Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sorafenib With Capecitabine for Patients With Measurable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (NCT NCT01032850)

NCT ID: NCT01032850

Last Updated: 2021-06-02

Results Overview

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of the study treatment regimen. The analyses will be descriptive and no formal hypotheses testing will be performed. Toxicities (i.e. Adverse Events) are evaluated prior to each treatment and during any clinical visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Tumor response is evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.0). Target lesions are assessed by computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI:) Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), neither sufficient decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions to qualify for Progressive Disease; Progressive Disease (PD), 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Disease control rate (DCR) is the sum of the percentages of patients achieving complete and partial responses and stable disease
