Summary

Comparison of Nexavar with a placebo as maintenance therapy for patients with advanced Ovarian or primary Peritoneal cancers in complete remission following surgery and one regimen of chemotherapy.

Eligibility Criteria

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.
