e16117 Combining radiation therapy with anti-PD-1 for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: an open-label, single-center, single-arm clinical study Jian-Xu Li, Ting-Shi Su, Xiao-Feng Lin, Yi-Tian Chen, Shi-Xiong Liang, Bang-De Xiang; Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital, Nanning, China Abstract Research Funding: Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China. Guangxi Medical and Health Appropriate Technology Development and Application Project (No. S2019039), Guangxi, China. Background: Based on the results of recent studies, the PD-1 monoclonal antibodies have been approved to treat the patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by the FDA. Radiation therapy (RT) can enhance responsiveness to PD-1 monoclonal antibody by potential mechanisms. A phase Ⅱa study was conducted to assess the safety and the efficacy of combining RT with anti-PD-1 for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Patients with advanced HCC were eligible. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) were adopted, and the dose of radiation were Dt-PGTV 30-50 Gy/10fractions. Camrelizumab (200mg) were given intravenously every 3 weeks since the first day of RT until disease progression, or intolerable toxicity. Adverse events (AEs) and objective response rate (ORR) were summarized to assess the safety and efficacy. Results: From April 2020 to November 2020, 17 patients were enrolled (median age 54, range 32-69). 15 (88%) patients were male. 14 (82%) had ECOG performance score of 0. All the patients had Child-Pugh score A. 16 patients staged as Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging C or China Liver Cancer staging Ⅲ. Extrahepatic metastases were identified in 11 (65%) patients. 13 (77%) patients were Hepatitis B virus infected. 15 (88%) patients had previously 2 lines or more chemotherapy. 9 (53%) patients had Alpha-fetoprotein level≥400 ng/ml. The ORR was 47%. The best response assessed by RECIST 1.1 was partial response (8 patients). Four patients had grade 3 immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including increased aspartate aminotransferase and alanine transaminase (n =1)，decreased hemoglobin (n =1)，decreased platelet count (n =1)，decreased neutrophil count (n =1). All grade 3 irAEs were mitigated with proper treatment. None treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusions: In this study, RT combined with anti-PD-1 had an acceptable safety profile and indicated an effective treatment option in patients with unresectable HCC.
