E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine progression free survival (PFS) of sorafenib versus placebo after random assignment (randomized subset only). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare safety and tolerability in randomization phase
The following secondary objectives refer to all patients enrolled:
- To determine median overall survival
- To determine disease control rate (DCR)
- To determine overall PFS and time to progression (TTP)
- To determine response rate
- To determine whether tumor markers correlate with clinical benefit and whether
tumor markers in run-in phase predict clinical benefit
- To determine PFS and TTP after unblinding and retreatment with sorafenib
(only in subjects randomized to placebo and retreated with sorafenib)
- Safety and tolerability
