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

Inclusion Criteria:
  1. - Diagnosis of primary HCC by tissue biopsy (histological/cytological diagnosis), or 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 - ECOG performance status 0, 1 or 2 - Child-Pugh Class A; or Child-Pugh Class B7 without clinically significant ascites - Hematocrit ≥30% or Hemoglobin ≥10 g/dL - Tumor status: Measurable viable tumor in the liver and injectable under 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.
