Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rapidly increasing and highly lethal cancer worldwide, with many patients diagnosed at advanced stages and early-stage patients often experiencing high recurrence rates. The combination of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab emerged as a groundbreaking immunotherapy, establishing a new standard of care for advanced HCC. There's an urgent need for reliable biomarkers to predict patient responses and personalize treatment. We collected tumor samples from advanced HCC patients wirth atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy and performed comprehensive analyses of the tumor microenvironment using bulk RNA sequencing to identify key features influencing the effectiveness of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.

Project description:Background and aims: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have promising outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, there is no reliable biomarker for predicting disease progression. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) derived from peripheral blood have attracted attention in monitoring therapeutic efficacy. In this study, CTCs were serially collected from patients with HCC undergoing atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Atezo+Bev) treatment, and changes in molecular expression and CTC numbers were analyzed to identify effective biomarkers. Approach and results: The peripheral blood samples were collected serially from 22 patients with HCC treated with Atezo+Bev, and CTCs were enriched using RosetteSep. The CD45(-)PanCK(+) cell counts were measured using flow cytometry. RNA extracted from enriched CTCs underwent targeted RNA sequencing with next-generation sequencing (NGS) and performed unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis. Changes in CTC numbers during Atezo+Bev treatment reflected the tumor volume. NGS analysis revealed that patients with elevated transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling molecules had a poorer response, whereas those with elevated apoptosis signaling molecules had a favorable response (p < 0.05). In addition, compared with changes in CTC counts, changes in TGF-β signaling molecule expression in CTCs accurately and promptly predicted treatment response. Conclusions: NGS analysis of CTC-derived RNA showed that changes in TGF-β signaling molecules predict treatment response earlier than changes in CTC counts. These findings suggest that changes in the expression of TGF-β molecules in CTCs could serve as novel biomarkers for the early prediction of therapeutic response in patients with unresectable HCC undergoing Atezo+Bev therapy.

Project description:Background & aimsThe combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab offers a novel approach to immunomodulation, showing efficacy as a primary treatment in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Concerns about graft safety and rejection have limited its exploration in the neoadjuvant setting of liver transplantation (LT). In this study, we investigate the clinical efficacy and the safety profile of pre-transplant administration of atezolizumab and bevacizumab for HCC.MethodsHerein, we performed a prospective assessment of 17 patients with HCC treated with neoadjuvant preoperative atezolizumab and bevacizumab prior to LT for HCC, obtained from December 2020 and December 2023 at seven Western transplant centers.ResultsAmong the 17 patients with HCC included in the study, 16 (94.1%) had a tumor burden outside of Milan criteria. Neoadjuvant locoregional therapies along with the administration of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (median: 5 months; discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to LT) led to an objective response rate of 94% (complete response: 59%), downstaging to within Milan criteria (82%) and a pathological response at explant examination of 88%. Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events accounted for 17.6% of cases and were manageable. During the 25-month median follow-up period, two cases of mild (rejection activity index ≤4), biopsy-proven rejection were reported but no instances of severe allograft rejection or graft loss were reported. The 1-year and 3-year post-LT survival rates were 94.2% and 88.2%, respectively.ConclusionsThis study highlights the favorable oncological and survival outcomes associated with atezolizumab and bevacizumab treatment in the pre-LT setting. This immune-based combination was safe in terms of treatment-related adverse events, and absence of severe post-transplant rejection or graft loss. These preliminary results could pave the way for expanding transplant eligibility criteria in patients at more advanced HCC stages.Impact and implicationsStudies on the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab in the neoadjuvant setting prior to liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma have been limited, despite its potential to enhance anti-tumor responses and downstaging, owing to concerns about its safety profile. Among 17 patients who underwent successful liver transplantation following neoadjuvant atezolizumab/bevacizumab, 82% achieved downstaging to within Milan criteria, 94% radiological objective response and 88% pathology response, without drop-outs due to treatment-related adverse events or graft loss. The neoadjuvant combination of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab prior to liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma shows an encouraging safety profile and stands out as a promising pre-transplant optimization treatment, leading to improved oncological outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Atez/bev) treatment has been developed for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC), changes in hepatic function during therapy have yet to be reported.AimThis retrospective clinical study aimed to elucidate early responses to Atez/Bev.MethodsFrom September 2020 to April 2021, 171 u-HCC patients undergoing Atez/Bev treatment were enrolled (BCLC stage A:B:C:D = 5:68:96:2). Of those, 75 had no prior history of systemic treatment. Relative changes in hepatic function and therapeutic response were assessed using albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), ver. 1.1, respectively.ResultsIn initial imaging examination findings, objective response rates for early tumor shrinkage and disease control after 6 weeks (ORR-6W/DCR-6W) were 10.6%/79.6%. Similar response results were observed in patients with and without a past history of systemic treatment (ORR-6W/DCR-6W = 9.7%/77.8% and 12.2%/82.9%), as well as patients in whom Atez/Bev was used as post-progression treatment following lenvatinib (ORR-6W/DCR-6W = 7.7%/79.5%), for which no known effective post-progression treatment has been established. In 111 patients who underwent a 6-week observation period, ALBI score was significantly worsened at 3 weeks after introducing Atez/Bev (-2.525 ± 0.419 vs -2.323 ± 0.445, p < .001), but then recovered at 6-weeks (-2.403 ± 0.452) as compared to 3-weeks (p = .001). During the observation period, the most common adverse events were appetite loss (all grades) (12.3%), general fatigue/hypertension (all grades) (11.1%, respectively), and urine protein (all grades) (10.5%).ConclusionAtez/Bev might have therapeutic potential not only as first but also later-line treatment of existing molecular target agents. In addition, this drug combination may have less influence on hepatic function during the early period, as the present patients showed a good initial therapeutic response.

Project description:Purpose: To study the potential priming benefit of bevacizumab from subsequent immunotherapy (durvalumab) in advanced breast cancer patients Methods: We tested this hypothesis by adding durvalumab after progression to maintenance single-agent bevacizumab treatment in advanced HER2-negative patients (average 3 treatment lines). In order to study the potential priming benefit, patients had to experience disease progression while on bevacizumab maintenance prior to entering the trial. In addition, we sought to find traits in peripheral-blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and tumor biopsies that informed about this immuno-priming, in an attempt to search for novel biomarkers of efficacy of the combo and obtain a better understanding of the biology of this clinical scenario. Results: Patients that experienced clinical benefit, compared with the remaining patients, displayed a lymphocyte pattern in PBMCs consisting on increased T-effector subpopulations (CD4- and CD8- effector and effector-memory) and decreased immunosuppressive T-regulatory cells. Gene-expression studies in tumor samples showed a congruent pattern, with increased T-effector and memory T cell signatures in responders, and increased T-regulatory and decreased active dendritic cells in non-responders. These events were observed in patients that displayed vascular normalization features as a result of previous bevacizumab, supporting the immuno-priming effects of this strategy.

Project description:BackgroundAtezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Ate/Bev) demonstrated promising efficacy and safety in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the phase III IMbrave150 trial. However, patients with Child-Pugh B HCC were excluded in the abovementioned prospective trial. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Ate/Bev in patients with Child-Pugh B HCC.MethodsThis multicenter retrospective study included 36 patients with Child-Pugh B advanced HCC who received Ate/Bev at four cancer referral centers between May 2020 and August 2021. Comparative analyses were performed with an independent cohort of patients with Child-Pugh A HCC from the same registry (n = 133).ResultsAll patients received Ate/Bev as first-line systemic treatment for advanced HCC. The objective response and disease control rates of patients in the Child-Pugh groups B and A were 11.1% and 58.3% and 34.6% and 76.7%, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 3.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.7-4.3) and 7.7 months (95% CI, 4.8-10.6) in the Child-Pugh B group, whereas the median PFS and OS were 9.6 months (95% CI, 5.1-14.2) and not reached (95% CI, not available) in the Child-Pugh A group, respectively. Compared to the Child-Pugh A group, grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) were more common in the Child-Pugh B group (44.4% versus 15.8, p < 0.001), with the most frequent grade 3-4 AEs being gastrointestinal bleeding (n = 6, 16.7%), neutropenia (n = 5, 13.9%), and thrombocytopenia (n = 4, 11.1%).ConclusionsIn the Child-Pugh B subgroup of patients with advanced HCC, Ate/Bev treatment showed modest clinical activity. However, due to the increased frequency of serious AEs, careful evaluation of treatment response and AE management is required in this subgroup of patients.
