Preliminary experience on safety of regorafenib after sorafenib failure in recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation

American Journal of Transplantation Aug 05, 2019

Iavarone M, Invernizzi F, Czauderna C, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective, multicentre, international study of 28 regorafenib-treated liver transplantation (LT) patients (57 years, 7% cirrhotics, 54% performance-status 1) (2015-2018), in order to assess the safety and efficacy of regorafenib as second-line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-recurrence after LT. At least 1 adverse event (AE) was reported in all patients during regorafenib (6.3 months), the most common grade 3/4 AEs were fatigue (n = 7) and dermatological reaction (n = 5). While there was no liver rejection and there appeared an increase in plasma levels of immunosuppressive-drugs in 5. For the first time, this study demonstrated regorafenib as safe after LT. Hence, the rationale of considering regorafenib in sorafenib-tolerant patients with HCC-recurrence after LT in the clinical decision-making was supported.
