Popis: 428 Background: Regorafenib (Rego) improves survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (RESORCE trial) while nivolumab (Nivo) is also safe and active in terms of radiologic response (15-20% objective response) in second-line. The GOING trial (NCT04170556) is an investigator-initiated phase I/IIa study assessing the safety of Rego plus Nivo in HCC patients who progress and tolerate sorafenib (Cohort A) or who discontinue atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Cohort B). Methods: Patients from cohort A receive Rego as monotherapy for the first 2 cycles (starting dose 160 mg/day, 3 weeks on/1 week off and adjusted for adverse events [AEs]) and Nivo is added at day 1 of cycle 3 (the first 10 patients at 3 mg/kg; since they did not present serious-AE (SAE), the final dose is 240 mg every two weeks). Treatment continues until unacceptable AEs, symptomatic tumor progression, patient decision or death. Safety is measured by the rate of AEs, rate of treatment related-AEs (Tr-AE), rate of AEs leading to treatment discontinuation and rate of death. Severity of AEs are evaluated according to CTCAE v.5.0. A futility analysis using the non-binding Lan & DeMets beta-spending functions with a boundary of p=0.814 is mandated when 32.8% of cohort A has data of tumor assessment at least at week 16 by RECIST 1.1. Results: Fifty-one patients have been enrolled in cohort A as of May 15, 2021. The first 30 (BCLC-C 73%) were considered in this safety analysis. All patients developed at least one AE, 29 (96.7%) had Tr-AEs of any grade and 10 (33.3%) had grade 3 (no grades 4 or 5 have been reported). Ten (33.3%) patients had a Rego-related AE, 4 (13.3%) Nivo-related, and 4 (13.3%) Tr-AE grade 3 of special interest. The table describes the profile Tr-AE occurring in > 10% of patients. Only 4 (13.3%) patients developed Tr-SAE, 3 (10 %) Rego-related and 3 (10 %) Nivo-related. Four patients discontinued the study due to physician decision, 2 for progression, and 2 for AEs (one related to study treatment). One patient had surgical resection after treatment discontinuation and a complete necrosis was observed at pathology. Conclusions: The sequential combination of Rego-Nivo has a manageable safety profile. Less than one third of the patients developed grade 3/4 Tr-AE and there was no treatment-related death. Futility analysis allowed to continuing recruitment. Clinical trial information: NCT04170556. [Table: see text]
