Brief Summary: This randomized phase II trial studies how well S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine Disulphate P-Toluene-Sulfonate SAMe works compared to a placebo in preventing liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming The use of SAMe may keep cancer from forming in patients with advanced liver disease
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE

I To determine whether treatment with SAMe for 24 weeks reduces serum level of alpha-fetoprotein AFP in patients with advanced liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE

I To determine whether treatment with SAMe for 24 weeks reduces serum levels of des-gamma carboxyprothrombin DCP and alpha-fetoprotein-L3 AFP-L3 in patients with advanced liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C hepatocellular carcinoma tumor markers

II To determine whether treatment with SAMe for 24 weeks alters biochemical markers of liver disease eg serum alanine aminotransferase ALT aspartate aminotransferase AST albumin or bilirubin etc and hepatitis C viral load in patients with advanced liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C hepatitis C liver disease

III To determine whether treatment with SAMe for 24 weeks reduces serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha TNF-alpha plasma levels of malondialdehyde MDA 4-hydroxynonenal 4-HNE and urine levels of F2-isoprostane in patients with advanced liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C oxidative stress

IV To determine whether treatment with SAMe for 24 weeks reduces plasma levels of methionine and homocysteine and increases plasma glutathione GSH and SAMe in patients with advanced liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C SAMe metabolites

V To determine the safety tolerability and quality of life of SAMe treatment up to 2400 mgday for 24 weeks in patients with advanced liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C

OUTLINE Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

ARM I Patients receive SAMe orally PO twice daily BID for 24 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

ARM II Patients receive placebo PO once daily QD for weeks 1-4 PO BID for weeks 5-8 and PO three times daily TID for weeks 9-24 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

After completion of study treatment patients are followed up at 6 weeks
