Key clinical point: Baseline hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels are not associated with the clinical outcomes of patients with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1)-based immunotherapy.
Major finding: Baseline HBV DNA levels were not significantly associated with the overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.77; P = .59) or progression-free survival (aHR 0.68; P = .098).
Study details: This single-center retrospective observational study included 217 patients with advanced HBV-related HCC who received ≥1 dose of anti-PD-1 therapy.
Disclosures: This study was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Medical Science and Technology Research Project of Health Commission of Henan Province. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
