Nivolumab monotherapy

Regimen variant #1, weight-based

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence Efficacy
El-Khoueiry et al. 2017 (CheckMate 040) 2012-2016 Phase 1/2 (RT) ORR: 20% (95% CI, 15–26)

Note: This is the dose used in the expansion cohort of this study; patients were required to have ECOG PS 1 or less, and Child-Pugh scores of 6 or less (Child-Pugh A) for the dose expansion. 68% of patients in the dose expansion phase received prior sorafenib therapy.

Immunotherapy

14-day cycles


Regimen variant #2, flat dosing

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence Comparator Comparative Efficacy
Yau et al. 2021 (CheckMate 459) 2016-01-11 to 2017-05-24 Phase 3 (E-switch-ooc) Sorafenib Might have superior OS (primary endpoint)
Median OS: 16.4 vs 14.7 mo
(HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.72-1.02)

Note: Study included patients with Child-Pugh class B (5-9), hepatitis B and C infections. This study was the basis for the withdrawal of FDA approval for this indication.

Immunotherapy

14-day cycles

Sunitinib monotherapy

Regimen variant #1, interrupted sunitinib

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence
Zhu et al. 2009 (DF/HCC 05-348) 2006-NR Phase 2

Targeted therapy

42-day cycles


Regimen variant #2, continuous sunitinib

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence Comparator Comparative Efficacy
Cheng et al. 2013 (SUN 1170) 2008-2010 Phase 3 (E-switch-ic) Sorafenib Inferior OS (primary endpoint)
Median OS: 7.9 vs 10.2 mo
(HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.13-1.50)

Note: Early trial termination of SUN 1170 occurred for futility and safety reasons; sunitinib treated patients demonstrated inferior OS and more frequent and severe toxicities. Dosing preserved for historical context.

Targeted therapy

28-day cycles

Dose and schedule modifications

  • Dose can be reduced to 25 and 12.5 mg once per day depending on toxicity
