Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - SIR-Spheres
Treatment: Drugs - Sorafenib tosylate
Active Comparator: Sorafenib, Multikinase Inhibitor, Tablet - Sorafenib tosylate:
Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor that decreases tumor cell proliferation.
Sorafenib was shown to inhibit multiple intracellular (c-CRAF, BRAF and mutant BRAF) and cell surface kinases (KIT, FLT- 3, RET, VEGFR-1, VEGFR- 2, VEGFR- 3, and PDGFR- ß). Several of these kinases are thought to be involved in tumor cell signaling, angiogenesis and apoptosis. Sorafenib inhibited tumor growth of the human hepatocellular carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma, and several other human tumor xenografts in immunocompromised mice. A reduction in tumor angiogenesis and increases in tumor apoptosis was seen in models of human hepatocellular and renal cell carcinoma. Additionally a reduction in tumor cell signaling was seen in a model of human hepatocellular carcinoma.
Active Comparator: SIR-Spheres, Microspheres, Device - SIR-Spheres:
SIR-Spheres consist of biocompatible resin microspheres containing yttrium-90, with a size between 20 and 60 microns in diameter. Yttrium-90 is a high-energy pure beta-emitting isotope with no primary gamma emission. The half life of yttrium-90 is 64.1 hours. In clinical use which requires the isotope to decay to infinity, 94% of the radiation is delivered in 11 days leaving only background radiation with no therapeutic value.
SIR-Spheres is implanted into hepatic tumours by delivery via either the common hepatic artery or the right or left hepatic artery using a catheter or implanted port . Once SIR-Spheres is implanted into the liver, it is not metabolised or excreted and it stays permanently in the liver.
Treatment: Devices: SIR-Spheres
One time treatment. Dose administered based on tumour volume. Each vial is 3.0GBq.
Treatment: Drugs: Sorafenib tosylate
Oral Tablet, 400mg B.i.d, until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops

Progression free survival in the liver

Progression-free survival in the liver is defined as the time interval between randomisation and the date of tumour progression in the liver or death, whichever is earlier. Tumour progression in the liver will be determined from serial CT scans. Diagnosis of tumour progression of disease should be made using the RECIST guideline version 1.1. 2 years is an estimated time frame.

Progression-free survival overall is defined as the time interval between randomisation and the date of tumour progression at any site in the body or death, whichever is earlier. Tumour progression at any site in the body will be measured by any definitive imaging technique including CT scan, MRI study or other nuclear medicine scan. The Investigator should clearly indicate the site of tumour progression (hepatic or extra-hepatic) at the time of recurrence.
2 years is an estimated time frame.

Key exclusion criteria
- Have had more than 2 administrations of hepatic artery directed therapy.
- Subjects who have had hepatic artery directed therapy done < 4 weeks prior to study
entry.
- Have had systemic chemotherapy for HCC except for prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant
therapy given more than 6 months from enrolment.
- have had prior treatment with Sorafenib or VEGF inhibitors.
- Prior hepatic radiation therapy for HCC or other malignancy.
- Currently receiving any other investigational agents for the treatment of their
cancer.
- Has intractable clinical ascites (in spite of optimal diuretic treatment) or any other
clinical signs of liver failure, on physical examination.
- Complete main portal vein thrombosis.
- Any metastatic disease (local-regional lymph nodes measuring less than 2 cm in
greatest diameter or lung nodules measuring less than 1 cm are not contraindications

cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or other cancer for which the patient has
been disease-free for at least 5 years.

progressive neurologic dysfunction would confound the evaluation of neurologic and
other adverse events.
- Uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection (except viral hepatitis), symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable
angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that
would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Any of the following contraindications to angiography and selective visceral
catheterization:
- Bleeding diathesis, not correctable by the standard forms of therapy.

practice effective contraception, as per Investigator discretion during the study. The
rhythm method is not to be used as the sole method of contraception.
- Male subjects, unwillingness to practice effective contraception (per Investigator
discretion) while taking part in this study, because the effect of the SIR-Spheres
treatment on sperm or upon the development of an unborn child are unknown.
- Current enrolment in any other investigational therapeutic drug or device study.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of SIRT as compared with
Sorafenib in patients with locally advanced liver cancer in terms of overall survival (OS).
The Study null hypothesis is, there is no difference in overall survival between patients
receiving SIRT and those receiving Sorafenib therapy.
