  • 2. Histological/cytological confirmation or clinical/laboratory diagnosis of primary HCC [clinical/laboratory diagnosis is defined according to the AASLD guidelines as the following:

  • b. nodules between 1?2 cm in cirrhotic livers: with typical vascular features on 2 dynamic studies.]

  • 8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, 1, or 2
  • 9. Aged ?18 years old
  • 10. WBC count ?2,000 cells/mm3 and ?50,000 cells/mm3
  • 11. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ?1,200 cells/mm3
  • 12. Lymphocytes ?500 cells/mm3
  • 13. Hemoglobin ?10 g/dL (correction with transfusion allowed)
  • 14. Adequate liver function (albumin ?2.8 g/dL, total bilirubin ?3 mg/dL; ALT, AST ?5 x ULN)
  • 15. Serum chemistries within normal limits or Grade 1 (excluding alkaline phosphatase)
  • 16. For patients who are sexually active: patient must be able and willing to abstain for a minimum of 15 days after each treatment and subsequently use barrier method during JX 594 treatment period and for at least 6 weeks after the last JX 594 treatment
  • 17. Written informed consent obtained from the patient
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:

Exclusion Criteria

  • 2. Significant immunodeficiency due to underlying illness (e.g., HIV/AIDS) and/or medication
  • 3. History of severe exfoliative skin condition
  • 4. Tumor(s) invading a major vascular structure
  • 5. Clinically significant and/or rapidly accumulating ascites, pericardial and/or pleural effusions

  • 9. Received anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks prior to first treatment (6 weeks in case of mitomycin C or nitrosoureas)
  • 10. Participation in any other research protocol involving an investigational medicinal product (IMP) within 2 months prior to first treatment
  • 11. Other medical condition or laboratory abnormality or active infection that in the judgment of the Principal Investigator may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with interpretation of study results and/or otherwise make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study
  • 12. Use of interferon/pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) or ribavirin that cannot be discontinued within 14 days prior to any JX 594 dose.
  • 13. Significant bleeding event within the last 12 months based on investigator assessment.
  • 14. Inability to receive IV iodinated contrast agents for CT scanning due to documented history of iodinated contrast allergy unless controlled by medical intervention
