Trial summary

In preclinical studies, 5-fluorouracil, one of the active metabolites of S-1, showed synergistic effect to sorafenib in human colon carcinoma cell lines. Therefore, sorafenib combined with S-1 might be more effective treatment for patients with advanced HCC than sorafenib monotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Trial of S-1 in Combination With Sorafenib for Patients With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

In preclinical studies, 5-fluorouracil, one of the active metabolites of S-1, showed synergistic effect to sorafenib in human colon carcinoma cell lines. Therefore, sorafenib combined with S-1 might be more effective treatment for patients with advanced HCC than sorafenib monotherapy. The investigators propose to conduct a phase I study to determine maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of S-1 in combination with fixed dose of sorafenib in patients with advanced HCC

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • sorafenib, TS-1Drug

    D1-14 S-1 dose of level 1/2/3/4 D1-21 Sorafenib 400mg twice daily Every 3 weeks-cycle

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MTD

    Primary objectives:

    1. To determine maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of S-1 combined with fixed dose of sorafenib 400mg twice daily.

    Secondary objectives:

    1. To evaluate toxicity profiles and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing sorafenib, TS-1 in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MTD (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Feb 2012.
