Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: ? Age ?18 years. ? Patients should have proven primary CCC according to one of the following criteria: o Histological evidence of CCC on a biopsy specimen. o ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 (see appendix 8.4). ? Patients with at least one measurable lesion by CT-scan or MRI according to the RECIST criteria, performed within 4 weeks prior to start of dosing. ? Patients who have received systemic 1st or 2nd line chemotherapy ? Patients who have received local therapy, such as: surgery, radiation therapy, hepatic arterial embolization, chemo-embolization, radio-frequency ablation or cryo-ablation are eligible, provided that they either have a target lesion which has not been subjected to local therapy and/or the target lesion(s) within the field of the local therapy has shown an increase of ?25% in the size. Furthermore, the local therapy applied to target or non-target lesions needs to have been completed at least 8 weeks prior to study inclusion (Lesions treated with external beam radiation therapy are not acceptable as target lesions, unless they fulfill the conditions described above). ?
