A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics as well as to Collect Preliminary Efficacy Data of BLU-554 in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Summary description of the study
This study is designed to obtain information about the safety and tolerability of the study drug BLU-554 when administered to patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), i.e., liver cancer. Since this is a study drug, this means that it is not yet known whether this drug helps patients and it is not commercially available. This study drug has not yet been tested in humans. This 3-part study includes a phase in which the most effective dose of the study drug with the fewest side effects is to be found, as well as two additional phases in which the safety and good tolerability of the chosen dose are to be confirmed.
(BASEC)
Intervention under investigation
We are conducting this study to determine the highest tolerable dose of the study drug and to prove (in phases 2 and 3) that this dose is safe and well tolerated.
(BASEC)
Disease under investigation
Hepatocellular Carcinoma / Liver Cancer
(BASEC)
For Parts 1 and 2: Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on the examination of tissue samples or other criteria. Patients with an unresectable carcinoma who have previously been treated with sorafenib, have declined sorafenib, or have had no access to sorafenib. For Parts 2 and 3: Patients with at least one tissue lesion that can be evaluated according to certain criteria for assessing treatment response in solid tumors. (BASEC)
Exclusion criteria
known metastases of the central nervous system (CNS) suspected CNS metastases family history of prolonged QT syndrome clinically significant, uncontrolled cardiovascular diseases including congestive heart failure grade III or IV; myocardial infarction or unstable myocarditis within the previous 6 months, uncontrolled hypertension or clinically significant, uncontrolled arrhythmias, including bradyarrhythmias that may cause QT prolongation (e.g., second-degree type II heart block or third-degree heart block) (BASEC)

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Gender: All
Maximum age: N/A
Minimum age: 18 Years
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Confirmed diagnosis of HCC by histological examination or by non-invasive criteria
according to European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) or American
Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) guidelines (Part 1, 2 and 3).
- For Part 1 and 2, the patient has unresectable disease and has been previously treated

undergo pre- and on-treatment tumor biopsy (if considered safe and medically feasible
by the treating investigator)
- For Part 2 and 3, all patients must have an FGF19 IHC result available. Only FGF19
IHC+ HCC patients will be eligible for Part 3.
