Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effectiveness and Safety Study of TACE Plus Oral Sorafenib for Unresectable HCC (NCT NCT00576056)

NCT ID: NCT00576056

Last Updated: 2017-02-15

Results Overview

Progression free survival (PFS) is calculated as the time interval between the date on which a patient first received protocol treatment and the documented date of disease progression or death. For a surviving and progression-free patient, PFS is censored by the last follow-up date when that patient is documented to be progression free. Progression is defined using RECIST v1.0, as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measureable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

Measure
Tace + Sorafenib
Patients with unresectable HCC will be treated with TACE in combination with oral sorafenib administration. TACE will be accomplished with gelatin microspheres (Embospheres) following delivery of 125 mg/m2 of cisplatin. Oral sorafenib (400 mg BID) will start the next day after the first TACE treatment. TACE + Sorafenib: TACE will be accomplished with gelatin microspheres (Embospheres) following delivery of 125 mg/m2 of cisplatin. Oral sorafenib (400 mg BID) will start the next day after the first TACE treatment until unacceptable toxicity occurs, or until study termination.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 24 months (from initial treatment through 12 months follow-up)

Population: Patients who received at least one cycle of the entire treatment regimen (this did not include two patients who went on to receive liver transplants).

Progression free survival (PFS) is calculated as the time interval between the date on which a patient first received protocol treatment and the documented date of disease progression or death. For a surviving and progression-free patient, PFS is censored by the last follow-up date when that patient is documented to be progression free. Progression is defined using RECIST v1.0, as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measureable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From date of initial treatment until the date of death from any cause

Population: Patients who received at least one cycle of the entire treatment regimen (this did not include two patients who went on to receive liver transplants).

Overall survival (OS) is calculated as the time interval between the date on which a patient first received protocol treatment and the documented date of death. For a surviving patient, OS is censored by the last follow-up date when that patient is documented to be alive.
