ImClone begins patient enrollment for liver cancer trial

The primary objective of the study is to determine the progression-free survival of patients with previously untreated and inoperable liver cancer when treated with IMC-1121B. This Phase II study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacology of IMC-1121B administered every two weeks by intravenous infusion.

The trial is enrolling patients with advanced, inoperable liver cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy or other systemic therapies for their disease. A total of 40 patients are expected to be enrolled.
