Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or hepatocarcinoma is the most common of the primary liver cancers (85% to 90%). According to Globocan (2012 data), liver cancer is the 6th most common cancer in terms of incidence (782,000 new cases worldwide each year, 5.6% of all new cancer cases) with the 2nd highest mortality rate (95% lethality) after lung cancer. The major risk factors are infection by hepatitis viruses (B and C), overconsumption of alcohol and metabolic diseases, especially non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a growing cause of cirrhosis and HCC.
This international, multicenter, randomized, comparative Phase 3 trial was conducted in 11 countries (Europe, USA, and MENA) at 70 centers and enrolled 397 adult patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intolerant to sorafenib or having progressed after a systemic therapy including sorafenib. Patients were randomized to receive Livatag® administered intravenously for 6 hours every 4 weeks (n=263) or best standard of care, i.e. any cancer therapy chosen by the physician except sorafenib (n=134). Treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The monitoring of the patients enrolled in the study will continue to completion, expected Q1 2019.
