What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SorafenibDrug

    Sorafenib (NEXAVAR, Bayer) will be administered after TACE continuous dosing from day 1 until progression or up to 6 cycles of TACE as an oral 400mg twice-daily without food (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating).

  • TACE (Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization)Procedure or surgery

    Sorafenib (NEXAVAR, Bayer) will be administered after TACE continuous dosing from day 1 until progression or up to 6 cycles of TACE as an oral 400mg twice-daily without food (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating).

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to progression

    Assessments including image and laboratory studies will take place within 7days of the every TACE cycle

    Measured: 2 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the toxicity profiles

    Clinically assessed every TACE cycle

    Measured: 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sorafenib and TACE (Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization) in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Chung-Ang University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 16 inclusion and 18 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Joung-Soon Jang, M.D. (82-2-6299-1427, alsaba@daum.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to progression (time frame: 2 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Jun 2011.
