ᄋ Age ᄈ18 years.
ᄋ Patients should have proven primary CCC according to one of the following criteria:
o Histological evidence of CCC on a biopsy specimen.
o ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 (see appendix 8.4).
ᄋ Patients with at least one measurable lesion by CT-scan or MRI according to the RECIST criteria, performed within 4 weeks prior to start of dosing.
ᄋ Patients who have received systemic 1st or 2nd line chemotherapy
ᄋ Patients who have received local therapy, such as: surgery, radiation therapy, hepatic arterial embolization, chemo-embolization, radio-frequency ablation or cryo-ablation are eligible, provided that they either have a target lesion which has not been subjected to local therapy and/or the target lesion(s) within the field of the local therapy has shown an increase of ᄈ25% in the size. Furthermore, the local therapy applied to target or non-target lesions needs to have been completed at least 8 weeks prior to study inclusion (Lesions treated with external beam radiation therapy are not acceptable as target lesions, unless they fulfill the conditions described above).
ᄋ Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function, as assessed by the following laboratory requirements to be conducted within 7 days prior to screening:
o Hemoglobin ᄈ 8.5 g/dl
o Absolute granulocytes ᄈ 1.5 x 109/L
o Platelet count ᄈ 60 x 109/L
o Total serum bilirubin ᆪ 3 mg/dl
o ALT (SGOT) and AST (SGPT) ᆪ 5 x upper limit of normal
o PT-INRᆪ 2.3 or PT ᆪ 6 seconds above control
o Serum creatinine ᆪ 1.5 x upper limit of normal.
ᄋ Written Informed Consent must be obtained and documented prior to any study specific procedures. |
