About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Ovarian Neoplasms focused on measuring Peritoneal Neoplasma

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (67) III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer or primary peritoneal cancer at presentation. Patients must have achieved a clinical complete response (disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of tumor) after only one regimen (4-6 cycles) of platinum and taxane-based standard chemotherapy received after tumor debulkment.
  • Normal serum CA125 (cancer-associated tumor marker) level within 7 days of first dose of sorafenib.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
  • All scans used to document complete response must be done within 30 days prior to randomization.
  • Patients must be able to swallow and retain oral medication.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with any residual cancer tissue after the completion of chemotherapy detectable by standard Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Prior local radiotherapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy or intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
  • Histologic subtypes of ovarian cancer other than epithelial (i.e. sarcoma, lymphoma, germ cell).
  • Major surgery, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 30 days prior to randomization.

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

Sorafenib (Nexavar, BAY43-9006)

Arm Description

Participants received 2 sorafenib tablets (200 mg each) per oral twice daily (bid)

Participants received 2 matching placebo tablets per oral twice daily

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Progression-free Survival (PFS), Based on Radiological or Pathologic Assessment
Time from randomization to the first documented disease progression by radiological or pathologic assessment or death due to any cause whichever occurred first. For patients who had not progressed or died at the time of analysis, PFS was censored at the date of their last evaluable tumor scan.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time to First Pathologic CA-125 (Cancer-associated Tumor Marker) Serum Level
Time from randomization to the first documented increase of CA-125 above the upper limit of normal. Patients without pathologic CA-125 increase at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of evaluation of CA-125.
Overall Survival (OS)
The OS time was measured from the date of randomization until the date of death due to any cause. Patients who were alive at the time of analysis were censored at the date of the last contact (last time the patient was known to be alive).
