BLOCKADE OF ANGIOTENSIN-II AUGMENTS THE RESPONSIVENESS OF HUMAN LIVER CANCER CELLS TO LENVATINIB () - Oct 23, 2022 - Abstract #AASLD2022AASLD_2019; This combination regimen may provide advantageous outcomes to patients with intolerance to a common dose of lenvatinib due to adverse effects including hypertension. Given that AT-II blockers are clinically available without severe toxicities, they may eventually emerge as viable modulators of molecular targeted agents for patients with advanced HCC.

TARGETING CHRONIC VEGF-C SIGNALING MITIGATES DISEASE PROGRESSION IN NON-ALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS () - Oct 23, 2022 - Abstract #AASLD2022AASLD_1210; However, a larger study is required for the validation of surrogate biomarkers for estimating the occurrence and severity of AEs in systemic chemotherapy for HCC, such as with lenvatinib. Taken together, these findings indicate that chronic VEGF-C production in NASH plays a role in propagating liver fibrosis and steatosis, and that blockade of the downstream receptors for VEGF-C, VEGFR2 and VEGFR3, may be a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate disease severity.

NOVEL APPROACHES TO IMPROVE IMMUNOTHERAPY FOR NASH-INDUCED HCC () - Oct 23, 2022 - Abstract #AASLD2022AASLD_1206; Until recently, multi-kinase inhibitor like sorafenib and Lenvatinib have been standard of care (SOC) for patients with advanced-stage HCC. Combining metabolic-regulating reagents with ICI could become a novel therapeutic strategy for NASH-related HCC.

Efficacy and safety of tislelizumab (TIS) plus lenvatinib (LEN) as first-line treatment in patients (pts) with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC): a single-arm, multicenter, phase II trial (Foyer ABC) - Oct 21, 2022 - Abstract #ESMOIO2022ESMO_IO_318; P2 Table: 165P Confirmed tumor response per RECIST v1.1 (efficacy evaluable analysis set*, n=62) IRC Investigator review Objective Response Rate, % (95% CI) 38.7 (26.6, 51.9) 41.9 (29.5, 55.2) Best Overall Response, n (%) Complete Response 0 (0.0) 1 (1.6) Partial Response 24 (38.7) 25 (40.3) Stable Disease 32 (51.6) 27 (43.5) Progressive Disease 5 (8.1) 8 (12.9) Not Assessable 1 (1.6) 1 (1.6) Disease Control Rate, % (95% CI) 90.3 (80.1, 96.4) 85.5 (74.2, 93.1) ∗Include pts with measurable disease at baseline per RECIST v1.1 who had ≥1 dose of TIS or LEN, and had ≥1 post-baseline tumor assessment (included 1 patient who died with confirmed clinical disease progression before the first radiological assessment). Conclusions TIS plus LEN showed promising antitumor activity with acceptable safety profile as first-line treatment for uHCC.

Our study represents a real-world evidence of first line therapy combinations and we hope that the ongoing analysis of a custom NGS panel could generate data to inform clinicians and helping therapeutic decision making process. Finding predictive biomarkers for choos- ing the most suitable treatment for every pts and overcom- ing therapy resistance remains an unmet need in mRCC.

(Pubmed Central) - Oct 19, 2022 She subsequently received treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), sorafenib and then lenvatinib, as treatments for advanced disease, thereby achieving long-term disease stability. This case report, which adds to the limited data available on MMSO treatment, suggests that patients treated with a combination of radioactive iodine, radiation therapy, and TKIs can result in good responses and long-term overall survival.
