Current and Emerging Biomarkers Reflecting Cancer Biology in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
( Richard S. Finn ) 대한간학회 2017 춘·추계 학술대회 (KASL) Vol.2017 No.1
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a molecularly diverse disease. There has been a significant amount of research that has classified HCC into various molecular subgroups, yet clinically these have not had a significant impact. These studies are being used to not only identify markers that are prognostic for outcome but are also being used to identify new targets for treatment. The failure of many systemic agents in advanced HCC can be related to the inability to properly stratify patients for clinical behavior, but also the lack of predictive markers of response. In the lecture we will review the emerging science behind new biomarkers in HCC and how they are being applied to drug discovery and clinical trial designs.

<P><B>Summary</B></P> <P><B>Background</B></P> <P>In a phase 2 trial, lenvatinib, an inhibitor of VEGF receptors 1–3, FGF receptors 1–4, PDGF receptor α, RET, and KIT, showed activity in hepatocellular carcinoma. We aimed to compare overall survival in patients treated with lenvatinib versus sorafenib as a first-line treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.</P> <P><B>Methods</B></P> <P>This was an open-label, phase 3, multicentre, non-inferiority trial that recruited patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, who had not received treatment for advanced disease, at 154 sites in 20 countries throughout the Asia-Pacific, European, and North American regions. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) via an interactive voice–web response system—with region; macroscopic portal vein invasion, extrahepatic spread, or both; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; and bodyweight as stratification factors—to receive oral lenvatinib (12 mg/day for bodyweight ≥60 kg or 8 mg/day for bodyweight <60 kg) or sorafenib 400 mg twice-daily in 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was overall survival, measured from the date of randomisation until the date of death from any cause. The efficacy analysis followed the intention-to-treat principle, and only patients who received treatment were included in the safety analysis. The non-inferiority margin was set at 1·08. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01761266.</P> <P><B>Findings</B></P> <P>Between March 1, 2013 and July 30, 2015, 1492 patients were recruited. 954 eligible patients were randomly assigned to lenvatinib (n=478) or sorafenib (n=476). Median survival time for lenvatinib of 13·6 months (95% CI 12·1–14·9) was non-inferior to sorafenib (12·3 months, 10·4–13·9; hazard ratio 0·92, 95% CI 0·79–1·06), meeting criteria for non-inferiority. The most common any-grade adverse events were hypertension (201 [42%]), diarrhoea (184 [39%]), decreased appetite (162 [34%]), and decreased weight (147 [31%]) for lenvatinib, and palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia (249 [52%]), diarrhoea (220 [46%]), hypertension (144 [30%]), and decreased appetite (127 [27%]) for sorafenib.</P> <P><B>Interpretation</B></P> <P>Lenvatinib was non-inferior to sorafenib in overall survival in untreated advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The safety and tolerability profiles of lenvatinib were consistent with those previously observed.</P> <P><B>Funding</B></P> <P>Eisai Inc.</P>
