City:  Metairie
State:  
LA
Zip Code: 70006
Conditions: Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if IMC-A12 given in combination with Sorafenib is safe and effective for patients with advanced liver cancer.
Study summary: The purpose of this study is to determine progression free survival (PFS) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who have received no prior systemic therapy when treated with IMC-A12 administered every three weeks in combination with oral sorafenib administered twice daily.
Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: - The patient has histologically or cytologically confirmed, unresectable HCC. - The patient has at least one target lesion measurable according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. Target lesion(s) must not lay within a previously irradiated, ablated, or chemoembolized area. If a lesion does lie in such an area, there must be evidence of growth on successive imaging studies, including tumor hypervascularity, in order for such a lesion to be considered a target lesion. - The patient has not received prior systemic therapy for HCC. Patients may have received prior embolization, chemoembolization, intra-arterial chemotherapy infusion, ethanol injection, radiofrequency ablation, or cryosurgery. - The patient has a life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks. - The patient has resolution to Grade ≤ 1 by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), Version 3.0, of all clinically significant adverse events. - The patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0-1. - The patient has a Child-Pugh Classification score of A or B. - The patient has adequate hematologic function as defined by absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 x 109/L, hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL, and platelets ≥ 75 x 109/L. - The patient has adequate hepatic function as defined by a total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL and aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN). - The patient has adequate renal function as defined by serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the institutional ULN or calculated creatinine clearance (per the Cockcroft-Gault formula) > 50 mL/minute. - The patient has fasting serum glucose < 160 mg/dL or below the ULN and/or hemoglobin A1C < 7%. If baseline nonfasting glucose < 160 mg/dL, fasting glucose measurement is not required. - The patient must have adequate coagulation function as defined by International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) < 1.5 x the ULN. - If a female of childbearing potential, the patient has a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to first administration of study therapy, and agrees to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) for the duration of study participation. - The patient has the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: - The patient has brain metastases. - The patient has leptomeningeal disease. - The patient has received prior systemic chemotherapy, biologic or antiangiogenic, or other systemic anticancer treatment for HCC. - The patient has received chemoembolization, irradiation, or other locoregional therapy for HCC within 28 days of first dose of study therapy. - The patient has received chemoembolization, irradiation, or other locoregional therapy for HCC within 28 days of first dose of study therapy. - The patient has ascites or encephalopathy uncontrollable by medical management. - The patient has experienced esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding within the 6 months prior to first dose of study therapy. - The patient has acute hepatitis. - The patient has fibrolamellar HCC. - The patient is receiving any other investigational agent(s). - The patient has a history of treatment with other agents targeting the IGF receptor. - The patient has a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of chemical or biologic composition similar to those of IMC-A12 or sorafenib. - The patient has poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. Patients with a history of diabetes mellitus are allowed to participate, provided that their blood glucose is within normal range and that they are on a stable dietary or therapeutic regimen for this condition. - The patient is positive for infection with the human immunodeficiency virus. - The patient has an uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection requiring parenteral antibiotics, or a psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study. - The patient has congestive heart failure > class II NYHA, unstable angina pectoris, new onset of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, or cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring antiarrhythmic therapy. - The patient has uncontrolled hypertension despite optimal therapy. - The patient has experienced thrombotic or embolic events, including transient ischemic attacks, within 6 months prior to study entry. - The patient has experienced a hemorrhage or bleeding event ≥ NCI-CTCAE Grade 3 within 4 weeks prior first dose of study therapy. - The patient has a serious nonhealing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture. - There is evidence or history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy. - The patient is receiving therapeutic anticoagulation with Vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin or phenprocoumon, or with heparins or heparinoids. Low dose warfarin/phenprocoumon is permitted if the INR is < 1.5. Low dose aspirin (300 mg/day) is permitted. - The patient is receiving CYP 3A4 inducers (such as rifampicin, St. John's Wort, phenytoin, phenobarbital or dexamethasone). - The patient is unable to swallow the sorafenib tablets. - The patient is pregnant or lactating. - The patient has a history of another primary cancer, with the exception of: a) curatively resected nonmelanomatous skin cancer; b) curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ; or c) other primary solid tumor treated with curative intent and no known active disease present and no treatment administered during the last 3 years.
