Measure
Sorafenib
Sorafenib for patients with metastatic or recurrent esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer. Sorafenib, administered orally: Sorafenib 400 mg twice daily administered continuously. Patients will continue on treatment until progression of disease. Each cycle consists of 28 days. The cycle start date will coincide with the physician visit date. Because of the potential need for physician visit scheduling to vary (due to both physician and patient issues), to avoid violation of, and deviation from, the protocol, these visits may vary by up to one to fourteen (1-14) days. A study diary will be completed by patients to ensure compliance with the study drug.
