Hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary malignancy of the liver; the majority of cases arise from underlying liver cirrhosis. Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma incorporates a variety of multimodal approaches; advanced (metastatic) disease is treated with palliative intent. Bayer HealthCare/Amgen/Onyx’s Nexavar is the only agent approved for first-line advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, and Bayer HealthCare’s Stivarga and Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Opdivo (United States only) are approved as second-line treatments. The late-phase therapy pipeline for hepatocellular carcinoma is focused on the advanced setting and encompasses a diverse range of mechanisms of action (MOAs). Because the hepatocellular carcinoma therapy market is largely untapped, developers of efficacious drugs can reap high commercial rewards.
