LENVIMA vs sorafenib in the REFLECT trial
PRIMARY EFFICACY ENDPOINT
13.6-month median OS1
LENVIMA achieved the noninferiority primary endpoint vs sorafenib in the REFLECT trial1
Overall survival |
LENVIMA
n=478 |
sorafenib
n=476 |
Median OS in months (95% CI) | 13.6 (12.1-14.9) | 12.3 (10.4-13.9) |
Hazard ratio (95% CI)a | 0.92 (0.79-1.06) |
- Number of events: 351 (73%) with LENVIMA vs 350 (74%) with sorafenib1
- LENVIMA did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in OS vs sorafenib1
REFLECT=A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Phase 3 Trial to Compare the EFficacy and Safety of LEnvatinib (E7080) Versus Sorafenib in First-Line Treatment of Subjects With UnreseCtable HepaTocellular Carcinoma; HCC=hepatocellular carcinoma; OS=overall survival; HR=hazard ratio; CI=confidence interval.
- aBased on stratified Cox-model. The noninferiority margin for the HR of LENVIMA vs sorafenib is 1.08.1
SECONDARY EFFICACY ENDPOINT
Double the median PFS: More time without progression1,2
LENVIMA demonstrated statistically superior PFS per independent radiology review (mRECIST)1
Patients had more time without their disease progressing1
- Number of events: 311 (65%) with LENVIMA vs 323 (68%) with sorafenib1
- mRECIST for HCC criteria measure the sum of viable (enhancement in the arterial phase) tumor diameters and may more accurately measure response in HCC liver lesions than RECIST 1.13,4
Independent assessment of PFS using RECIST 1.1 criteria1:
- Median PFS of 7.3 months with LENVIMA and 3.6 months with sorafenib (HR: 0.65 [95% CI: 0.56-0.77])
- Number of events: 307 (64%) with LENVIMA vs 320 (67%) with sorafenib
PFS=progression-free survival; mRECIST=modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors; HR=hazard ratio; HCC=hepatocellular carcinoma; RECIST=Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors; CI=confidence interval.
SECONDARY EFFICACY ENDPOINT
More than triple the ORR: More patients with a response1
LENVIMA demonstrated statistically superior ORR per independent radiology review (mRECIST)1
41% of patients with a response to LENVIMA vs 12% with a response to sorafenib1
Tumor assessment was based on mRECIST for HCC criteria, which measure the sum of viable (enhancement in the arterial phase) tumor diameters and may more accurately measure response in HCC liver lesions than RECIST 1.13,4
Independent assessment of ORR using RECIST 1.1 criteria1:
- 19% ORR with LENVIMA (95% CI: 15%-22%) and 7% with sorafenib (95% CI: 4%-9%)1
- CR: 0.4% (n=2) with LENVIMA vs 0.2% (n=1) with sorafenib
- PR: 18.4% (n=88) with LENVIMA vs 6.3% (n=30) with sorafenib
ORR=objective response rate; mRECIST=modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors; CR=complete response; PR=partial response; HCC=hepatocellular carcinoma; RECIST=Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors; CI=confidence interval.
