A New Era of Systemic Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Regorafenib and Lenvatinib

Open access
Kudo, Masatoshi·2017·Liver Cancer

Abstract

The SHARP study in 2007 [1] and the Asia Pacific study in 2008 [2] led to the worldwide approval of sorafenib as the standard therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, clinical trials investigating sunitinib [3] , brivanib [4] , and linifanib [5] as first-line treatments, with sorafenib as a control arm, failed to meet their primary endpoint of improving overall survival (OS). In addition, global phase III studies investigating secondline therapy with brivanib [6] , everolimus [7] , and ramucirumab [8] , and a regional trial investigating S-1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil) in Japan, were unsuccessful ( Table 1 ). Thus, sorafenib was the only systemic therapeutic agent available for HCC, and for some time no options were available for patients with progressive disease or those intolerant to sorafenib. However, between June 2016 and January 2017, promising results of global phase III studies were reported. The results of a trial of regorafenib were reported at a conference [9] and in a journal [10] , and results with lenvatinib were reported in a press release [11] , indicating the arrival of a new era of liver cancer therapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
