A Phase 2b Study of Modified Vaccinia Virus to Treat Patients Advanced Liver Cancer Who Failed Sorafenib

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT01387555

Purpose

This study is to determine whether JX-594 (Pexa-Vec) plus best supportive care is more effective in improving survival than best supportive care in patients with advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) who have failed sorafenib.

Official Title

A Phase 2b Randomized Trial of JX-594 (Vaccinia GM-CSF / TK-deactivated Virus) Plus Best Supportive Care Versus Best Supportive Care in Patients With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Who Have Failed Sorafenib Treatment

   clinical diagnosis

   - Previously treated with sorafenib for ≥ 14 days and has discontinued sorafenib
   treatment at least 14 days prior to randomization due to either intolerance or
   radiographic progression NOTE: Sorafenib is NOT required to be the most recent
   treatment received for HCC

   imaging-guidance; At least one tumor in the liver that has not received prior
   local-regional treatment OR that has exhibited >25% growth in viable tumor size since
   prior local-regional treatment.

KEY Exclusion Criteria:

   - Received sorafenib within 14 days prior to randomization

   - Received systemic anti-cancer therapy other than sorafenib within 28 days of
   randomization

   - Platelet count < 50,000 PLT/ mm3

   - Total white blood cell count < 2,000 cells/mm3

   - Prior or planned organ transplant

   - Known significant immunodeficiency due to underlying illness (e.g. HIV/AIDS) and/or
   medication
