Abstract

Second-line therapies are needed for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who progress after sorafenib. Positive signals seen with brivanib in phase II studies, reported herein, have yet to be confirmed in phase III trials. Identification of the molecular mechanisms driving sorafenib resistance should guide drug development strategies in this setting.
