Summary

This trialis testing a drug to treat advanced liver cancer, stopping tumor cell growth and multiplication.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced liver cancer (HCC) who haven't responded to current treatments. They must have documented HCC, be in good enough health as judged by specific blood and organ function tests, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Contraception is required for participants of childbearing potential. Those with other active cancers or severe heart conditions are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study is testing PD-0332991, a drug that aims to halt the growth of liver tumor cells by preventing DNA replication. This Phase 2 trial will assess its effectiveness in patients whose tumors can't be surgically removed and who meet certain health criteria.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects of PD-0332991 aren't detailed here, similar drugs often cause fatigue, nausea, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver issues, and potential allergic reactions.
