Abstract Text | This study investigated the efficacy and safety of avelumab, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma previously treated with sorafenib (NCT03389126).This is a single-arm, single center, phase II trial. Patients with Child-Pugh A score who had at least one measurable lesion were enrolled. Intravenous avelumab 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks was given until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), and safety.A total of 30 patients were enrolled. After a median follow-up of 13.9 months, 27 progression events and 20 death events occurred. There was no complete response, 3 (10.0%) partial response, and 19 (63.3%) stable disease. ORR was 10.0% and DCR was 73.3%. The median TTP and OS was 4.4 and 14.2 months, respectively. PD-L1 expression did not affect avelumab response. Prior duration of sorafenib treatment, when dichotomized by the median 2.7 months, was associated with treatment outcome. TTP (6.5 vs. 1.8 months, p = 0.007) and OS (19.0 vs. 7.8 months, p = 0.006) were superior in patients with longer sorafenib duration. There was tendency of higher ORR (20.0% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.22) in those with longer sorafenib duration. Avelumab was well tolerated with 7 grade 3 adverse events and no grade 4 adverse events.Avelumab showed moderate efficacy and was well tolerated in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma previously treated with sorafenib. |
