RESUMO
A mixed effect model describing median overall survival (mOS) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC) treated with antiangiogenic therapy (AAT) was developed from literature data. Data were extracted from 59 studies, representing 4,813 patients. The final model included estimates of mOS after AAT (8.5 months) or placebo (7.1 months) administration. The mOS increased 21% when the AAT was sorafenib (SOR) or 42% when locoregional therapy was coadministered. The mOS decreased when patients received prior systemic therapy (↓7%) or concomitant chemotherapy (↓4%) or the percentage of patients with hepatitis B increased (↓â¼0.4%/%). Clinical trial simulations of a phase II comparative trial predicted an mOS ratio (placebo:AAT) of 0.687 or 0.831, with a 65% or 22% probability of demonstrating superiority, for SOR or other AATs, respectively. Additionally, the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the simulated median mOS ratio for non-SOR AATs was similar to the 95% CI of the hazard ratio (HR) observed in the trial.

To assess the QTc prolongation by ritonavir (RTV) 100 mg and explore its potential use as CYP3A inhibitor in thorough QTc (TQT) studies. Randomized, crossover study of single-dose RTV 100 mg, placebo, and moxifloxacin (MFLX) 400 mg in 65 healthy subjects with serial triplicate electrocardiograms obtained for 12 h post-dose. Largest mean placebo-adjusted QTcF increase from baseline (90% confidence interval (CI)) for RTV 100 mg was noninferior to placebo (0.16 ms (-1.38, 1.69)). Study sensitivity was validated by detecting the largest mean placebo-adjusted QTcF increase from baseline (90% CI) for MFLX of 8.31 ms (6.44, 10.18). A single dose of RTV 100 mg does not cause QTc prolongation in healthy subjects. Based on the potent CYP3A4 inhibition, lack of QTc effect and better safety profile, RTV 100 mg could replace ketoconazole as the CYP3A4 inhibitor in TQT studies.
