Pattern of progression in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with ramucirumab
2020
Abstract Background & Aims Radiological progression patterns to first‐line sorafenib have been associated with post‐progression and overall survival in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, but these associations remain unknown for therapies in second‐ and later‐line settings. This post hoc analysis of REACH and REACH‐2 examined outcomes by radiological progression patterns in the second‐line setting of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with ramucirumab or placebo. Methods Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, Child‐Pugh A and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0 or 1 with prior sorafenib were randomized to receive ramucirumab 8mg/kg or place…
Ramucirumab in elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and elevated alpha-fetoprotein after sorafenib in REACH and REACH-2.
2020
Background & Aims: Limited data on treatment of elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) increase the unmet need. REACH and REACH-2 were global phase III studies of ramucirumab in patients with HCC after prior sorafenib, where patients with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) ≥400 ng/mL showed an overall ssurvival (OS) benefit for ramucirumab. These post-hoc analyses examined efficacy and safety of ramucirumab in patients with HCC and baseline AFP ≥ 400 ng/mL by three prespecified age subgroups (<65, ≥65 to <75 and ≥75 years). Methods: Individual patient data were pooled from REACH (baseline AFP ≥400 ng/mL) and REACH-2. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression methods …
