Recruitment Details

Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Only subjects with measurable, histologically or cytologically documented hepatocellur carcinoma (HCC) which was inoperable or who had refused surgery could participate in this study.

Pre-Assignment Details

Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Of 147 enrolled patients, 137 received treatment. 10 patients failed screening; reasons were: target lesions identified at baseline (3), liver function tests too high for inclusion (2), prior systemic anticancer treatment (2), creatinine too high for inclusion (1), platelets too low for inclusion (1), diagnosis of HCC not confirmed (1)

Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Subjects had advanced disease and were heavily pretreated. National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) was translated to Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) for System Organ Class (SOC) only.
