Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

DEB-TACE

Sorafenib

Arm Description

ONCO-DOX (Doxorubicin loaded Microspheres) up to 150 mg per treatment; treatments can be repeated every 4-8 weeks until complete tumor response is achieved.

200 mg Sorafenib twice daily; continue until unacceptable toxicity or unequivocal tumor progression

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall Survival
Overall survival in HCC subjects with minimum follow-up of subjects to at least one year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time to Progression
Time to progression (TTP) determined by radiological assessment using mRECIST criteria
Time to Extrahepatic Spread
Time to Extrahepatic Spread for each subject
Proportion Progression Free
Proportion Progression-Free (PPF) at one year
Frequency of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events
The frequency of treatment emergent adverse events at 30 day, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24-months following the initial treatment. The proportions of patients in each arm experiencing treatment emergent adverse events will be presented descriptively with the number experiencing the event, the number evaluated, the percentage, and the exact two-sided 95% confidence interval.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a prospective, multicenter study that will be conducted at up to 40 centers in the United States and Outside United States (OUS). Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either ONCO-DOX or sorafenib treatment. This study will evaluate the study participants' outcomes (medical condition) after being treated with ONCO-DOX and compare it to those treated with sorafenib alone.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, two-arm, stratified then randomized (1:1), open label, controlled, multicenter Phase III trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ONCOZENE™ Microspheres loaded with doxorubicin (ONCO-DOX) in comparison with orally administered sorafenib in patients with unresectable, locally-advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients will be stratified by ECOG Performance Status 0 versus 1, portal vein invasion (yes vs. no), and alpha feto protein <400 versus ≥400. They will then be randomized at each site within each stratum. The study will be conducted at up to 40 centers in the United States, Europe & Asia. Enrolled patients will be randomized with equal allocation by study site. Patients will be followed for two years after the onset of treatment. The study will assess prospectively the efficacy and safety of DEB-TACE (ONCO-DOX) in patients with unresectable, locally-advanced HCC. The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival between DEB-TACE (ONCO-DOX) and sorafenib treatment groups.
