Official Title: A Multicenter National Phase II Open Study Coupled With Translational Assessment of Biomarkers Predictive of Response to Sunitinib in Patients With Advanced/Inoperable Fibrolamel

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antitumor activity of sunitinib in patients with advanced/inoperable fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.

Rationale: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor
