Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Until all patients have disease progression or leave study due to intolerable advese events- Estimate of 1 year for each patient. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Time to tumor progression (TTP) [ Time Frame: Until all patients have disease progression or leave study due to intolerable advese events- Estimate of 1 year for each patient ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Disease control rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Until all patients have disease progression or leave study due to intolerable advese events- Estimate of 1 year for each patient ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status over time [ Time Frame: Until all patients have disease progression or leave study due to intolerable advese events- Estimate of 1 year for each patient. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Safety [ Time Frame: Until all patients have disease progression or leave study due to intolerable advese events- Estimate of 1 year for each patient. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Change in quality of life (QoL) scores over time [ Time Frame: Until all patients have disease progression or leave study due to intolerable advese events- Estimate of 1 year for each patient. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Pharmacokinetics assessments [ Time Frame: Until all patients have disease progression or leave study due to intolerable advese events- Estimate of 1 year for each patient. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Advanced liver cancer

  2. Prior systemic treatment with sorafenib for advanced HCC and for whom their disease progressed during or after sorafenib treatment, or were intolerant to sorafenib treatment. Specifically, this can be defined as:

    • Documented radiological confirmation (radiology scans or report) of disease progression during or after sorafenib treatment
    • Intolerance to sorafenib (at any dose and/or duration) is defined as documented sorafenib-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events that led to sorafenib discontinuation.

    NOTE:

    • Sorafenib must be the last antineoplastic treatment before randomization
    • Prior local and/or hormonal therapy (e.g., tamoxifen) before sorafenib is allowed
    • One systemic chemotherapy regimen for advanced HCC is allowed before sorafenib treatment
  3. ECOG performance status of ≤ 2
  4. Child-Pugh A

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Active bleeding during the last 28 days
  • Prior therapy with mTOR inhibitors
  • Prior liver or other organ transplantation which mandates systemic immunosuppression Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
