REFLECT: Post hoc analysis

Efficacy and safety outcomes in patients who deteriorated to Child-Pugh B and patients who remained Child-Pugh A

A post hoc analysis retrospectively evaluated the 11% of patients from REFLECT whose liver function deteriorated to Child-Pugh B versus the 89% who remained Child-Pugh A within 8 weeks after randomization. The post hoc analysis assessed the safety and ORR of LENVIMA, along with landmark analyses of OS and PFS that began after week 8.1

Limitations: This post hoc exploratory analysis was based on postbaseline status and not powered to detect differences in efficacy and safety in these subgroups. The results are for descriptive purposes only and no conclusions can be drawn.

  1. aDue to the landmark cutoff, PFS included fewer patients, as patients who did not reach the landmark were not included. Landmark PFS analyses included the following number of subjects: LENVIMA CP-B: 34; sorafenib CP-B: 24; LENVIMA CP-A: 329; and CP-A: 284.

Responses1,b

  • Child-Pugh B
  • CR: 0% with LENVIMA vs 0% with sorafenib

    PR: 28.3% (n=17) with LENVIMA vs 8.5% (n=4) with sorafenib

  • Child-Pugh A
  • CR: 2.4% (n=10) with LENVIMA vs 0.9% (n=4) with sorafenib

    PR: 40.4% (n=167) with lenvima vs 11.9% (n=51) with sorafenib

  • Most common treatment-emergent AEs of any grade in LENVIMA-treated patients who remained Child-Pugh A (n=413) within 8 weeks of randomization were hypertension (41.9%), diarrhea (39.2%), decreased appetite (32.2%), weight decreased (31.2%), fatigue (29.8%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (28.1%), proteinuria (24.7%), and dysphonia (23.2%)
