Background: Recently, sinilimab plus bevacizumab has shown promising effects on unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) in ORIENT-32. However, its efficacy and safety in uHCC patients with VP4 cancer embolus remained unclear. Methods: In this retrospective study, uHCC patients with VP4 tumor embolus who received first-line sinilimab plus bevacizumab were consecutively enrolled. We also included similar patients who were treated with first-line sorafenib as comparison. Main efficacy endpoint was overall survival (OS), following progression free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) to be secondary endpoints, evaluated in accordance with RECIST v1.1. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded according to CTCAE v5.0. Results: Total 43 eligible patients were enrolled, with 15 in sinilimab plus bevacizumab arm (arm 1) and the other 28 in sorafenib arm (arm 2). No statistical differences were found in etiology, liver function and performance status. At data cut-off at February 2023, median PFS in arm 1 and arm 2 were 3.7 (95%CI: 1.2-6.2) and 3.8 (95%CI:3.1-4.5) months, following ORR and DCR were 6.7% & 46.7% and 7.1% & 35.7%. OS in arm 1 was not matured and in arm 2 was 16.1 (11.1-21.1). Not any difference was detected among all efficacy endpoints. AEs happened among almost all patients. But nobody died of AEs. Conclusions: Efficacy and safety of sinilimab plus bevacizumab in uHCC patients with VP4 tumor embolus was similar with sorafenib, which needs to be further confirmed.
