Sorafenib in Asian HCC patients. I updated the data for sorafenib with two trials done in Asia.
For comparisons I also added the percentage of the patients with HCV or HBV infection.
The Asian patients are almost all infected with HBV. This does make a difference in their survival.
From the paper, Cantarini et al, American Journal of Gastroenterology, 101, 91-98 (2006),
Effect of the Etiology of Viral Cirrhosis on the Survival of Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
"In the whole population, patients with hepatitis B tended to have a poor prognosis than those with
hepatitis C (p = 0.160), and this difference became statistically significant among the patients with
an advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (p = 0.025)."
This probably explains the differences between the non-Asian and the Asian trials below.
If bavi + sorafenib shows an increase in survival then I would think the very large Asian market would be in play.
