AZD2171 in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Liver Cancer

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2012-03-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well AZD2171 works in treating patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic liver cancer. AZD2171 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
• Treatments: Cediranib; Maleic acid
