摘要:
目的 评估经肝动脉化疗栓塞术(TACE)联合卡瑞利珠单抗及阿帕替尼治疗中晚期肝细胞癌(HCC)的疗效和安全性。 方法 选取2019年7月—2021年6月在苏州大学附属第一医院诊治且符合入排标准的19例中晚期HCC患者,接受TACE联合卡瑞利珠单抗及阿帕替尼治疗,依据改良实体瘤疗效评价标准(mRECIST)评估肿瘤反应,依据通用不良事件术语5.0标准(CTCAE v5.0标准)评估不良事件。采用Kaplan-Meier法对无进展生存期、总生存期进行分析并计算95%CI。 结果 19例患者中位随访时间为14.0个月。截至最后一次随访,根据mRECIST标准,19例患者中有7例(36.8%)最佳反应达到完全缓解,9例(47.4%)达到部分缓解,2例(10.5%)达到疾病稳定,随访期间总客观缓解率达到84.2%,总疾病控制率达到94.7%,中位持续缓解时间达到8.0(3.4~13.0)个月,中位无进展生存期达到9.5(95% CI:4.7~14.3)个月,6个月生存率达到100%,12个月生存率达到78.9%。19例患者中发生7例(36.8%)严重不良事件。所有级别中最常见不良事件包括TACE栓塞后综合征(17例,89.5%)、肝损伤(14例,73.7%)、血液系统毒性(8例,42.1%)、蛋白尿(8例,42.1%)等。 结论 TACE联合卡瑞利珠单抗及阿帕替尼治疗中晚期HCC疗效肯定,不良事件可控,为中晚期HCC患者的一线治疗提供了潜在的新治疗选择。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with camrelizumab and apatinib in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods From July 2019 to June 2021, 19 patients with advanced HCC who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were enrolled in this study. All patients received TACE combined with camrelizumab and apatinib. Tumor response was assessed according to Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST), and adverse events were assessed according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (v5.0). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze progression-free survival and overall survival and calculate 95% confidence interval (CI). Results The median follow-up time was 14.0 months for the 19 patients. As of the last follow-up based on mRECIST, 7 patients (7/19, 36.8%) achieved complete response, 9 (9/19, 47.4%) achieved partial response, and 2 (2/19, 10.5%) achieved stable disease. During follow-up, overall objective response rate and overall disease control rate reached 84.2% and 94.7%, respectively; the median duration of response reached 8.0 (3.4-13.0) months, and median progression-free survival reached 9.5 (95%CI: 4.7-14.3) months; the 6-month survival rate reached 100%, and the 12-month survival rate reached 78.9%. Among the 19 patients, 7 (36.8%) experienced serious adverse events. The most common adverse events of all grades included post-embolization syndrome after TACE (17/19, 89.5%), liver injury (14/19, 73.7%), hematologic toxicity (8/19, 42.1%), and proteinuria (8/19, 42.1%). Conclusion TACE combined with camrelizumab and apatinib has marked efficacy and controllable adverse events in the treatment of advanced HCC, which provides a potential new option for the first-line treatment of advanced HCC. -

注:患者,男性,55岁,因上腹部隐痛2周,体检发现肝占位1周入院。a,联合治疗前的腹部增强MR动脉期示,肝右叶肿瘤伴肝内多发转移(红色箭头),腰椎及左侧肾上腺转移瘤(白色箭头);评估为BCLC C期(CNLC Ⅲb期);b,经过一次TACE和三个周期的卡瑞利珠单抗与阿帕替尼联合治疗后的腹部增强MR动脉期示,肝右叶肿瘤明显缩小,活性较基线时明显减低,肝内转移性病灶均缩小或消失(红色箭头),胸椎转移瘤基本失活(白色箭头),左侧肾上腺转移瘤消失;疗效评价为PR;c,经过满一年联合治疗后的腹部增强MR动脉期示:肝右叶肿瘤继续缩小,活性继续减低,肝内转移性病灶均失活或消失(红色箭头),胸椎转移瘤失活(白色箭头),左侧肾上腺转移瘤消失;疗效评价为PR;d,TACE前后腹部CT平扫对比,①肝右叶可见一低密度占位,其内密度不均(黄色箭头),②肝右叶病灶体积较前缩小,其内碘油沉积良好(黄色箭头)。
