Review, Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker: Systemic Treatment Options in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 8, 2019 Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical trial data of systemic agents that are currently approved for advanced HCC (sorafenib, regorafenib, and nivolumab), including agents recently approved in 2018 (lenvatinib, pembrolizumab, and cabozantinib) and those with recent positive phase II/III results (ramucirumab)...The treatment of advanced HCC remains challenging and complex. The rapid developments in systemic therapy for advanced HCC should be considered when determining the best choice and sequence of treatment for patients with advanced HCC.

Journal: Lenvatinib: A Review in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 29, 2019 Given its non-inferior efficacy to sorafenib and manageable tolerability profile, lenvatinib represents a long-awaited alternative option to sorafenib for the first-line systemic treatment of patients with unresectable HCC. Further clinical experience may be required to fully define the position of lenvatinib in this setting.

Review, Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO Biomarker: Systemic Treatment for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 29, 2019 Lenvatinib is expected to join sorafenib as a preferred first-line treatment in advanced HCC. In the second line, the treatment of choice, regorafenib, is soon expected to be accompanied by cabozantinib and ramucirumab in patients with AFP ≥400 ng/mL, whereas nivolumab and pembrolizumab present second-line alternatives in the US.

Journal: A computer-assisted discovery of novel potential anti-obesity compounds as selective carbonic anhydrase VA inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 27, 2019 The docking analysis highlighted 12 promising best hits, biologically characterized in terms of their hCA VA inhibitory activity. Interestingly, among them, the anticancer agents fludarabine and lenvatinib and the antiepileptic rufinamide were able to selectively inhibit the enzyme activity in the micromolar range, while a pyrido-indole derivative, the homovanillic acid sulfate and the desacetyl metabolite of the antibacterial cephapirin in the nanomolar range.

Clinical, Journal, HEOR: Lenvatinib Versus Sorafenib as First-Line Treatment of Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Cost-Utility Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 23, 2019 This cost-utility analysis showed that lenvatinib had a similar clinical effectiveness at a lower cost than sorafenib, indicating that lenvatinib may be a cost-saving measure in patients with unresectable HCC, in which $23,719 could be saved per patient. The introduction of a new therapeutic option for the first time in 10 years in Canada provides an important opportunity for clinicians, researchers, and health care decision-makers to explore potential modifications in recommendations and practice guidelines.
