The primary purpose of the study is to explore whether treatment with PF-03446962 and best supportive care is better than placebo plus best supportive care in prolonging survival of patients affected by recurrent liver cancer. In addition, the study will explore if adding PF-03446962 to best supportive care is safe, how PF-03446962 is metabolized, if there are patients' characteristics (biomarkers) that may predict response to PF-03446962, and if PF-03446962 has any effect on the patients' quality of life.
This study was terminated on June 24th, 2014 due to change in strategy of PF-03446962 clinical development. There were no safety or efficacy concerns regarding the study behind the decision to terminate the trial. The study was on temporary halt since March 10th and there are currently no patients on treatment or in the process of being randomized

Overall Survival (OS)
OS was the duration from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. For participants who are alive, overall survival was censored at the last contact. Death was determined from adverse event (AE) data where outcome was death or from follow-up contact data where the participant current status was death.
Time frame: From first randomization to date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months after last participant randomization
Time to Tumor Progression (TTP)
TTP was defined as the time from first randomization to date of first documentation of objective tumor progression. If tumor progression data included more than (\>) 1 date, the first date was to be used. TTP (in months) was calculated as first event date or last known progression-free date minus the first randomization date plus 1 divided by 30.4. Tumor progression was determined from oncologic assessment data (where data meet the criteria for progressive disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] version 1.1).
Time frame: Screening and every 8 weeks by calendar thereafter, up to 24 months after last participant randomization.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occured first. If tumor progression data included \>1 date, the first date was to be used. PFS (in months) was calculated as first event date minus first randomization date plus 1 divided by 30.4.
Time frame: Screening and every 8 weeks by calendar thereafter, up to 24 months after last participant randomization.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) - Percentage of Participants With Objective Response
ORR was defined as the proportion of participants with confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to RECIST version 1.1, relative to all randomized participants. CR were those that persisted on repeat imaging study more than or equal to (\>=) 4 weeks after initial documentation of response. PR was defined as \>=30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions and non CR/non PD to non-target lesions. Participants who did not have on study radiographic tumor re-evaluation or who died, progressed or dropped out for any reason prior to reaching a CR or PR were to be counted as non-responders in the assessment of ORR. A participant who initially met the criteria for a PR and then subsequently became a confirmed CR, was to be assigned a best response of CR.
Time frame: Screening and every 8 weeks by calendar thereafter, up to 24 months after last participant randomization.
Duration of Response (DR)
DR was defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. If tumor progression data included \>1 date, the first date was to be used. DR (in months) was calculated as the end date for DR minus date of first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed plus 1 divided by 30.4. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions and non-target, if any. PR was defined as \>=30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions and non CR/non PD to non-target lesions.
Time frame: From first randomization to date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months after last participant randomization
Percentage of Participants With Disease Control Rate (DCR) at 16 Weeks
DCR was defined as the proportion of participants with confirmed CR or confirmed PR or a best response of stable disease (SD) \>=16 weeks according to RECIST, relative to all randomized participants. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as \>=30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions and non CR/non PD to non-target lesions. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD), taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.
Time frame: From first randomization to date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months after last participant randomization
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Hepatobiliary Questionnaire (FACT-Hep)
Patient reported outcomes (PROs) were assessed using the FACT-Hep. The FACT-Hep included the FACT-general (FACT-G) and a hepatobiliary module, it consisted of the 27-item FACT-G, which assessed generic health-related quality of life (HRQoL) concerns, and the 18-item hepatobiliary subscale (HS), which assessed disease-specific issues. The questionnaire used a 5 point Likert scale from '0' "not at all" to '4' "very much" regarding how much each item was present in the last 7 days; lower score indicated severer symptom. Eight of the items (lack of energy, pain, weight loss, back pain, fatigue, stomach pain/discomfort, nausea, and jaundice) made up the Fact Hepatobiliary Symptom Index (FHSI 8) were considered to be symptoms specific to hepatobiliary cancer.
Time frame: Screening, Cycle 1 Day1,8; Cycle >=2 Day1; End of treatment, survival follow-up up to 24 months after last participant randomization.
