Background: HIMALAYA showed that D+T and D are effective options for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). However, data on outcomes according to the adherence to HIMALAYA inclusion criteria in routine clinical practice are lacking. Methods: In the context of a prospectively maintained database including 1293 patients (pts) with uHCC treated with immunotherapy, we analysed pts treated with D+T or D across 8 centres in USA, Asia and Europe. Pts who met >1 key exclusion criterion of HIMALAYA (prior systemic therapy, Child-Pugh class B-C, Vp4 thrombosis) were defined HIMALAYA-OUT and compared with HIMALAYA-IN pts for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) by RECIST 1.1 and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) per CTCAE v.5.0. Results: Up to February 2024, 108 pts (mean age 66 years, male sex 81%) started D+T (n=69, 64%) or D (n=39, 36%). 62 pts (57%) were treated in 1° line and 46 (43%) in >2° line. Child-Pugh class was A in 67 pts (62%). Vp4 was present in 17 pts (16%). 31 pts (29%) were HIMALAYA-IN and 19/31 (61%) received D+T. After a median follow-up of 4.3 months (m, 95%CI 3.3-4.9), median OS (mOS) was 11.5 m and 12-m OS rate was 42%. mOS was not reached in HIMALAYA-IN pts (12-m OS rate 62%) and 8.9 m (95%CI 6.0-12.1) in HIMALAYA-OUT pts. Survival hazard ratio (HR) for HIMALAYA IN vs OUT was 0.28 (95%CI 0.09-0.93, p=0.037). Median PFS was 2.6 m (95% CI 2.2-5.2) overall, 4.6 m (95%CI 2.1-8.5) in HIMALAYA-IN and 2.6 m (95%CI 1.9-5.2) in HIMALAYA-OUT pts (HR 0.70, 95%CI 0.38-1.30, p=0.266). ORR and DCR (evaluable in 53 pts, 49%) were 15.1% (95%CI 6.5-29.7%) and 43.4% (95%CI 27.5-65.1) (Table). Any grade TRAEs occurred in 31.5% (95% 21.8-44.0%), grade 3-4 TRAEs in 8.3% (95%CI 3.8-15.8%), TRAEs requiring systemic corticosteroids in 8.3% (95%CI 3.8-15.8%) and discontinuation due to toxicity in 3.7% (95%CI 1.0-9.5%). Conclusions: Preliminary observational data from DT-Real study suggest a reproducible efficacy and safety of D+T and D in pts with uHCC fitting the inclusion criteria of HIMALAYA in routine clinical practice.
