e16304 Background: Hepatic reserve is a critical determinant of outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet traditional scoring systems such as MELD are frequently unavailable or underpowered in real-world datasets. The albumin–bilirubin index (ALBI) is a validated, objective measure of liver function derived from routine laboratory values and has emerged as a pragmatic alternative for risk stratification. However, the impact of ALBI on longitudinal outcomes following locoregional therapy (LRT) for HCC in routine clinical practice remains incompletely characterized. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using TriNetX to identify adults with HCC treated with locoregional therapies (transarterial chemoembolization, yttrium-90 radioembolization, stereotactic body radiation therapy, or thermal ablation). Hepatic reserve was assessed using an albumin–bilirubin–based definition with labs within 30 days pre-therapy. Low ALBI (preserved function) was defined as albumin ≥3.5 g/dL and bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dL, and high ALBI (impaired function) as albumin < 3.5 g/dL or bilirubin > 2.0 mg/dL. Propensity score matching (1:1) balanced demographics and comorbidities. Outcomes at 6 months, 1, 3, and 5 years included mortality, hepatic failure, ascites, portal hypertension, and esophageal varices. RD, RR, OR, and HR with 95% CIs were reported. Results: After matching, 509 patients were included in each ALBI group. High ALBI was consistently associated with significantly worse outcomes across all time points. Overall mortality was higher in the high-ALBI group at 6 months (19.6% vs 8.7%), 1 year (31.0% vs 13.9%), 3 years (51.0% vs 28.3%), and 5 years (57.1% vs 35.6%). Corresponding hazard ratios for mortality ranged from 2.32 to 2.65 across time points (all p < 0.05). High ALBI was also associated with substantially increased risks of hepatic failure (5-year RD 23.9%, HR 3.29), ascites (5-year RD 18.5%, HR 2.50), and esophageal varices (5-year RD 8.5%, HR 2.60). These associations persisted from early through long-term follow-up, demonstrating durable prognostic separation by ALBI status. Conclusions: In this large, real-world cohort of HCC patients undergoing locoregional therapy, impaired hepatic reserve as defined by a high albumin–bilirubin index was strongly and consistently associated with worse short- and long-term survival and higher rates of hepatic decompensation. An albumin–bilirubin–based ALBI classification represents a pragmatic and clinically meaningful tool for risk stratification when MELD is unavailable and may inform treatment selection, prognostication, and post-therapy surveillance in routine clinical practice.

8597 Background: Lorlatinib improves outcomes in NSCLC but commonly causes marked hyperlipidemia, prompting initiation of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT). Beyond lipid control, LLT may be associated with vascular events; however, its association with thromboembolism, healthcare utilization, and mortality among lorlatinib-treated patients has not been characterized in real-world cohorts. Methods: Using TriNetX, we identified adults with NSCLC who received lorlatinib (index = first lorlatinib record). Patients were grouped by early LLT initiation within 30 days of index versus no LLT within 30 days. LLT included statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors, or fibrates. Cohorts were balanced 1:1 using propensity score matching on demographics and baseline comorbidities. Outcomes were assessed through 365 days; patients with prior outcome documentation were excluded. Results: After matching, 387 patients per cohort were analyzed. Early LLT was associated with lower all-cause mortality at 365 days (16.1% vs 26.4%; risk ratio [RR] 0.61, 95% CI 0.46-0.81; p=0.0004) and improved time to death (hazard ratio 0.60, 95% CI 0.44-0.82). Early LLT was also associated with lower venous thromboembolism (6.2% vs 12.1%; RR 0.51, 95% CI 0.30-0.86; p=0.0093) and fewer inpatient hospitalizations (14.6% vs 23.6%; RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.40-0.97; p=0.0320). Emergency department visits were numerically lower (8.3% vs 13.9%; RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.35-1.00; p=0.0467). No significant differences were observed for acute kidney injury or major adverse cardiovascular events. Conclusions: In a real-world propensity-matched cohort of lorlatinib-treated NSCLC patients, LLT initiated within 30 days was associated with lower 1-year mortality, venous thromboembolism, and hospitalization. Given the frequency of lorlatinib-associated dyslipidemia, these findings support early lipid monitoring and timely LLT initiation in practice. Prospective studies are warranted to confirm these associations. 365-day outcomes after matching.

5079 Background: Treatment sequencing in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after ADT and ARPI exposure varies in practice. While 177 Lu-PSMA use is expanding in routine practice, real world head to head comparisons with docetaxel in ARPI-exposed mCRPC are limited, particularly for short-term outcomes and treatment related acute care utilization. Methods: Using TriNetX, adults > 18 years of age with metastatic prostate cancer and prior ARPI exposure who initiated 177 Lu-PSMA or docetaxel were identified (index = first administration). Cohorts were balanced with 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) on demographics and baseline comorbidities. Outcomes from day 1–180 post-index included all-cause mortality (primary), hospitalization, acute kidney injury (AKI; ICD-10 N17), and thromboembolic/ischemic events (ICD-10 I21/I26/I63/I82). For each outcome, patients with prior documentation of that outcome were excluded. Outcomes are reported as risks and risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals. Results: Before matching, 563 patients initiated 177 Lu-PSMA-617 and 8,749 initiated docetaxel; after 1:1 PSM, 497 patients per cohort were analyzed. At 180 days, all-cause mortality was 7.3% (36/494) with 177 Lu-PSMA-617 versus 12.2% (60/491) with docetaxel (RR 0.60, 95% CI 0.40–0.88). Hospitalization occurred in 7.2% (21/290) versus 21.1% (52/247) (RR 0.34, 95% CI 0.21–0.55). In a separate matched renal-safety analysis (480 per cohort), AKI occurred in 2.8% (11/390) versus 9.0% (36/399) (RR 0.31, 95% CI 0.16–0.60). Thromboembolic/ischemic events were 3.8% (15/394) versus 6.4% (26/404) (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.32–1.10). Conclusions: In ARPI-exposed mCRPC, 177 Lu-PSMA was associated with lower 180-day mortality risk and substantially fewer hospitalizations than docetaxel, with a lower risk of AKI. These findings highlight a potential short-term effectiveness and acute-care utilization advantage of 177 Lu-PSMA in routine practice and support further prospective evaluation.
