- Patients must be able to swallow and retain oral medication.

Exclusion Criteria:

randomization.

- Any other hemorrhage/bleeding event ≥ NCI-CTCAE Grade 3 within 4 weeks of
randomization.

- Active clinically serious infection > NCI-CTCAE Grade 2.

breast cancer EXCEPT cervical cancer in-situ, treated basal cell carcinoma,
superficial bladder tumors [Ta and Tis] or any cancer curatively treated > 5 years
prior to randomization.

- Known or suspected allergy to sorafenib or gemcitabine/capecitabine.
