E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Advanced tumoural disease, vascular invasion (VP3, VP4) of the tumour extrahepatic spread 2. Patients previously treated in the same liver lobe with transarterial embolisation (with or without chemotherapy) of the liver, prior radiotherapy or prior yttrium-90 microsphere therapy 3. Patients who are currently on the liver transplant waiting list 4. Part A: Patients with bilobar disease 5. Part A: Advanced liver disease patients who are Child-Pugh >A6 or who have active gastrointestinal bleeding Part B: Advanced liver disease patients who are Child-Pugh >B7 or who have active gastrointestinal bleeding 6. Any contraindication to vandetanib according to its label including: a.Hypersensitivity to the active substance b. Congenital long QTc syndrome. c. Patients known to have a QTc interval over 480 milliseconds. d. Concomitant use of medicinal products also known to also prolong the QTc interval and/or induce Torsades de pointes (See Appendix 1) 7. Any contraindication to hepatic artery catheterisation or hepatic embolisation procedures (e.g. portal venous thrombosis, severely reduced portal venous flow or hepatofugal blood flow, untreated varices at high risk of bleeding) biliary obstruction, bilio-enteric anastomosis and incompetent ampulla of vater 8. Women of childbearing potential not using effective contraceptive methods or women who are breast feeding 9. Confirmed allergy to iodine-based intravenous contrast media that cannot be managed with standard of care 10. Any co-morbid disease or condition or event that, in the Investigator’s judgment, would place the patient at undue risk, that and would preclude the safe use of treatment with BTG-002814 11. Patients who cannot have Computerized Tomography (CT) imaging (according to site policy) 12. Levels of potassium, calcium, magnesium or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) outside the normal ranges, and that in the Investigator’s judgement are clinically significant, or laboratory findings that in the view of the Investigator makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study 13. History of second malignancy (except those treated with curative intent for more than three years previously without relapse) and non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ 14. Patients who have received treatment in another clinical study with an investigational product within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit. 15. Concomitant treatment with any other anti cancer treatment (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, Chinese medicine) 16. Patients previously treated with any systemic anti-cancer therapy for HCC |
