Abstract

BACKGROUND: We tested the hypothesis that 3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP, Triapine) may enhance response to re-treatment with gemcitabine by enhancing intracellular uptake of gemcitabine in a phase II study.

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a hypervascular tumour, which overexpresses vascular endothelial growth factor. Thalidomide is an antiangiogenic agent with activity in refractory multiple myeloma. The purpose of this multi-centre phase II study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of thalidomide in patients with advanced HCC.
