PG - 1467-1476 AB - Skin toxicity, especially hand-foot syndrome (HFS), is one of the most common sorafenib-induced adverse events (AEs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, leading to treatment interruption and failure. Mucocutaneous inflammation may cause HFS; therefore, we investigated whether celecoxib can alleviate HFS, improve patients' quality of life and increase survival when administered in conjunction with active therapy. Our randomized, open-label study prospectively enrolled 116 advanced HCC patients receiving sorafenib as targeted therapy from July 2015 to July 2016. All patients were randomly assigned (1:1) via a computer-generated sequence to receive sorafenib with or without celecoxib. Sorafenib-related AEs were recorded, Survival was compared between the two groups. Compared to the Sorafenib group, the SoraCele group had lower incidence rates of >/= grade 2 and grade 3 HFS (63.8% vs 29.3%, P < 0.001; 19.0% vs 3.4%, P = 0.008, respectively), hair loss, rash and abdominal pain. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a lower risk of >/= grade 2 HFS (HR, 0.384; P = 0.002) and a lower dose reduction/interruption rate (46.6% to 15.5%, P < 0.001) in the SoraCele group. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis demonstrated that celecoxib was the only independent predictive factor of developing >/= grade 2 HFS (HR, 0.414; P = 0.004). Longer progression-free survival (PFS) was also observed in the SoraCele group (P = 0.039), although overall survival was not prolonged (P = 0.305). These results suggest that sorafenib + Celecoxib administration alleviated sorafenib-related skin toxicity. Longer PFS was achieved in clinical practice, although overall survival was not prolonged (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02961998). CI - AJCR Copyright (c) 2020.
