PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1-year

Population: Patients who received at least one dose of the study drug were considered evaluable for both toxicity and response.

PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever comes first.

Measure
Sorafenib, Cisplatin, and Etoposide
n=16 Participants
Sorafenib, Cisplatin, and Etoposide for 4 cycles (months) during maintenance phase. If no disease progression continue with sorafenib for a maximum of 12 months.
Progression-free Survival(PFS)
5.1 months
Interval 1.2 to 8.2

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1-year

Population: Patients who received at least one dose of the study drug were considered evaluable for both toxicity and response.

Overall survival is measured from the date of chemotherapy treatment (date of cycle 1 of induction chemotherapy) until death and censored at the date of last follow-up for survivors.

Median Overall Survival
7.4 months
Interval 2.5 to 10.2

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: reevaluated for response every 8 weeks

Population: Patients who received at least one dose of the study drug were considered evaluable for both toxicity and response.

The Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) were used to assess response to the treatment. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started
