New Treatment on the Horizon: SPOILER ALERT!
2017-2018: New TKI(d)s on the Block
ASCO 2017:
- Lenvatinib non-inferior vs sorafenib in 1° Line (ph III) ASCO GI 2018:
- Cabozantinib superior to placebo in 2°/3° Line (ph III) ASCO 2018
- Ramucirumab superior to placebo in aFP >400 ng/ml, 2° Line, (ph III)

LENVATINIB (1° Line):
Pro: better PFS and ORR performance, less HFSR than sorafenib Con: higher hypertension, no 2°/3° line strategies available
CABOZANTINIB (2°/3° Line):
Pro: 28% pts treated in 3° Line
Con: marginal OS gain in 3° Line (HR 0,90)
REGORAFENIB (2° Line):
Pro: First 2° Line study to show OS and PFS advantage vs placebo Con: only for 2° Line, Sorafenib tolerant patients (at least 400 mg)
RAMUCIRUMAB (2° Line):
Pro: 1° positive study with biomarker selection Con: marginal OS delta in REACH2 (+1.2 months)
New TKI(d)s on the Block: RECAP

Immunotherapy in HCC: ready to next steps?
• 2°L data to be confirmed in phase III RCT: Pembro vs BSC ongoing
(NCT02702401– data expected in early 2019)
• 1°L phase III ongoing with Nivolumab vs Sorafenib
(NCT02576509 – data expected in late 2019)
• Early-phase trials with combination strategies ongoing
- Anti-PD1 + AntiCTLA4 + TKIs (phase II) - Anti-PD1 + Anti-VEGF (phase III)
- Anti-PD1 + TACE (phase I)
• Anti-PD1 in adjuvant setting after resection/ablation (phase III)
