PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Population: Responses were calculated by total enrolled to each group by histologic subtype.

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Population: Of the 59 patients that were consented, four patients were deemed ineligible as a result of inadequate CBC and the establishment of an alternative diagnosis resulting from secondary pathology review. Therefore the total number of patients analyzed going forward was 55.

This is the result of the Kaplan Meier analysis of all patients treated with sorafenib
