On Your iPad Answer Questions Please take a few moments to answer a follow-up question regarding TKI therapies for HCC before we move on
Conclusions • Sorafenib and lenvatinib are both approved options for first-line treatment of patients with unresectable HCC • There are subtle differences in inclusion criteria, efficacy, and adverse event profiles that can help us decide between two agents • There are multiple options for second-line treatment of patients who are intolerant or have disease progression on first-line therapy • Regorafenib: RESORCE trial showed superiority over placebo • Using agents in sequence can result in a meaningful survival benefit • Studies are needed to identify treatment-response biomarkers to select the ideal sequence of treatments for individual patients
