External Validation of LCR1-LCR2, a Multivariable Hepatocellular Carcinoma Risk Calculator, in a Multiethnic Cohort of Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B
Background and Aims: The liver cancer risk test (LCR1-LCR2) is a multianalyte blood test combining proteins involved in liver cell repair (apolipoprotein A1, haptoglobin), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk factors (gender, age, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase), a marker of fibrosis (alpha2-macroglob...

description | Background and Aims: The liver cancer risk test (LCR1-LCR2) is a multianalyte blood test combining proteins involved in liver cell repair (apolipoprotein A1, haptoglobin), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk factors (gender, age, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase), a marker of fibrosis (alpha2-macroglobulin), and alpha-fetoprotein, a specific marker of HCC. The aim was to externally validate LCR1-LCR2 in hepatitis B. Methods: Preincluded patients were from the Hepather cohort, a multicenter, multiethnic prospective study in 6071 patients. The coprimary study outcome was the negative predictive value of LCR1-LCR2 at 5 years for the occurrence of HCC and survival without HCC according to the predetermined LCR1-LCR2 cutoffs, adjusted for risk covariables and for chronic hepatitis B treatment and quantified using time-dependent Cox proportional hazards models. A post hoc analysis compared the number of patients needed to screen one cancer by LCR1-LCR2 and PAGE-B. Results: A total of 3520 patients, 191 (5.4%) with cirrhosis, with at least 1 year of follow-up were included. A total of 76 HCCs occurred over a median (interquartile range) of 6.0 years (4.8–7.3) of follow-up. Among the 3367 patients with low-risk LCR1-LCR2, the 5-year negative predictive value was 99.3% (95% confidence interval = 99.0–99.6), with a significant Cox hazard ratio (6.4, 3.1–13.0; P < .001) obtained after adjustment for exposure to antivirals, age, gender, geographical origin, HBe-Ag status, alcohol consumption, and type-2 diabetes. LCR1-LCR2 outperformed PAGE-B for number of patients needed to screen mean (95% CI), 8.5 (3.2–8.1) vs 26.3 (17.5–38.5; P < .0001), respectively. Conclusion: The performance of LCR1-LCR2 to identify patients with chronic hepatitis B at very low risk of HCC at 5 years was externally validated. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01953458. |
