Inclusion
Inclusion Criteria:

≥18 years of age and ability to understand and the willingness to sign a writteninformed consent document. A legally authorized representative signature in the eventthat the subject is not able to sign themselves is permitted.
Patients must have either not been eligible for sorafenib therapy, have failedsorafenib therapy, have discontinued sorafenib therapy due to intolerable toxicity orhave refused sorafenib
ECOG performance status ≤2
Childs Pugh score of ≤7
Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
Must be able to swallow tablets
Must be willing to comply with protocol procedures (including completion of diariesand outcome measures)
Local or loco-regional therapy (ie surgery, radiation therapy, hepatic arterialembolization, chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation, percutaneous ethanolinjection or cryoablation) must have been completed ≥4 weeks prior to enrollment
Must be willing to undergo a pretreatment biopsy
A history of prior radiotherapy is permitted, as long as the prior radiated site isnot overlapping with the site of planned SBRT
Measurable disease as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1
An index lesion measuring between 1cm-10cm that is amenable to hypofractionatedradiation therapy at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist
Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performedat screening
Subjects must use an approved contraceptive method (for example, intrauterine device,birth control pills or barrier device) which has an expected failure rate of <1%, ifappropriate for at least 3 months after the last dose of galunisertib.
Must have adequate organ and hematopoietic function Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 x 109/L Platelet count ≥100 x 109/L Hemoglobin ≥9.0 x 109/L Alanine transaminase ≤2.5 xULN Aspartate aminotransferase ≤2.5 x ULN Serum creatinine or CrCl ≤2.0 x ULN TotalBilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN
Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
Any history of a serious medical or psychiatric condition that would prevent thepatient from signing the informed consent form
Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Use of any other chemotherapy, radiotherapy or experimental drug within 4 weeks priorto first study treatment date
A history of radiotherapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would render SBRTunsafe to administer
Those who have not recovered from adverse events ≤ grade 1 secondary to therapyadministered >4 weeks prior to first study treatment date, with the exception ofstable grade 2 neuropathy
Subjects may not receive concomitant anticancer agents. Antiviral agents aimed attreating infectious hepatitis are permitted
History of or suspected hypersensitivity to radiation or to galunisertib
History of and/or current HIV infection (HIV testing during screening must benegative)
Uncontrolled ascites
Subjects with a history of or evidence of cardiac disease during screening, definedas any one of the following: myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to studyentry, unstable angina pectoris, New York Heart Association Class III/IV congestiveheart failure, uncontrolled hypertension.
Subjects with a documented major ECG abnormalities (not responding to medicaltreatments) or not clinically stable for at least 6 months.
Subjects with major abnormalities documented by ECHO with Doppler (for example,moderate or severe heart valve function defect) that is not stable for at least 6months.. Note: Left ventricular [LV] ejection fraction <50% is allowed only ifclinically stable for at least 6 months (evaluation based on the institutional lowerlimit of normal).
Subjects with a predisposition toward developing aneurysms of the ascending aorta oraortic stress including a family history of aneurysms, Marfan Syndrome, Ehlers DanlosType IV, bicuspid aortic valve or evidence of damage to the large vessels of theheart documented by previously obtained or screening CT scan/MRI
Subjects with uncontrolled brain metastases. Subjects with brain metastases must havestable neurological status following local therapy (surgery or radiation) for atleast 4 weeks prior to first study treatment and must be off steroids
Any concurrent condition requiring the continued or anticipated use of systemicsteroids beyond physiologic replacement dosing (excluding non-systemic inhaled,topical skin and/or eye drop-containing corticosteroids) or immunosuppressive therapy (excludes low-dose methotrexate). All other systemic corticosteroids abovephysiologic replacement dosing must be discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to firststudy treatment
Active drug or alcohol use or dependence as documented in the chart that, in theopinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements
A second primary malignancy that, in the judgment of the investigator, may affect theinterpretation of results
Prior malignancies. Patients with carcinoma in-situ of any origin and patients withprior malignancies who are in remission and whose likelihood of recurrence is verylow (such as basal cell carcinoma) as judged by the Lilly clinical research physician (CRP), are eligible.
Any illness or condition that in the opinion of the investigator may affect thesafety of the subject or the evaluation of any study endpoint
Any other conditions judged by the investigator that would limit the evaluation ofthe subject
