To compare the treatment effectiveness and safety among transarterial infusion chemotherapy (TAI) with FOLFOX regimen, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), and sorafenib in patients with BCLC stage C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The data of consecutive patients with BCLC stage C HCC treated with TAI, TACE, or sorafenib from January 2015 to December 2018 at three centers were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity-score matched (PSM) analysis was pairwise performed to reduce selection bias. Treatment effectiveness and safety were evaluated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, Cox regression models, and χ test.
The median overall survival (OS) in the matched TAI cohort was significantly longer than the sorafenib cohort (19.6 7.5 months, P=0.009), and the TACE cohort (estimated 27.8 6.6 months, P<0.001). The difference in median progression-free survival (PFS) between the matched TAI and sorafenib cohorts was not significant (5.8 . 2.3 months, P=0.219). The median PFS in the matched TAI cohort was significantly longer than the TACE cohort (6.5 . 2.8 months, P<0.001). The objective response rate (ORR) in the matched TAI cohort was significantly higher than the sorafenib cohort (36.4% . 0.0%, P<0.001) and the TACE cohort (48.7% . 4.7%, P<0.001). The incidences of adverse events (AEs) were similar among these three cohorts.
TAI with FOLFOX regimen was an effective and safe therapy that improved survival of patients with BCLC stage C HCC.
比较经动脉灌注化疗(TAI)联合FOLFOX方案、经动脉化疗栓塞(TACE)及索拉非尼治疗BCLC C期肝细胞癌(HCC)患者的疗效及安全性。
回顾性分析2015年1月至2018年12月在三个中心接受TAI、TACE或索拉非尼治疗的连续性BCLC C期HCC患者的数据。进行倾向评分匹配(PSM)分析以减少选择偏倚。采用Kaplan-Meier法、对数秩检验、Cox回归模型及χ检验评估并比较疗效及安全性。
匹配后的TAI队列中位总生存期(OS)显著长于索拉非尼队列(19.6±7.5个月,P = 0.009)及TACE队列(估计27.8±6.6个月,P<0.001)。匹配后的TAI与索拉非尼队列之间的中位无进展生存期(PFS)差异无统计学意义(5.8±2.3个月,P = 0.219)。匹配后的TAI队列中位PFS显著长于TACE队列(6.5±2.8个月,P<0.001)。匹配后的TAI队列客观缓解率(ORR)显著高于索拉非尼队列(36.4% vs 0.0%,P<0.001)及TACE队列(48.7% vs 4.7%,P<0.001)。这三个队列的不良事件(AE)发生率相似。
TAI联合FOLFOX方案是一种有效且安全的治疗方法,可提高BCLC C期HCC患者的生存率。
