Trial Information

Phase I/II Study of Sorafenib In Combination With Low-dose FP Intraarterial Infusion Chemotherapy


In Phase I, there will be 9 to 18 patients enrolled. Cohorts of 3 to 6 patients will receive
escalated dose of cisplatin and fluorouracil until the MTD is reached. There will be no
intra-patient dose escalation. Sorafenib will be administered orally at a dose of 400mg bid
for 28 days in the all patients. Cisplatin at the dose of 10-20mg/m2 will be administered at
day 1 and day8, and fluorouracil at the dose of 170-330mg/m2 will be administered
continuously at day1-day5, and day8-day12 via the implanted catheter system. A cycle is
defined as 28 days and 3 cycles of this combination therapy will be continued. At the end of
each cycle, adverse effect will be evaluated and dose escalation will be determined. In
Phase II, there will be 28 patients enrolled. Time to progression of this combination
therapy at the recommended dose will be evaluated.
