1 16 th AISF Pre-Meeting Roma, 19 Febbraio 2014 Session II Clinical Management of patients while in waiting list Treatment and down-staging procedures for HCC Prof. Umberto Cillo MD, FEBS Chirurgia Epatobiliare e Centro Trapianto di Fegato Azienda Ospedaliera Policlinico Padova cillo@unipd.it
2 Turin October 2012 Palermo June 2013 AISF-SITO STATEMENT 1. Best utility Indicator (ENDPOINT) Five year ITT patient survival has to be preferred to absolute survival for all ESLD patients with or without HCC, since ITT analysis is able to capture the entire therapeutic process that includes liver transplantation (E2 R1)
3 Rationale for treating patients in the waiting list: BRIDGING DROPOUT RISK ranging from 15 to 30% at 1 year from listing Yao, Hepatol. 2001, 33: 1394, Llovet, Hepatol:1999, 30:1434, Washburn; Am J Tr, 2010, 10: 1643, Freeman, Am J Tr 2008, 8:958 Rene Cuore Fegato DROPOUT RISK in the Nitp Area: Courtesy of Tullia De Feo, NITp (<15%) Pancreas Polmone Intestino 2 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Trapiantati (cad+viv) Usciti Deceduti Ancora in lista
4 Turin October 2012 Palermo June 2013 AISF-SITO STATEMENT 7a. Benefit as indicator (ENDPOINT) 5-year transplant benefit is the best indicator available to maximize the life saving efficiency of procured livers (E2, R2)..
5 Rationale for reducing the tumor bulk before listing: DOWNSTAGING (p=0.2 Gain in life expectancy with transplant (months) Vitale A, et al. Lancet Oncol 2011
6 PROPOSAL FOR GUIDELINES IMPROVEMENT 2 Milan In Due tohigh benefit consider downstaging in early B Yes No Liver Transplantation (CLT/LDLT) *including Tx specialists and considering organ availability CLT/LDLT
7 HCC & Tumor Bulk DOWNSTAGING the aim or the result of a treatment that intends to facilitate make possible a surgical procedure otherwise too risky or unfeasible NEO-ADJUVANT TREATMENTS to improve long-term results The aims are to limit complications during waiting-time given to patients in whom the procedure can be done primarily Toso C et al, J. Of Hepatology, 2010 vol.52;
8 AIMS of treating patients before transplant (Downstaging and/or Bridging) 1. Giving a potentially radical chance of therapy to those with poor therapeutic alternatives(downstaging) 2. Controlling HCC progression (Downstaging/ Bridging) 3. Selecting patients with favourable biology(through time and/or therapeutic pressure (Downstaging/ Bridging) 4. Helping balance in prioritization
9 AIMS of treating patients before transplant (Downstaging and/or Bridging) 1. Giving a potentially radical chance of therapy to those with poor therapeutic alternatives(downstaging) 2. Controlling HCC progression (Downstaging/ Bridging) 1. Selectingpatientswith favourablebiology(throughtime and/or therapeuticpressure (Downstaging/ Bridging) 1. Helping balance in prioritization
10 Criteria to establish a reliable selection policy: 1.Defined entry criteria Size/number or total tumour volume of HCC Biological/pathological and molecular markers 1.Defined end-points of successful downstaging Radiological Degree of necrosis Decrease in size Biological: alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) 1.Defined time between downstaging and listing for LT Toso C et al, J. Of Hepatology, 2010 vol.52;
11 Successful downstaging of Milan-in HCC is feasible in a proportion of patients OS and DFS in patients transplanted following downstaging are comparable to those in patients Milan-in A. N. Gordon-Weeks, et al. Br J Surg 2011
12 Summary of the intention-to-treat outcome of 61 patients undergoing down-staging of HCC Prospective study January 2002 January patients exceeding T2 Eligibility criteria: One lesion>5 cm and up to 8 cm Two to three lesions with at least one lesion>3 cm and not exceeding 5 cm, with total tumor diameter up to 8 cm Four to five lesions with none >3 cm, with total tumor diameter up to 8 cm. Minimum observation period: 3 months after down-staging before OLT 57.4% received OLT (2 LDLT) LOW CORRELATION RADIOLOGY/EXPLANT (<60%) Yao F.Y. et al. Hepatology, Vol. 48, No. 3, 2008
13 No HCC recurrence after 25 months (median) DS-date The Kaplan-Meier intention-to-treat survival: 1-year after down-staging: 87.5% 4-year after down-staging: 69.3% The Kaplan-Meier probabilities of treatment failure (including death without OLT or dropout ) 32% at 2 years and beyond LT-date The only factor predicting treatment failure was pre-treatment alpha-fetoprotein >1,000 ng/ml HR 7.75 ( ) P < The Kaplan-Meier post-transplantation survival rates: (of downstaged patients) 1-year after OLTx: 96.2% 4-year after OLTx: 92.1% Yao F.Y. et al.

20 Absolute Downstaging unrelated to TX entry criteria DOWN-STAGING BASED BOTH ON MORPHOLOGICAL CRITERIA BIOLOGICAL CRITERIA Absolute because downstaging has not specific entry criteria and morphological endpoints but simply aims to disease control (=no progression) and selection of good biology cases
21 Absolute Downstaging : no progression Lencioni R, et al. Sem in Liver Dis 2010; 30: 52
22 LT if response > 30% to TACE Even if out of Milan Sustained response to TACE is a better selection criterion than size and n of nodules (MC no impact) 39 pts with uneventful course of TACE (2 recurrences) 11 pts with tumor progression after TACE (5 recurrences) Milan IN/OUT not impacting recurrence Otto G et al. Liver Transpl 2006; 12; 1260
23 To investigate a-fp as a predictor of outcome of LT HCC-listed patients (TTV>115=0.5%) -Local pre-transplant HCC treatment: 41% of patients on the WL. -8.2% AlfaFP> 400 Patients with afp levels >400 ng/ml at the time of listing who were downstaged to AFP 400 ng/ml (DS-HCC) has better intent-to-treat survival than patients failing to reduce AFP to 400 Intention-to-treat 3-years survival DS-HCC: 81% p <0.001 Not DS-HCC: 48% Dropout risk factors AFP listing AFP TX AFP velocity p=0.001 TTV velocity p=0.015 afp downstaging associated with good survivals whatever the level of the original afp (even>1000 ng/ml) Only the last pre-transplant afp independently predicted survival (p 0.001) Merani et al, Journal of Hepatology 2011 vol
24 Predictors of biologic aggressiveness: α-fp Combination of HCC burden and AFP levels to stratify prognosis LT between in the US HCC + MELD exception points: HCC no exception points: 3196 Milan-out + AFP 15 ng/ml AHR=0.97 Milan-in + AFP > 66 ng/ml AHR=1.93 The absolute serum AFP level and its changes strongly predict post-transplant survival independently of the tumor burden Berry et al, Liver Transplantation 19: , 2013

48 Response to therapy as priority criterion FIRST CRITERION = RESPONSE TO THERAPY I. Stable / Progression* = 6 II. Untreatable (location, severity of cirrhosis) = 5 III. Partial** = 4 IV. Recurrent new tumor (> 6 mo last therapy) awaiting therapy = 3 V. New tumor awaiting therapy = 2 VI. Complete (total tumor necrosis) = 1 * > 50% pre therapy vital tumor; n nodules; AFP < 50% pre therapy level (if > 200ng/ml) ** < 50% pre therapy vital tumor; AFP > 50% pre therapy level (if > 200ng/ml) EXCLUSION CRITERIA SECOND CRITERION = STAGE I. T1 1 nodule 1.9 cm II. T2 1 nodule 2-5 cm; 2-3 nodules all 3 cm III. T3 1 nodule > 5 cm; 2-3 nodules 1 > 3 cm IV. T4a 4 nodules, any size; T4b any T with gross vascular invasion N1, M1 Metastases THIRD CRITERION = TIME Waiting list with HCC Gross vascular invasion or metastases (T4b and /or N1, M1) Poorly differentiated HCC at biopsy Cillo U, et al.

49 Response to therapy as priority criterion Level of evidence 2b; Grade of reccomendation = B Cox regression model for the progression outside the Milan criteria or death. HCC persistence or recurrence after bridging therapy helps predicting transplant list dropout and generate a more equitable exception policy. De Giorgio M, et al. Liver Transplant 2010.
50 Conclusion 1: role of DST / BRIDGING in LT for HCC Still an open issue due to evidence weekness for : 1) Arbitrary and disomogeneous START/ENDPOINT of DST 2) Small choort studies 3) Short F.U. 4) High degree of discrepancy between radiology and explant Pathology 5) Lack of comparison among treatments Expert opinionists favourable to clinical adoption for: 1) Rationale of relevant transplant benefit and controlling dropout 2) Downstaging therapies overlapping with palliation 3) Relevant potential in prognositcal stratification of patients Features for proposals: 1) START from 50% 5yrs expected survival 2) Stratification with biopsy morphology and AlfaFP 3) Morphologic and biologic response 4) Long termf.u
