1.Signed, informed consent
2.Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant HCC refractory to standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists.
a.Patients with alcoholic cirrhosis may be included dependent on clinical judgement as to their ability to conform to the protocol
3.Patient is not a transplant candidate
4.Recovered from all acute adverse effects of prior therapies
5.Hepatitis is controlled by antiviral therapy (PEG-IFN, ribavirin, telaprevir, etc). Prophylactic Lamivudine for HBV carriers.
6.Child-Pugh classification A or B7.
7.Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function including the following
a.Hb = 9.0 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count = 1.5 x 109/L, platelets =75 x 109/L
b.Total bilirubin = 1.5 x upper normal limit, excluding cases where elevated bilirubin can be attributed to Gilberts Syndrome
c.AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT) = baseline + 4 x upper normal limit
d.Creatinine = 1.5 x upper normal limit
e.Serum albumin > 28 g/L
f.INR < 1.5 or a Pt/PTT within normal limits
6.Age = 18 years
7.Performance status (PS) 0-2 (ECOG scale)
8.Estimated life expectancy greater than 3 months
9.Female patients with reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to start of trial. Both women and men must agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception throughout the treatment period and for 3 months after discontinuation of treatment. Acceptable methods of contraception include IUD, oral contraceptive, subdermal implant and double barrier (condom with a contraceptive sponge or contraceptive pessary)
