Sorafenib Therapy Prior to Radiofrequency Ablation for Intermediate Sized Hepatocellular Cancer

Hepatocellular Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title:
Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase II Trial Of Short Course Sorafenib Therapy Prior to Radiofrequency Ablation for Intermediate Sized (3.5 to 7cm) Hepatocellular Cancer

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if sorafenib improves the effectiveness of a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of hepatocellular cancer (HCC). Radiofrequency ablation has been used to treat many types of tumors, including hepatocellular cancers. During RFA a needle is inserted into the tumor tissue and heat is used to kill the tumor cells. Sorafenib has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of hepatocellular cancer that cannot be treated with surgery. Pre-clinical data suggests that sorafenib may improve the efficacy of RFA.

Clinical Trial Description

Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) has a poor prognosis with increasing mortality in the United States. Because HCC generally develops in patients with underlying liver disease, resection is often not possible. Liver transplant improves survival for HCC patients but given the national organ donor shortage often patients have to wait a considerable time for transplant. Liver-directed therapies such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) remain important tools to control tumor growth and to potentially "bridge" patients to liver transplant. However, liver-directed therapies for HCC tumors greater than 3cm in size are suboptimal, leaving a critical unmet need. Antiangiogenic systemic agents, such as oral sorafenib, reduce tumor blood flow and have been shown to improve RFA efficacy in animal and in computer models. ;
