Abstract
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of lenvatinib plus PD-1 inhibitors (LP) and regorafenib (R) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after sorafenib failure. From June 2018 to September 2021, 68 patients from a single center who received lenvatinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors or regorafenib after sorafenib treatment failure were analyzed. The tumor response and survival outcomes were compared between the LP group and R group. Prognostic factors for OS and PFS were determined using Cox proportional hazard regression models. The ORR increased in the LP group (19.5% vs 7.4%, p =0.294), and the DCR was better in the R group (73.2% vs 44.4%, p =0.017). Additionally, median PFS and OS were not significantly different between the LP group and R two groups in survival analysis (PFS: 5.3 months vs 3.0 months, p =0.633; OS: 11.8 months vs 8.0 months, p =0.699). The common adverse events (≥grade 3) were hand-foot skin reactions (13.1%). In multivariate analyses, AFP≥400 ng/mL and ECOG PS 2 were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. The LP group appeared to have a trend of greater tumor response and a higher disease control rate than the R group among patients with sorafenib-resistant HCC, although PFS and OS did not differ significantly between the two groups.
