E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in HCC patients with HIV receiving PI-based HAART regimens. |
Lo studio valuta la fattibilita' e l'efficacia della combinazione del sorafenib con un'HAART a base di IP, nei pazienti con infezione da HIV ed HCC in stadio avanzato di malattia. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess:
STEP A and STEP B:
• Overall Survival
• OS rate at 6 months
• Evaluation of Response Rate (RR)
• Evaluation of impact on HIV infection (HIV-RNA viral load, CD4-CD8 counts)
• Evaluation of Quality of life (FACT-Hep)
• Evaluation of the role of innate immunity (receptors of NK and TNK cells) and adaptive immunity (interferon-class I and immuno-complexes) in relationship to clinical response and HCV viral load in HCV co-infected patients.
• Evaluation of serum proteomic profile and 2D-DIGE approaches in relationship to drug toxicity and clinical response |
Individuare:
• Sopravvivenza globale
• Tasso di Sopravvivenza a 6 mesi
• Impatto sull’infezione da HIV
• Qualita' di vita con il questionario FACT-Hep
• Ruolo dell'immunita' innata ( recettori NK e cellule Natural Killer,NK) e adattiva (Interferon e immunocomplessi) in pazienti con coinfezione HIV-HCV e correlazione con la viremia di HCV.
• Valutazione proteomica su siero e tessuto (2D-DIGE) in relazione alla risposta clinica e alla tossicita'. |
