The PI is studying if sorafenib/hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) will have improved efficacy when compared to sorafenib alone and in patients progressing of sorafenib the addition of HCQ would lead to disease stability in patients with advanced hepatocellular cancer (HCC).

---|---|---|
Progress on sorafenib | As second-line treatment, we will add hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to sorafenib (SOR) dose the patient was tolerating at the time of progression. | 400mg by mouth daily Other names:
Patients will receive SOR 400 mg by PO twice daily on Cycle1/Day1 (C1D1). Other names:

No prior systemic treatment | Sorafenib (SOR)-naïve patients receive SOR 400 mg by PO twice daily on Cycle1/Day1 (C1D1). In clinical practice, dose reduction of SOR is often required. Therefore, on C1D15, the clinician will dose-reduce sorafenib based on toxicity and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 400 mg PO daily will be started. C2D1 of each cohort, toxicity of HCQ will be assessed. Dose reductions due to adverse events (AEs) to each agent are allowed for SOR per standard of care and/or HCQ for grade 3+ AE. | 400mg by mouth daily Other names:
