- |||||||||| A pilot trial evaluating the rapid sequencing of approved therapies in patients (pts) with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). (On Demand | Level 1, West Hall; Poster Board No. N9) - Jan 10, 2023 - Abstract #ASCOGU2023ASCO_GU_710;
P1 In COSMIC-313, the triplet combination with cabozantinib (CABO)-ipilimumab (IPI)-nivolumab (NIVO) demonstrated promising efficacy compared to IPI-NIVO in pts with intermediate/poor risk disease, but definitive overall survival (OS) benefit has yet to be shown, and is associated with higher incidence of adverse events...Subsequent therapy is dependent on response, and can be NIVO 480mg IV Q4W (CR/PR/SD), lenvatinib 18mg + everolimus 5mg PO QD (PD on both prior regimens), or re-initiation of CABO 60mg PO QD (CR/PR/SD at CABO but PD on IPI-NIVO)...The trial is currently enrolling pts. Clinical trial information: NCT05188118.

We found that the previously valued therapeutic effect of lenvatinib may be unsatisfactory; combining tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors (TKIs) with other agents results in a higher rate of clinical benefit...The AEs reported for all agents are relatively numerous but largely manageable clinically. More clinical trials are expected to further confirm the effectiveness and safety of these targeted drugs for ATC.

These drugs not only can limit the cancer spread, but in some circumstance they are able to induce the re-differentiation of aggressive tumors, which can be again submitted to new attempts of RAI therapy. In this review we explore the current knowledge on the genetic landscape of TC and its implication on the development of new precise therapeutic strategies.

The medications are significantly different; even in the same class and may affect IR procedures.Clinical Findings/Procedure Details:Current medical therapies available to treat HCC including multi-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (sorafenib; regorafenib; lenvatinib; cabozantinib); monoclonal antibodies (ramucirumab and bevacizumab) which target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); and immunotherapies (nivolumab; atezolizumab; pembrolizumab; durvalumab; tremelimumab)...Other medical therapies with phase 3 trial results such as tislelizumab and camrelizumab plus rivoceranib will be reviewed...Finally; we will review a single arm trial of combined neoadjuvant cabozantinib and nivolumab which converted 80% of non-resectable HCCs to successful resection.Conclusion and/or Teaching Points:Interventional Radiologists treating HCC need to stay abreast of the medical therapies available to HCC since the therapies are continuously expanding in number and combinations and may interplay with IR treatments. Moreover; some oncologists are now espousing medical therapy as neoadjuvant; adjuvant or even as alternative therapies.

Journal, Real-world evidence, Real-world: Risk Factors for Hepatic Encephalopathy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Sorafenib or Lenvatinib Treatment: A Real-World Study. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 5, 2023 At time of data cut-off (2021-12), the incidence of HE in sorafenib group (4.2%, 95% CI:2-7%) was significantly lower than that in lenvatinib group (11.3%,95% CI:7-15%) (p = 0.006), with alcoholic cirrhosis [OR: 5.857 (95% CI: 1.519-22.591)], Child-Pugh >7 [OR: 3.023 (95% CI: 1.135-8.053)], blood ammonia ≥38.65 μmol/L [OR: 4.693 (95% CI: 1.782-12.358)], total bile acid ≥29.5 μmol/L [OR: 11.047 (95% CI: 4.414-27.650)] and duration of treatment ≥5.6 months [OR: 4.350 (95% CI: 1.701-11.126)] to be risk factors for the occurrence of HE during first-line systemic therapy. In our study, for off-label uHCC patients (Child-Pugh >7) with alcoholic cirrhosis, hyperammonemia, hypercholesterolemia, and estimated longer duration of treatment, the application of lenvatinib has to be cautious, which needs to be confirmed in future clinical trials.
