A Phase 1b, Multi-Center, Open-Label, Dose Finding Study of CC-122 in Combination With Sorafenib in Subjects With Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

CC-122-HCC-001 is a Phase 1b dose escalation and expansion clinical study of CC-122 in
combination with sorafenib for subjects with unresectable HCC who have received no prior
systemic therapy for HCC. The dose escalation phase of the study will explore several dose
levels of CC-122 in combination with sorafenib (continuously administered orally at 400 mg
BID), followed by an expansion part of the study using the optimal combination dose regimen.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of CC-122
administered orally in combination with sorafenib, and to define the non-tolerated dose
(NTD), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

The secondary objective of the study is to determine the preliminary efficacy of CC-122 in
combination with sorafenib, based on response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST
1.1)

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject understands and voluntarily signs an informed consent document prior to
conducting any study related assessments/procedures

2. Subject is 18 years of age or more at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form

3. Subject has a confirmed pathologic diagnosis of Hepatocellular carcinoma according to
the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases Guidelines.A biopsy
performed at screening may serve as a diagnostic biopsy for subjects with
radiographic diagnosis.

carcinoma according to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging.Stage B subjects
must have progressed after, or are not eligible for curative resection,
transplantation, embolic, or ablative therapies

5. Subject has at least one measurable lesion according to Response Evaluation Criteria
in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Evaluable target lesions may not have been treated with

they are the only lesions available and have shown objective definite progression
after prior treatment. Local therapy must have been completed at least four weeks
prior to baseline tumor evaluation

performed, prior to starting Cycle 1

9. Subject has Child-Pugh score of less than 7 (ie, class A or better) with neither
encephalopathy nor clinically significant ascites (ascites requiring paracentesis
within 3 months of signing the ICF is excluded). Child-Pugh status is calculated
based on clinical findings and laboratory results during the screening period.

a. Serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine amino-transferase of at least 5 times
the upper limit of normal b. Serum total bilirubin of at least 3 mg/dL c. Serum
albumin of at least 2.8 g/dL Note: Laboratories in combination must still be Child
Pugh score less than 7

Other laboratory parameters:

1. Serum creatinine of at least 1.5 times the upper limit of normal

2. Potassium within normal range or corrected with supplements

11. For subjects with known or suspected cirrhosis, esophagogastroduodenoscopy ) within
12 months of signing the informed consent form, showing no evidence of untreated
varices or stigmata of active bleeding (such as active ulcer, visible vessel, or
blood) is required.

Subjects with history of upper GI bleeding must have an EGD of 3 months or less prior
to signing the consent form confirming adequate prior endoscopic therapy (eg, no
evidence of any untreated varices, recent or active bleeding, stigmata suggesting
high risk for bleeding, active ulcer). Subjects with history/suspected esophageal
varices must be on optimal medical management (eg, proton pump inhibitor and
non-selective beta-blocker) per local institutional policy.

12. Subject is able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements

13. Pregnancy Prevention Risk Management Plan

1. Females of childbearing potential must undergo pregnancy testing based on the
frequency outlined in Pregnancy Prevention Risk Minimization Plan and pregnancy
results must be negative.

2. Unless practicing complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse, sexually
active FCBP must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods as specified in
Pregnancy Prevention Risk Minimization Plan.

- Complete abstinence is only acceptable in cases where this is the preferred
and usual lifestyle of the subject.

- Periodic abstinence (calendar ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation
methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable.

3. Males (including those who have had a vasectomy) must use barrier contraception
(condoms) when engaging in sexual activity with Female of Childbearing Potential
as specified in Pregnancy Prevention Risk Minimization Plan.

4. Males must agree not to donate semen or sperm for 3 months after last dose of
CC-122.

5. All subjects must:

- Understand that CC-122 could have a potential teratogenic risk.

- Agree to abstain from donating blood while taking CC-122 or sorafenib and
