简要总结
This is a study of ADI-PEG 20 (pegylated arginine deiminase), an arginine degrading enzyme versus placebo in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have failed prior systemic treatment (chemotherapy). Hepatocellular carcinomas have been found to require arginine, an amino acid. Thus the hypothesis is that by restricting arginine with ADI-PEG 20, the hepatocellular carcinoma cells will starve and die.
详细描述
Patients will be randomized 2:1 to study drug versus placebo. Patients will be recruited from North American, Europe and Asia. In addition to overall survival, progression free survival, responses by RECIST 1.1 criteria and time to tumor progression will be calculated. Safety and tolerability will be assessed, as will pharmacodynamics (peripheral blood levels of arginine and citrulline), pharmacokinetics (peripheral blood levels of ADI-PEG 20) and immunogenicity (antibodies to ADI-PEG 20).

入选标准

- •Prior treatment with at least 1 systemic agent, with documented progressive disease after systemic agent(s), or adverse event(s)associated with prior systemic agent(s) that resulted in discontinuance of that agent(s).
- •Cirrhotic status of Child-Pugh grade B
- •Expected survival of at least 3 months.
- •Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function.
排除标准

- •Significant cardiac disease.
- •Serious infection requiring treatment with systemically administered antibiotics.
- •Pregnancy or lactation.

- •Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, or psychiatric illness or social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- •Subjects who have had any anticancer treatment within 2 weeks prior to entering the study.
