About this study
Combining Sorafenib with standard cytotoxic fluoropyrimidine therapy for advanced colorectal cancer may provide clinical benefit when no other treatment remains.
Read the detailed description
The Raf/MEK/ERK pathway is an important mediator of responses to growth factors, and a strong inducer of genes involved in tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Inhibition of this pathway has been previously proven to be highly clinically beneficial for patients with this disease. It has also been clearly demonstrated that the inhibition of VEGF, when coupled with cytotoxic therapy and/or continued beyond initial response, can improve clinical outcomes and survival in this same cohort of patients. Safety and pharmacokinetic data have already been established for this novel doublet oral chemotherapy. This study is intended to determine the activity of a combination of oral fluoropyrimidine plus sorafenib in an advanced mCRC patient population for whom limited treatment options remain.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Sorafenib Activity
Determine activity of sorafenib plus capecitabine on progression free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
Measured: 2 years
Secondary outcomes (5)
Overall Survival
Evaluate overall survival after treatment.
Measured: 5 years
Response Rate
This is the percentage of subjects that achieved either a complete response or a partial response per RECIST 1.1 criteria
Measured: 3 months
Response Duration
This is the median response duration (median time from date of a complete or partial response to date of disease progression per RECIST 1.1 criteria) and includes only subjects that achieved either a complete or partial response to treatment per RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Measured: up to 12 months
Toxicity (Percentage of Subjects That Experienced an Adverse Event)
Evaluate acute toxicity of treatment. The toxicity assessments were graded by the NCI CTCAE (Clinical Trial Common Adverse Event) grading system - a global standard for assessments of clinical and laboratory toxicities. All toxicities are scored 1(mild) through 5 (death related to the event) based upon well-defined and reproducible definitions.
Measured: 12 months
Correlative Tissue Analysis
Exploratory tissue analysis in patients receiving sorafenib plus capecitabine
Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Sorafenib Plus Capecitabine (SorCape) in people with Colorectal Cancer Metastatic, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.
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 11 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 23 Jul 2020. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Sorafenib Activity (time frame: 2 years). 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 23 Jul 2020.
