- Portal vein invasion or extrahepatic metastatic disease.
- Treatment with non-steroidal systemic immunosuppressive medication within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipation of need for systemic immunosuppressive medication during study treatment. Systemic agents for skin-only conditions such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis may be permissible at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.
- Any concurrent condition requiring the continued or anticipated use of systemic steroids beyond physiologic replacement dosing (excluding non-systemic inhaled, topical skin, nasal, and/or ophthalmic corticosteroids). All other systemic corticosteroids above physiologic replacement dosing must be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to first study treatment. Patients who receive a corticosteroid pulse for IV contrast allergies are eligible.
- Active drug or alcohol use or dependence as documented in the chart that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements or interfere with eligibility for liver transplantation.

Prophylactic or suppressive antibiotics (e.g. for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis prophylaxis, dental procedures, or surgical prophylaxis) are allowed.
- A second primary malignancy that, in the judgment of the investigator, may affect the interpretation of results and/or eligibility for liver transplantation. Exceptions may be made if the participant has undergone potentially curative therapy with no evidence of disease recurrence for 3 years since initiation of that therapy and the participant is otherwise a candidate for Liver Transplant (Note: The time requirement for no evidence of disease for 3 years does not apply to participants who underwent successful definitive resection of basal cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ cervical cancer, other noninvasive or indolent malignancies, or other in situ cancers if the presence or history of these cancers would not otherwise affect candidacy for liver transplant (LT)).
- Prior organ allograft or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
- Active autoimmune disease, except for vitiligo, type 1 diabetes mellitus, asthma, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, or endocrinopathies manageable by hormone replacement; other autoimmune conditions with low risk of complications due to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) use may be allowable at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.
- Any other conditions judged by the investigator that would limit the evaluation of the subject.
- Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC.
- If Hepatitis B surface antigen positive, must be on hepatitis B antiviral therapy for at least 21 days prior to starting study therapy and continue antiviral therapy for at least one year following cessation of study therapy.
- Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease: New York Heart Association Class III or IV cardiac disease, including preexisting clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, or cardiomyopathy, unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction ≤ 6 months before study participation, other clinically significant heart disease (ie, uncontrolled ≥ Grade 3 hypertension), and/or Clinically significant ECG abnormality, including Corrected QT Interval Using Fridericia's Formula (QTcF) interval > 480 milliseconds (Note: If a single ECG tracing at screening is > 480 milliseconds, the average of a triplicate ECG may be used).
- History or evidence of interstitial lung disease, including noninfectious pneumonitis.
- Presence of gastrointestinal conditions that may affect drug absorption, as well as those that interfere with gastrointestinal transit, including gastric bypass surgery, gastric sleeve, or gastric band.
- Diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency.
- HIV infection and any one or more of the following: Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) + T-cell count < 200 cells/μL, detectable viral load, or antiretroviral therapy regimen containing moderate or potent CYP3A4/CYP3A5 inhibitors or inducers (Note: Participants modifying their HIV regimen to include only drugs without CYP3A4/5 inhibitors or inducers must be on a stable regimen for > 28 days prior to enrollment)
- Known hypersensitivity or severe reaction to any component of study drug or formulation components.
- Postoperative complications preventing the participant from adhering to protocol assessments and procedures.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing INCB099280 in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 26 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Acute Cellular Rejection of Liver Transplant Attributed to Study Therapy (time frame: From liver transplant until 1 month after liver transplant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2024.
