Background: There are limited prospective clinical trials in patients with both HCC and CPB cirrhosis. As the prevalence of HCC and cirrhosis has been rising among Latinos in South Texas, it is crucial to examine the liver dysfunction within this demographic to understand the contributing factors to treatment patterns. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 36 patients with both HCC and Child Pugh B (CPB) cirrhosis. Methods: A dataset of 65 patients with HCC and cirrhosis from 2009 – 2019 was used to identify 36 patients with CPB treated at a Latino-Rich NCI-designated Cancer Center. We further segmented patients of Child Pugh Class B by ALBI grades (1-3) to explore variations in demographics, liver dysfunction, and first-line therapies. Results: Median age overall of the cohort is 59 (50-71). Ethnicity: Latino White (83%), Non-Latino White (14%), Black (3%). Etiology: HCV (78 %) EtOH (50%), NASH (19%), and HBV (3%). ALBI Grade: I (6%), II (50%), III (44%). First line treatment in CPB: Sorafenib (86%), Nivolumab (8%), Lenvatinib (6%). Sorafenib was used across all ALBI grades, while Lenvatinib and Nivolumab were given only in ALBI II (Table). Conclusions: Sorafenib was more often given to patients with CPB cirrhosis, in the first line setting; however, more patients were treated with nivolumab or lenvatinib with ALBI II. Further investigation of survival based on ALBI levels and the trajectory of liver function over time in response to different treatment approaches is underway in a larger cohort who has received newer immunotherapy-based regimens. With more agents approved for HCC, prospective clinical trials are needed in CPB and HCC.
