What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to Progression (TTP)

    Time to progression (TTP) was defined as the time from date of randomization to radiological progression / recurrence. Subjects without progression at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation.

    Measured: From randomization of the first subject until radiological progression or recurrence whichever came first, assessed up to 39 months.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from date of randomization to death due to any cause. Subjects still alive at their last date of follow-up were censored at the time of analysis.

    Measured: From randomization of the first subject until 39 months later.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sorafenib (Nexavar, BAY43-9006) in people with Carcinoma, Hepatocellular, run by Bayer at 75 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 20 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 75 sites in Japan, South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jan 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Time to Progression (TTP) (time frame: From randomization of the first subject until radiological progression or recurrence whichever came first, assessed up to 39 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 NCT00494299, 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 20 Dec 2013.
