Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Oral Artesunate in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Detailed Description: Artemisinins, compounds extracted from the herb Artemisia annua, are safe and effective FDA-approved antimalarial drugs. Recent studies have suggested that artemisinins also exert anti-angiogenic and cytotoxic effects on human cancer cells. Artesunate (ART) is a water soluble semisynthetic artemisinin with improved pharmacokinetic properties. A single-center phase I dose-escalation study evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics of oral Artesunate in patients with Advanced HCC. Approximately 15 patients will be enrolled in this trial. Dose-escalation protocol: The first patient will receive 200 mg Artesunate once-daily for 14 days. If no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed after 14 days, the next patient will start at a daily dose of 300 mg Artesunate. If no DLT is observed after 14 days, a cohort of 3 patients will receive 400 mg once-daily for 14 days. For each subsequent cohort of 3 patients 200 mg will be added to the dose, until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.
