编者按:在2023年中国整合肿瘤学大会(CCHIO)的肿瘤肝脏病学国际分会场上,德国美因茨大学的Peter Galle教授带来了“当下和未来的肝细胞癌系统治疗 Current and future systemic treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma"的报告,会后肿瘤瞭望特邀Peter Galle教授就肝癌的系统治疗进展等话题进行专访。
Peter Galle: It was a very lively meeting with engaged discussions, and was technically very sound and professionally handled. So even for a virtual participant, it was easy to follow and get engaged in the discussion. I like the setting that there were predefined discussants who were well prepared and able to ask specific points in individual presentations. In general, we were summarizing the developments in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment, and for the benefit of our patients, there is a lot going on.
Peter Galle: We started basically with not being able to offer anything. Initially we were doing surgery and transplantation in some patients. Then interventional radiology changed the arena to some extent. There was transarterial chemoembolization. But it was not before 2007/2008 when the TKI, sorafenib, entered the stage. It was not so well received, because it was not extremely effective and not so well tolerated, but the difference between before and after sorafenib was that it is a treatable disease - it is a tumor where systemic therapy works. Then we saw other TKIs entering the stage -lenvatinib and cabozantinib in first-line therapy; and regorafenib and ramucirumab in second-line therapy. But the most dramatic difference as a game changer came in 2020 when atezolizumab and bevacizumab offered immunotherapy. This year, there is the addition of another immunotherapeutic intervention - the HIMALAYA protocol, durvalumab plus tremelimumab, as another option. The story goes on with these successes in systemic therapy. We are now switching to earlier stages, intermediate stage and adjuvant settings, and there is really a lot going on currently.
Peter Galle教授:从TKI单药治疗开始,到后来的免疫检查点抑制单药治疗,疗效都不是很令人满意,差异来自于双药治疗。阿替利珠单抗/贝伐珠单抗和度伐利尤单抗/tremelimumab 等双药联合药物正在发挥作用。现在我们正在对三药联合方案进行研究,还增加了其他靶点,如TIGIT和LAG3等。它们将是很有前景的方案,我乐观地认为,未来我们将看到三联疗法用于晚期肝癌的治疗。此外,我们也会看到适合早期肝癌的全身治疗。
Peter Galle:I see the development where we started with a monotherapy TKI, then monotherapy immune checkpoint inhibition, which was not so successful, and then the difference came from doublet therapy. Doublets such as atezolizumab/bevacizumab and durvalumab/tremelimumab are making the difference. Now we have investigations going on with triplets, adding other targets, such as TIGIT and LAG3. They will be promising approaches, and I am optimistic that in the future, we will see triple therapy in advanced stage disease. In addition, we will see systemic therapy in earlier stage disease.
