Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether AMG 386, in combination with Sorafenib, is effective in the treatment of advanced or inoperable Hepatocellular cancer in subjects who have not received any prior systemic therapy except surgery or locoregional therapy.

Disease status and disease progression will be assessed every 8 weeks. Subjects will remain on treatment until: progressive disease by RECIST criteria; clinical progression; death or loss to follow-up; or withdrawal of informed consent.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of AMG 386 in combination with sorafenib as measured by the progression free survival (PFS) rate at 4 months in subjects with advanced or inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Progression free survival (PFS) rate at 4 months [4 months]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Incidence of adverse events and significant laboratory abnormalities [Adverse events at every visit, significant laboratory abnormalities at least every 4 weeks]

  2. Objective response rate, Disease control rate, Progression free survival, Overall survival, Time to progression [Radiologic imaging every 8 weeks]

  3. Pharmacokinetic parameters for AMG 386 when used in combination with Sorafenib [Weeks 1, 2, 5, 9, and every 16 weeks thereafter]

  4. Pharmacokinetic parameter for Sorafenib when used in combination with AMG 386 [Weeks 2, 5, 9, and every 16 weeks thereafter]

  5. Incidence of the occurrence of anti-AMG 386 antibody formation [Weeks 1, 5, 9, and every 16 weeks thereafter]

  6. Baseline values of and changes from baseline in pharmacodynamic, immunologic, biochemical, transcriptional, pharmacogenetic and angiogenic markers [Weeks 1, 2, 5, and every 16 weeks thereafter]
