Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Apatinib is a small molecule TKI inhibitor. Its efficacy and safety for unresectable HCC patients have been demonstrated in randomized controlled clinical studies. However, the efficacy and safety of apatinib in real world is lacking. We are aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in real world.MethodsPatients of older than 18 years with unresectable HCC confirmed by IHC (Immunohistochemistry) or CT and MR Imaging were enrolled in the study. All patients received apatinib monotherapy or combined with other treatments including TACE and chemotherapy. The enrolled patients were treated until disease progression, death, or severe intolerable toxicity, etc. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR), and secondary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The adverse events (AEs) were also recorded.ResultsFrom February, 2019 to May, 2020, a total of 233 patients were enrolled. Among them, 66 (28.33%) patients received apatinib monotherapy and 167 (71.67%) patients received combination therapy. Patients with a history of hepatitis accounted for 70%. 8 patients achieved complete response (CR), 64 patients achieved partial response (PR), 120 patients achieved stable disease (SD), and 41 patients had progressive disease (PD), illustrating an ORR of 30.90% and a DCR of 82.40%. Median PFS and OS were 6.93 months (95% CI, 6.19-7.68 months) and 11.36 months (95% CI, 9.96-12.77 months), respectively. The safety profile indicated that the most common drug-related adverse events were hypertension (37.90%), hand-foot-skin reaction (27.39%), fatigue (19.11%), thrombocytopenia (16.02%). Grade 3/4 treatment related AEs included thrombocytopenia (4.30%), hypertension (3.82%), neutropenia (2.73%). After symptomatic treatment, all the adverse events were treated properly, and no unexpected adverse events were observed. Conclusions In current study, apatininb showed good tolerance with acceptable toxicity and high tumor response rate that translated into promising PFS and OS in unresectable HCC patients.
