods:
This multicenter retrospective study included patients with intermediate stage (BCLC B) HCC beyond the up-to-seven criteria treated with TACE combined with atezo/bev from five centers in China from March to September 2021. The outcomes of this study included the objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were analyzed to assess safety.Results:
A total of 21 patients were enrolled in this study, with a median follow-up duration of 11.7 months. According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, the best ORR was 42.9% and the DCR was 100%. According to modified RECIST (mRECIST), the best ORR and DCR were 61.9% and 100%, respectively. The median PFS and OS were not reached. The most common TRAEs at all levels were fever (71.4%), and the most common grade 3/4 TRAE was hypertension (14.3%).Conclusions:
TACE combined with atezo/bev showed encouraging efficacy and an acceptable safety profile, making it a promising treatment option for patients with BCLC B HCC beyond the up-to-seven criteria, which will be further investigated in a prospective single-arm trial.
