Trial Information

A Phase II Trial of Bay 43-9006 in Progressive Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the objective tumor response rate of BAY 43-9006 (sorafenib tosylate) in
patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Adverse event rate(s). II. Progression free survival and time to progression. III.
Improvement in circulating hormone levels. IV. Overall survival.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to tumor type
(carcinoid vs islet cell/other well-differentiated tumor).

Patients receive oral sorafenib tosylate twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28
days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months until disease
progression and then every 6 months for up to 2 years from study entry.

- Prior or concurrent octreotide for symptomatic treatment allowed

- No concurrent therapeutic anticoagulation:

Concurrent prophylactic anticoagulation (i.e., low dose warfarin) of venous or arterial
access devices allowed provided requirements for INR or PTT are met

- At least 4 weeks since prior major surgery

- Recovered from all prior therapy

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Confirmed response rate (CR or PR) estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients

Outcome Description:

Kaplan-Meier methodology will be used to estimate the final success proportion (i.e., confirmed response rate with a 95% confidence interval).

Outcome Time Frame:

Up to 2 years

Safety Issue:

No
