    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. To Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Treatment With BTG-002814 [Continuously throughout the study totalling 9 weeks]

      Adverse events (AEs) related to treatment with BTG-002814 using the National Cancer Institute- Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events- Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE v4.0)

    2. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Vandetanib and N-desmethyl Vandetanib in Plasma Following Treatment With BTG-002814 [pre-treatment, 2 hours post-treatment, 4 hours post treatment, 24 hours post treatment, prior to surgery, and end of study (28-32 days post-surgery)]

      Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of participants plasma samples by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry at the following timepoints: pre-treatment, post treatment (2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours), prior to surgery, and end of study to derive Cmax.

    3. Concentration of Vandetanib in Resected Liver Tissue Following Treatment With BTG-002814 [Following surgical resection of tumour]

      PK analysis of participants resected liver tissue samples by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry to determine vandetanib concentrations at the centre, middle, and edge of the tumour, as well as in the normal tissue surrounding the tumour (1cm away).

    4. Time Taken to Reach the Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Vandetanib and N-desmethyl Vandetanib in Plasma Following Treatment With BTG-002814 [pre-treatment, 2 hours post-treatment, 4 hours post treatment, 24 hours post treatment, prior to surgery, and end of study (28-32 days post-surgery)]

      PK analysis of participants plasma samples by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry at the following timepoints: pre-treatment, post treatment (2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours), prior to surgery, and end of study to derive Tmax

    5. Concentration of Vandetanib and N-desmethyl Vandetanib in Plasma Over Time Until End of Study Following Treatment With BTG-002814 [pre-treatment, 2 hours post-treatment, 4 hours post treatment, 24 hours post treatment, prior to surgery, and end of study (28-32 days post-surgery)]

      PK analysis of participants plasma samples by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry at the following timepoints: pre-treatment, post treatment (2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours), prior to surgery, and end of study to derive AUCEoS (area under the curve at end of study).

    6. Concentration of N-desmethyl Vandetanib in Resected Liver Tissue Following Treatment With BTG-002814 [Following surgical resection of tumour]

      PK analysis of participants resected liver tissue samples by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry to determine N-desmethyl vandetanib concentrations at the centre, middle, and edge of the tumour, as well as in the normal tissue surrounding the tumour (1cm away).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Evaluate the Anatomical Distribution of BTG-002814 on Non-contrast Enhanced Imaging Using 4D CT [1 day after treatment]

      An automated thresholding and filtering algorithm was designed to allow the volume of delivered beads to be quantitatively determined for regions of interest (liver, registered sample, tumour, tumour dilated 1cm, tumour dilated 2cm) from the pre-surgical non-contrast CT scan and the PET/CT of the explanted liver samples following surgery.

    2. Evaluation of Histopathological Features in the Surgical Specimen (Malignant and Non-malignant Liver Tissue) by Analysing Percentage of Tumour Necrosis and Viability [Post-surgery (tumour resection)]

      An evaluation of histopathological features in both malignant and non-malignant liver tissue from the surgical specimen was performed by microscopic examination. Sections of resected liver tissue was paraffin-embedded and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) slides were produced. The H&E slides were scanned to produce 3D pathology models of tumour volume and compared to the 3D models generated from clinical imaging. This allowed the extent of tumour necrosis and viable tumour to be determined.

    3. Evaluation of Histopathological Features in the Surgical Specimen (Malignant and Non-malignant Liver Tissue) by Assessing Number of Participants With Any Vascular Changes. [Post-surgery (tumour resection)]

      An evaluation of histopathological features in both malignant and non-malignant liver tissue from the surgical specimen was performed by microscopic examination. Sections of resected liver tissue was paraffin-embedded and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) slides were produced. The H&E slides were scanned to produce 3D pathology models of tumour volume and compared to the 3D models generated from clinical imaging. This allowed any vascular changes to be determined.

    4. Assessment of Changes in Blood Flow on Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) MRI Following Treatment With BTG-002814. The Following Parameters Will be Derived From DCE-MRI Images: Ktrans, Kep and Ve. [Baseline, pre-treatment, up to 3 days prior to surgical resection of tumour]

      After acquisition of DCE-MRI liver sequences, tumour signal intensity curves were used to calculate tissue parameters describing tumour perfusion, blood flow and vascularity, before and following treatment with BTG 002814. Bland Altman analysis showed the variability between baseline and pre-treatment readings to be too high, so an interpretation of the changes in blood flow prior to surgery is unreliable.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Study Blood Biomarkers With the Potential to Identify Patients Likely to Respond to Treatment With BTG-002814 [Baseline, pre-treatment, 1 day after treatment, Up to 3 days prior to surgical resection, end of study (28-32 days post-surgery).]

      The following serum biomarkers were measured at Baseline, pre-treatment, 1 day after treatment, Up to 3 days prior to surgical resection, end of study ; cytokines, chemokines and growth factors relevant to cancer and inflammation.

    2. Study Tissue Biomarkers to Explore Key Immune, Inflammatory and Drug Related Mechanisms [Baseline, pre-treatment, Up to 3 days prior to surgical resection.]

      The following tissue biomarkers were measured at Baseline, pre-treatment, Up to 3 days prior to surgical resection; Levels of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in patients with HCC. Levels of serum Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA), Cancer Antigen (CA)19-9 and CA-125 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

    Description An automated thresholding and filtering algorithm was designed to allow the volume of delivered beads to be quantitatively determined for regions of interest (liver, registered sample, tumour, tumour dilated 1cm, tumour dilated 2cm) from the pre-surgical non-contrast CT scan and the PET/CT of the explanted liver samples following surgery.
    Time Frame 1 day after treatment

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    All 8 subjects treated with BTG-002814 were analysed, however, not all subjects have sampling of all regions (liver, registered sample, tumour, tumour dilated 1cm, tumour dilated 2cm) due to some samples not being able to be accurately processed and registered. The data for this outcome measure is reported by individual subject, for each sample region (where data is available) per row.

    8. Secondary Outcome
    Title Evaluation of Histopathological Features in the Surgical Specimen (Malignant and Non-malignant Liver Tissue) by Analysing Percentage of Tumour Necrosis and Viability
    Description An evaluation of histopathological features in both malignant and non-malignant liver tissue from the surgical specimen was performed by microscopic examination. Sections of resected liver tissue was paraffin-embedded and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) slides were produced. The H&E slides were scanned to produce 3D pathology models of tumour volume and compared to the 3D models generated from clinical imaging. This allowed the extent of tumour necrosis and viable tumour to be determined.

    Title Assessment of Changes in Blood Flow on Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) MRI Following Treatment With BTG-002814. The Following Parameters Will be Derived From DCE-MRI Images: Ktrans, Kep and Ve.
    Description After acquisition of DCE-MRI liver sequences, tumour signal intensity curves were used to calculate tissue parameters describing tumour perfusion, blood flow and vascularity, before and following treatment with BTG 002814. Bland Altman analysis showed the variability between baseline and pre-treatment readings to be too high, so an interpretation of the changes in blood flow prior to surgery is unreliable.
    Time Frame Baseline, pre-treatment, up to 3 days prior to surgical resection of tumour
