Well-preserved liver function enhances the clinical impact of curative-intent subsequent treatment during lenvatinib treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma

BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinical impact of curative-intent subsequent treatment on overall prognosis in lenvatinib-treated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

METHODS: Eighty-three consecutive patients with intrahepatic target nodules who received lenvatinib were reviewed. The clinical impact of curative-intent subsequent treatments was investigated through analysis of overall survival (OS) according to pathological deterioration stratified by mALBI grade.

RESULTS: In patients with mALBI grade 1 and 2a liver function, R0 resection and lenvatinib-transarterial chemoembolization (lenvatinib-TACE) sequential therapy resulted in significantly better OS compared with other, non-curative-intent subsequent therapy and lack of additional treatment (median OS, 37.6 vs 29.0 months and 17.1 vs 8.9 months, respectively; P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that use of R0 resection and lenvatinib-TACE sequential therapy were associated with better OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.021; P < 0.001 and 0.108; P < 0.001) compared with other, non-curative-intent subsequent treatment (HR 0.256; P = 0.010). In contrast, in patients with mALBI grade 2b liver function, multivariate analysis confirmed higher treatment efficacy for non-curative-intent subsequent treatment with respect to OS (HR 0.041; P < 0.001) compared with R0 resection and lenvatinib-TACE sequential therapy (HR 0.057; P = 0.027 and 0.063; P = 0.001).

CONCLUSION: Curative-intent subsequent treatment is more useful for HCC patients with better liver function (mALBI grade 1 and 2a) and intrahepatic target nodules who have received lenvatini b-based treatment.
