Pexa-Vec (pexastimogene devacirepvec) will be administered as 3 bi-weekly intratumoral (IT) injections of 1e9 pfu at day 1 and weeks 2 and 4, followed by sorafenib at Week 6. Pexastimogene Devacirepvec (Pexa Vec): Pexa-Vec is a vaccinia virus based oncolytic immunotherapy designed to stimulate the immune system following infection and replication within tumor cells. Sorafenib: Sorafenib belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of antineoplastic agents, protein kinase inhibitors, ATC code: L01XE05. Sorafenib is a multi-kinase inhibitor which has demonstrated both anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic properties in vitro and in vivo. Sorafenib is approved for the treatment of advanced HCC and is the Standard Of Care for this disease. |
Sorafenib (400 mg twice daily) begins on Day 1. Sorafenib: Sorafenib belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of antineoplastic agents, protein kinase inhibitors, ATC code: L01XE05. Sorafenib is a multi-kinase inhibitor which has demonstrated both anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic properties in vitro and in vivo. Sorafenib is approved for the treatment of advanced HCC and is the Standard Of Care for this disease. |
