  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with refractory solid cancer for which curative or palliative measures have failed or patients for whom standard treatment is considered ineffective or intolerable
  • Histological or cytological documentation of cancer is required
  • Patients with at least one evaluable lesion. Lesions must be evaluated by Computed Tomography (CT) scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks

  • Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements to be conducted within 7 days prior to dosing:
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,500/mm3
  • Platelet count >=100,000/dL
  • Total bilirubin <=1.5 times the upper limit of normal

Patients who are being therapeutically anticoagulated with an agent such as Coumadin or heparin will be allowed to participate provided that no prior evidence of underlying abnormality in these parameters exists. For patients on anticoagulation therapy, at least weekly evaluations will be performed until International Normalized Ratio (INR) is stable as defined by the local standard of care
  • Serum creatinine <=1.5 x upper limit of normal

Who cannot join

  • Colorectal cancer whether refractory or not
  • Supine systolic blood pressure greater than 170 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 100 mmHg (mean of duplicate readings) at Screening with or without antihypertensives
  • Symptomatic metastatic brain or meningeal tumors
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sorafenib (Nexavar, BAY43-9006) in people with Neoplasms, run by Bayer at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of sorafenib on cardiovascular safety parameters (time frame: up to 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00259129, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Nov 2014.
